Origia Of Name q Wi,.enuscea

Miss Weir, of the Nevada State Uni
versity, who has made q study of the
history and traditions of the Piute
tribe, offers the following Us the origin
of the name "Winnemucca."
When white men first came to this
state they found II young chief ut the
head of the Piute tribe. This young
man was deeply in love and an old
custom among the Indians compelled
him to dispose with one moccusin Us Il
sign that his heart was not free.
The young chief was among those
who visited the white mans camp and
they probably dubbed him "One
M~occasin." The Indian term for foot
covering is "mucca,' and this young
ohicf soon became ''One Mucca." That
was soon contracted to ''Onc-mucca'
and then in Indian linguistic parlance
to Winnemucca.
This was the chief that attempted t.
prevent the war between the Piutcs and
the whites that ended with the mas,
sacre of Major Ormsby and his com
mand and has been the family name oi
the chiefs of the PiutcS ever since

course distressed him 50 much that he
became melancholy; his brain gave way,
and he sought relief in death. Another
suicide which greatly startled the
country II few months later. that Of
Senator Lane of Kansas. was attributed
Ia a similar cause. Jim Lane had
been II Of the most famous free state

that the people of indianapolis. his home,
are preparing agrand reception for him

Mayor Charles y. Bookwalter, II re-
publican. the man who placed Fair
banks i'll nomination ut Chicago, in
speaking of Mr.. Kern said:
John w. Kern will not be Il load for
Bryan. He will help carry the load. In
1904 he ran ahead of Parker in Indiana,
while the republican candidate for gov
crnor ran 5000 votes behind President
Roosevelt. l believe that Kern is 5000
or 10000 stronger than his ticket. He's
Just the finest fellow | know. 1t is
gratifying to see u man like Kern with
out money nominated for this Office, be.
cause of his ability and not because of

more weight with the American people
