Conflict of Authority.
The marshaFs communication was
then read, stating that he had re-
ceived a communication from the
clerk to the mayor stating that the
latter had granted to Richard War
field, steward at The police station, a
leave of absence of three weeks. The
marshal stated in his communication
that he had no objection to the
steward being granted the leave OF
absence, but that being the head of
the department he desired to keep ac-
quainted with what is occurring in the
police department He requested the
board to ratify the action of the
mayor in granting the leave.
The board did not take this view
of the matter Chairman Oliver said
he was of the opinion that the mayor
had overstepped his authority, mas
much as the steward was elected by
and is in the employ of, the Board
of Safety and subject to its orders.
After much discussion, the clerk was
instructed to address a letter to the
city attorney giving the facts in the
case and asking for the authority of
the board over it's employees.
Steward Warfield then came before
the board and made application for
leave, which was granted.

Even the Indian hates and heredi-
tary feuds find expression in names.
The members of a certain Indian tribe,
despised for their peacefulness, were
in cOntemptuous pariance Ottawas,
traders" while fiercely fighting tribe
were admiringly termed Fries, or wild
cats" by their enemies. Our Iowas are
a corruption of a deTisive word signi-
flying "drowsy or sleepy ones,'' term
given by the waTlike Sioux of the north
to his quieter red brethren of the plains.
The scOrnful IrOquOis called each Al
gonquin of the New York mountains
an Adirondack. signifying ''he eats
bark" The latter retOrted by clubbing
each Iroquois a Mohawk" or imam
eater" a grim testimonial in it's way TO
the fierce and relentless Iroquois char
acter. The family of the Sioux, the IA
nous fighters of the northwest divided
IS tney were into eight great branches
1r subtribes, gave to themselves the
comprehensive name of Dakotas, 'allied
friendly compact" but their
Indian foemen called them by the bitter
term of Sioux, ''cut-throats."
The Indian was a born story teller.
Every lake and river, every rock and
every plain had its story, it's incident,
its legend. The Indian gave ever those
mind.
Winona Minnesota, has beautiful
legend. Winona, ''first-born daughter
was the child of a stern warrior. He
bade her marry one of the notable
braves of his people. She loved another.
Rather than marry the brave, whom
| she hated, she threw herself from the
/ cliff of the Maiden's Leap, that over
/ looks the point where the Mississippi's
/ waters flow through Lake Pepin, and
beneath the rivers turbulent waters
found the peace that was denied her on
earth. Another Minnesota legend, that
of Minnehaha, recalls to most minds
Longfellow's famous poem. He, how
1 ever. took the usual poets license IN
the matter. In the real legend, Mime
haha, Laughing water" did not be-
come the bride of Hiawatha. but was
crossed in love. In her despair she
sought the falls of Minnehaha, after
which she had been named Here. ovel
a precipice sixty feet high, she took tbs
fatal leap.
All Indian traditions are not sorrow
full Quite the reverse in many cases
as the story of the naming of Wakaru
sa. Kan. will show. Once a party o.

their progress by swollen and angry
