Residents of Waveland and bay
ST. Louis were shocked this noon to
learn of the tragic death OF Peter
Edward Hellwege, which occurred TINS
forenoon while on his way to his OF
flee in New Orleans.
It appears, from the meagre infor-
nation received by the family, as
contained in no less than half a
dozen messages by wire, Mr.. .HeilWege
who was riding on the Coast train'
either fell or slipped from the steps
of the platform while going from one
coach to another, and from the time
it is thought the accident occurred
the train must have been somewhere
around Rigolets. The remains were
taken to New Orleans, from where
the funeral will take place tomorrow

the life of a relative, who, like, Mr..
Leflore, is now in spirit life. My
kinswoman,5 years since, was known
for beauty, intelligence and brilliance

friendship for Mr. Leflore was always

natural ability. He was a half breed

Choctaw Indian, the Canadian French
and more remetely. the Knickerbock

On one occasion, where the table was
laden with turkey, venison and many
delicacies, "sour hominy" was also
served. "Sour hominy" is an Indian
dish, as was also a nectar-like drink
made from the sumnac berries. Mrs.
Leflore hustled about with much ma
tronly dignity, seeing that all visitors
were we'll cared for. AS she grace
fully poured the aromatic coffee, she
would ask each guest, "Will you have
your coffee spilled (spoiled) with
cream?" Again, when a son had re-
turned home from college, he under
took to correct his fathers English,
while at the supper table. The stern
parent seized plate, hurled it across
the table toward the face of the flip
young son, saying, Young man, whose

Always a friend and protector to
the Choctaws he counciled them for
much good He advocated their re-

Mississippi is proud of our Indian
statesman is proven by the fact that
county, Leflore, and city, Green

His death was greatly mourned by
both Indians and whites. To the In
