The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1911-12-22

At the conclusion of an uptown din
ner party, and while the women were
still at the table, a man who former
ly lived at St. Louis and had rubbed
up against Mississippi river boatmen,
told the following story:
A preacher of the old school had
dwelt at considerable length and with
much detail on the miracle of blow
ing down the walls of Jericho. After
the meeting closed and he was walk
ing home a boatman, with CON-
panion, overlook him and opened a
conversation with him on the subject
of the miracle.
you say said the boatman, that
seven men with seven horns walked
seven times round the walls and
blownd seven blasts seven times, and
then the walls fell in" The preach
er said that was the way it happened.
Looks reasonable, don't it," asked
the boatman. of his companion. who
shook his head doubtingly. ~

was seven men with seven horns. and
they marched seven times round the

OURAY

Ouray-a fat. lnscrutable-faced Ute
Indian-loudly proclaimed himself
1.-THE Friend of the White Man" Ger
tain white men living near his reser-
walton proclaimed quite as loudly that
the chief was a most unmttigated old
scoundrel. Others held that he was
one of those somewhat rare specimens.
good INDIAN Here is his history,
woven with the tale OF an Indian up
rising that brought his people into
tragic prominence about thirty years
ago:
The branches of the Ute nation"
were scattered over large sections of
Utah, Colorado and other states. Ouray
and his tribe lived in Colorado. They
were more or less at peace with the
white settlers. Ouray, who was rather
we'll educated, had gone several times
to Washington to urge his tribesmen's
rights Nathan e. MeeKer, the local
Indian agent, managed to dispense
justice on the reservation and was
thought to have won his red wards
love and absolute trust.
Forecasts Of Trouble.
Colorado was becoming more and
more thickly populated by white men.
Land that had once been practically
free to all corners began to take on
much higher value. Settlers grumbled
that the Ute reservation was too large
and that so much good ground would
be in better use if parcelled out among
white men than under native owner
ship. Meeker saw that the reserva'
ton must soon or late be cut down.
He is said to have talked the matter
over with Ouray and, with the chiefs
approval, to have suggested a plan for
easing the coming blow to the Utes.
The Utes whether inspired by
Ouray, or, as he claimed, against his
advice) fatty refused. They said they
were hunters, like their ancestors, not
mere farmers. They rebelled against
the agents authority. Daily the STU
alton grew worse. At last, In July of
1869, Meeker told the Indian depart
ment at Washington that an outbreak
seemed imminent. He asked that SOL
diers be sent to overawe the savages.
Accordingly two months later
force Under Major Thornburgh came
to look into the state of affairs. Every
effort was made to keep the coming
of the soldiers a profound secret. But
in the mysterious fashion known only
to Indians the news was flashed from

CANONCHET

the man they had so lavishly enter"
tanned and had dressed in a silver
laced coat was actually enrolling him
self among their enemies. So. IN
March, 1876, they sent an expedition
under Capt. Michael Pierce to- punish
Canonchet for breaking his treaty
pledges.
Pierce and his troops marched into
the Narragansett country and near the
Pawtucket river falls found Canonchet
with 800 Indian braves at his back.
Canonchet, as If in fear, crossed the
river with his men. Pierce followed In
hot pursuit. But as the English militia
men reached the farther bank the re"
treating Canonchet suddenly halted
and gave the order to attack. He had
3lured the English across the ice
choked stream in order to prevent
them from escaping into the forest.
With the river at his back, and the
Indians rushing down upon him from
the banks above, Pierce was caught In
a trap. He formed his soldiers In
double line of battle, back to back, on

TO- meet the avalanche Of savage as
sault as best he might. During the
fierce battle that ensued Canonchet
and his braves slew nearly every man.
News of this disastrous affair reused
all New England. Every colony there
was called on for militiamen to crush
Canonchet. A strong force Of soldiers
and friendly" Indians, under Capt.
George Denison, bore upon his camp.
took him by surprise. Canonchet made
a dash for the nearby river, meaning
to leap into it's waters and swim to
safety. AS he ran he threw away tho
silver-laced coat the English had given
him. The Indian allies of the col
onists gave chase, but Canonchet's
heetness Of foot kept him we'll ahead
of them. Just as he neared the bank
he slipped in the mud and fell. Be-
| fore he could scramble to his feet ha

The English gave Ca2onchet over to
their Indian friends for execution.
He was shot. His severed head was
sent by his fathers Mohegan foes to
the English governor at Hartford. and

Meantime General Merritt and a
strong force of regulars hurried to the
rescue of the besieged survivors of
Thornburgh's command. Ouray sent
word to all concerned that the whole
uprising had taken place without his

Ouray's Triumph.
He filled the air with protestations
of his good will toward everybody in
general and Merritt in particular. He
assured the officers that Meeker's
slayers should be given up to justice,
and made glittering promises for his
tribes future good behavior. The up
shot of the matter was that Ouray's
fervent pledges and declarations won
the day.
But Ouray's diplomacy carried all
before it. The murderers Of Meeker
and the assailants of Thornburgh's
force escaped unpublished. The wise
old chieftain lived only few months
after scoring his diplomatic victory.
He died on Los Pinos Agency, Colo.

This Is the story of savage chief

who, at the cost of his own life,.
avenged the evil wreaked by the white
men upon his father.
Miantonomoh, &C an earlier article

to be known as the white mans friend.
He gave pledges of loyalty to the
New England colonists and trusted the

flattered and made much Of, even as

English had given Miantonomoh a

with silver. And they managed, as in
Miantonomoh's case, to induce him
to sign a treaty that was favorable to
the colonies. In fact, he appeared to

low Babylon. Here he sent for wife
for his son, and Rebecca's we'll is
favorite place of resort for pious Mos
lens. Its genuineness is quite prob
able, considering the unquestioned
antiquity of many wells in Asia.
An American Woman's Fame.
Looming larger than even Father
Abraham in modern Urfa is Miss Shat
tuck, a missionary of the American
board, who spent about thirty years
of her life here, until her death last
spring. Miss Shattuck was an ex-
traordinary instance of how an Ameri-
can woman Of force can carve out a
unique career for herself in foreign
land. Her name is easily the best
known in the city, and all the varied
work of the American mission still
goes by it. She was the head Of the
municipal school board, as we'll as the
manager of series Of industrial
schools maintained by the mission,
and an elaborate system of home In
dustries by Armenian women who had
lost their husbands in the 1896 massa-
ere. She also ran an orphanage and
a blind school, and did direct mission
airy work besides.
For the past twenty years this Spar
tan Massachusetts woman did her
work with only one lung. Yet she
spared herself no rigors. She slept on
a native bed in her Office. and lived
mostly on native food. When travel
ing she would share her fare with the
muleteers. She has been known to
drop all her work, in order to nurse
a native boy through the crisis Of the
smallpox. Still, she had plenty OF dig
nifty when occasion called for It. A
missionary who was visiting her want
ed to go to Rebecca's Well, but the
governor refused, out Of pure Cussed-
ness, to send the escort of soldiers to
which foreigners are entitled when
travelling in dangerous parts Of the
empire. Miss Shattuck, with flashing
eyes, put on her hat and coat and
marched straight into the mutasarif's
presence, when he was holding coun-
Gil. In vigorous Turkish, she de-
manded an explanation of the insult
to her guest. In true oriental fashion,
the governor blamed it all on the mill
tary official, cursing the latter, and
splitting in his face, In the presence of
the other counsellors!
Withal, Miss Shattuck was only a
woman, and in Turkey, where women
have no standing. The recent massa-
ere of Armenians broke her heart, and
fastened her death. She cried over
it almost continuously, after the news
reached her.
Armenians and Revolution.
There are those in this part of the
world who bluntly say that the Armeni-
ans are not worth any such sacrifice
as Miss Shattuck and host Of other
American missionaries have made for
them. Up here, on the edge of the an
cient kingdom of Armenia, the Ar
merriam is a perennial question. He is
nimble witted-far more so than Any
of his Interchangeable and
prosperous. He gets along better
than the Turk or the Kurd or the Jew.

and covered like a prairie schooner.
Without baggage, or If content to go
at an araba's pace, one may ride
horseback. The nights are spent in
khans, and these afford no accommo-
dation except the shelter of a bare
room, without bed, table or chair. The
foreigner, If he arrives early enough,
can generally secure a room to him
self, such as it IS, and not reckoning
the ever-present vermin.
Some of the roads are fair; some
stretches are worse than the worst
America knows. Most of the traffic
Is by donkey and camel caravans, and
these patient beasts, with their deep
sounding and musical bells, bearing
great loads of hemp and grain, may
be passed at all hours of the day and
night. They travel in companies, for
mutual protection. Foreigners are ex-
pected to have an escort OF one or
more zeptiehs, or soldiers, but these
unkempt fellows are nuisance, and
mere petty grafters. No American
would count much on the protection
OF one of them. A zeptieh of mine
dropped his rife in the road and a
wagon ran over it! He wanted me to
buy him new one.
One of the most picturesque of the
ruins on the way here is at Membij,
the old Bembigie, from which bomba-
zine cloth takes its name. The Ro-
mans called the city Metropolis. The
abundant memorials of ancient great
ness are now used to make houses and
fences; columns, cornices, capitals, in
scriptions and great cut blocks of
marble are all employed in the miser-
able buildings Of the present resi-
dents. The reason for the fences, in
the fenceless east, is that the govern
ment has settled a colony of Moslem
Circassians here, and they represent
type Of European ways, as contrast
ed with Oriental.

This region In the past has been
famous for its lawlessness. Here it
was that David Fraser, London Jour-
nalist, was shot by an Arab, a short
