Semlnoles Accept serpent's Coming 10
Council as Augury.
Great CONSERVATION was created
among the members of the Seminole
council at Wewoka, says a Muskogee
I. I'd telegram to the Kansas City
Star, when a large rattlesnake .glded
into the tent where the assemblage
was being addressed by the attorney
of the nation. Capt. A. ]. McKennon.
Capt. McKennon was about to kill the
snake when one of the councilmen
stopped him, explaining in broken
English: Him rattlesnake; he come
to Seminole council; no other snake
do that He sent by Great Spirit. He
go south; that mean Mexico. We must
all go Mexico soon."
The captain was told that the rat
tlesnake had long been a messenger
to the Seminole tribe from the Great
Spirit. They told him that just be-
fore their fight with Jackson, in the
south many moons ago, great rattle
snake crawled from the bank Of lake
and came into camp. The medicine
men assembled and told the members
of the tribe that great trouble was
about to come upon them. They would
have a great fight, and as the snake
went west a part of the tribe would
be driven west They said that the
rattlesnake had been looked upon as
a messenger ever since. Capt. McKen-
non apologized for attempting to kill
the messenger from the Great Spirit
and appeased the anger Of the council
by giving the members a box OF ci'
gars.

the butler passed the spirit lamp
when Andrew appeared at the billiard
room door and informed them that
reading was in progress in the draw

to leave their cigars to hear it. The

few minutes the host sent the but
