Legend of Rock Island Cave

The name of Illinois suggests po-
etic Indian legendry. Traditions
breathing romance and reverence
and as interesting as any Scandinav
ian folklore are associated with the
grandeur of the state. writes H. w.
Kemperton in the Illinois Statesman.
Perhaps the best known of Illinois
legends is the story of the Piasa bird,
told daily 10 visitors in the high
bluffs near the mouth of Piasa creek
on the Mississippi, between the juno
ton of the Illinois and the father of
waters at Alton
Historical writer's have found
slight conflicts in the tales told of
this terrible man-eating bird by the
different Indians of Illinois. Frank C.
Riehl of Alton has woven from the
traditions of the Illini his beautiful
poem:
Ere the white ever gazed upon
the Mississippis flood,
When the Indian was sole monarch
in this western solitude,
This dreadful thing-bird. beast or
devil, so the olden legends say
Cast its shadow DER the valley on a
sultry autumn day.
Just above where the Missouri and
the Mississippi blend,
And the latter swerves TO southwark.
as the bluffs abruptly end,
There the monster made its lodgings
in a cave beneath the cliff,
Where the terror-stricken warrior
first beheId it from his skiff
Twas a fearsOme thing TO look on
with it's great ferocious head,
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-08-04

And its mighty vise-like talons, sharp
as spears and bloody red,
While the vampire wings, extended,
showed an alligator tail,
And the body safe protected with a
rugged coat of mail.
All day, perched upon the hilltop, it
would gaze upon the wave,
But retreated with the darkness to the
cover of the cave;
And, infallible as Nature, just at break
and close of day,
Did it spread its mighty pinions and
go forth in search Of prey.
Woe to any living creature that its
eagle eye might scan;
oft it captured deer or bison, but its
favorite food was man.
1t would seize its helpless victim and
retire within the cave.
And, once grasped within those talons,
all was powerless to save
The poet tells of the ravases of the
bird, of its seizure of warriors and
huntsmen and its theft of children and
squaws from the wigwams.
But at last an aged chieftan had a
vision in which he saw himself the sa-
vior of his tribe He offered himself
as a sacrifice to the bird, the young
men of tribe lay<in wait with their
arrows, and
They aimed with trained precision,
and a dozen twanging strings
Hurled as many deadly arrows deep
beneath the monsters wings.
With a scream of rage and terror.
such as never since was heard,
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-08-04

Backward, DER the towering hilltop,
dying, fell the mighty bird"
Another legend of the Piasa bird Is
brought down from the Miamis by the
Hon. P. A. Armstrong. The Miamis
composed of one of the tribes in the
Him confederacy and they lived near
the present site of Alton. Their ira
dition, which agrees with others upon
the appearance of the two weird birds
except that they had the claws of an
alligator, relates
They spent the greater part OF
their time is resting and doing on the
country. The voice Of one was like
the roaring of a buffalo bull, of the
other like the scream of a panther.
They sWooped down and carried off
young deer and elk, which they bore
to their cavern home to devour at
their leisure. But they never modest
ed the Indians until one morning
when the Miamis and the Mestche=
gamis (Michigamis) met in battle in
the Plasa canyon 10 DO each other TO
death In the midst of the carnage,
Just when the Mestchegamis were wa
vering and about to fly, these two hor-
rible monsters came flying down the
canyon uttering bellowings and
shrieks. while the tapping of their
wings rolled out like so many thun-
der claps. Passing close over the
heads of the combatants. each picked
up a Miami chieftain and bore him,
struggling, aloft, leaving the tribe
terrified and demoralized.
1.-The Mestchegamis, thinking the
Great Spirit had sent them the moH
sters to aid them against their eni-
mics, gave a great war-whoop and re-
newed the battle, which now became
a rout and a massacre. The Miamis
fed across the country and dared not

the same. He said the circumstances
were indelibly stamped on his mind.
Mr.. White was unable to recall
whether or not he spent two or three
days previous to May "a. 1909, in Chi
cago with Otis and Sidney Yarbrough.
He denied that he was at a Chicago
resort on the night of May %
He said he could not recall whether
or not 1t was true, as stated by Mr.
Hanecy, that he left Chicago at $50
on the night of May %.
Mr. White has been uncertain at
Just what time his sconversa-
ton took place, but has thought
it might have been as early
as IL o'clock at night or as late
at 2 o'clock in the morning.
No PLEDGE TO LORIMER-
White denied that he had talk
with Mr. Lorimer 10 days previous to
the latter's election and that he told
him he would vote for him if he got a
chance. He denied also that he made
a similar statement to former Repre-
sentative Homer E. Shaw He furth-
denied absolutely having made state
ments attributed to him by George
Gloss.
For a considerable part Of the morn
ing session Mr.. Hanecy catechized the
witness regarding his views on theoio-
gy, philosophy and kindred matters.
In his direct examination John n.

brought out the fact that Mr. White
had read a good many books, which
might have been responsible for his
present rather peculiar state Of mind.
TELLS BELIEF IN HEREAFTER.
Mr. White said he believed in God
and a hereafter. but that he had not
professed allegiance TO any particular

religious denomination. Mr.. Hanecy
wanted to know if he believed in the
doctrine of faith, hope and charity and
the witness replied that he did.
The attorney sarcastically remark
ed that he had given no evidence of
it, but White came back with the as
sertion that his exposure of Legislative
corruption for the good of the public
was matter of charity.
Mr. White said undoubtedly he had
made some mistakes in his method of
procedure, but that he was trying to
enlighten the public regarding exist
ing wrongs.
In order to make sure, the attor-
ney asked for the names OF the minis
tiers at the churches attended by him.
Mr.. White told him about Brother
Atkins and Brother" Neighbors, who
were pastors of the Southern Metho-
dist church at Johnson City, Tenn,
and about Brother" Kelly at Knox
vile, in the same state.
IN FRONT SEAT At CHURCH.
Mr. Hanecy thought that Mr.. White
must have sat near the door whenever
he attended church, but the witness
said he often sat on the front seat and
sometimes in the amen corner"
Mr.. White said he attended Sunday
school regularly at Johnson City until
he was Is years old and for a couple
of years after that he attended
church and Sunday school a Knox
vile. He said he last attended
church in the spring of 1910 at ORAL

Discussing labor problems, Mr.
White said be believed that men who
were receiving unjust treatment from
their employers were justified in go
ing on. strike, even thought their &C
ton might lead to restitution, VIC
lence and murder.
He said all laws were not right, rep

ing been responsible for putting some
of the measures on the statute books.
Mr.. White said he believed in the mi

questions in such a way as to carry
limitations rejecting on Whites pTi

Chicago, June Mildred Bridges,
the 17-year-old girl with whose alb
duction Evelyn Arthur See founder of
the Absolute Life cult, is charged, to-
day testified that she had gone to live
in Sees so-called temple with the full
consent OF her father and mother.
After two days on the witness stand
during which time the girl parried
most of the questions OF the prosecu-
ting attorney by replies in the vernac-

mined by the counsel for See Her
replies were direct and intelligent.
Several times the girl fatty con-

Mona Rees, would reveal the inner
most secrets of absolute life, the great
