EllskwataWa

A townful of Shawnee Indians, clad the death-dirge about great wigwam one day in 1925. In the wigwam lay hideous, one-eyed man. whose name had long been known and hated by every white settler in the west. He was Ellskwatawa. the Prophet, brother of the famous Tecumseh and deadly foe to the United States gov ernment
 few days before this scene of noisy mourning the fifty-year-old prophet had been in the act of light ing his pipe when he sank to ths ground, lifeless. His followers had been horror-struck For they had deemed him immortal His death meant the loss of their wisest, most powerful leader. They laid the body in state upon a pile of furs in the wigwam and began the death dance. When the dancing and feasting were ended the tribe marched in sad pro- cession to the prophets bier to carry him to his grave. AS they neared the pile of furs tbe silent figure upon it suddenly sat up
 A Weird "MiracIe."
 T have been in Paradise for three days" calmly remarked the supposed. ly dead prophet, as his frightened tribe-folk shrunk back in horror "I have talked face to face with the Great Spirit and have brought you message from him. Call the nation to- gether that l may impart the tidings to all"
 When the awed nation" had as- sembled the prophet proceeded to de- liver his message" which included a command that the Shawnees cease from lying, stealing and drunkenness, and which in various points strength ened the prophets authority over them This was but one of many sim liar tricks by which the one-eyed genius held his peoples allegiance and reused them to a frenzy of loy- atty toward himself
 The prophet led a strange, adven- turous life, many of whose incidents can scarcely be explained by natural causes, As brother of the mighty Tecumseh. he won war fame and wealth. He helped Tecumseh by over awing the Indians with miracles. Be- tween them the brothers swayed near ly all the western tribes In 1908 the prophet secured a large tract of land where the Tippecanoe and Wabash rivers join, and he rallied to his stand ard more than a thousand braves of

Tammany-Indian war chief. saga more. sachem and friend of the white man-is best remembered today by the society that bears his name. But he was famous century before Tam many Hall was built.
 Historians were few and amateur romancers were many in the Pennsyl- vania wilderness of olden times. So for one true story of the great Tam many there are 20 fanciful legends. And oftentimes 1t is hard to separate fact from fancy in telling of the old sagamore's career.
 Tammny was ruler of the Delaware Indians early in the seventeenth cen tury and was leader of the Lenni-Len- nape confederation of New York and Pennsylvania tribes which in those days waged eternal warfare against the fierce "Six Nations" and the say ages who lived on and around Manhat- tan island. He was king. rather than a chief, and ruled his wide domain wisely. In various native dialects he is called Tamenand, Temane. Tam tnent and Tammany. His huge pal ace-wigwam'' is reported to have stood upon the site of Princeton college.
 Welcomed William Penn.
 When William Penn and his fellow Quakers landed in Pennsylvania. with a charter to settle that region. it was Tammany, according to most accounts. who first greeted the great English man and who made him and his com panions welcome guests of his ma tton." Tammany it was who smoothed the way for the newcomers and ln- duced the neighboring tribes to receive them peacefully. He is said to have been party to Penn's celebrated treaty with the natives, and to have cemented so close friendship be- tween Quakers and red men that, while English-Indian wars waged con- stantly in nearly all the other colon les, Pennsylvania was immune from bloodshed
 So mighty was Tammany and so deeply revered that his tribesmen in later years were wont to bestow his name upon any person on whom they wished to confer special honor The Indians looked on him as a sort of god

Yet, despite all this. he governed so badly that soon all but 300 of his men de serted. Nothing but Tecumseh's aid prevented the remainder of the band from scattering.
 But even Tecumseh could not save his brothers land For in 1909 the government, through Gen. W. H. liar rison, bought from the Indians a huge tract of territory that included all the prophets domains. Tecumseh sought In vain to combat this purchase. Fail ing, the two brothers set to work com. b1ning all the western tribes into a league to destroy the white men.
 The climax was reached at the bat tie of Tippecanoe. in November. 1911. Tecumseh had gone southward to en- list new tribes for the league In his absence the prophet was keeping the local Indians in fever heat of war like fury. Harrison, with 800 soldiers (mostly militia) marched to Terre Haute and thence sent a declaration to the prophet The messengers were insulted and driven back.

On this he lived comfortably in Can ada until 1926. surrounded by a band of his admiring tribesmen Then he came back to the United States and settled to the west of the Mississippi.

Tammany knew that if the Evil Spirit" should once establish a home in Pennsylvania the justice and kindly feeling that had been so care must give place to strife and sin.
