Of cotton made and it was difficult to
have it gathered. Good, the foreman
was very friendly with the Creek In
dians. At that time it was unlawful
for the Indians to cross the Chatta-

Good was in the habit of employing the
Creek Indians who would cross tha
river in their boats and assist in gath

in corn. Whenever they heard noise

and cross to their territory. 1t be-

Black Hawk. Name Selected For
Davenport's Fine New Hotel

The Black Hawk, which has been Sc
lected as the name for Davenport's
magnificent new hotel to be erected by
the Lane-Walsh-Shuler interests on the
northeast corner of Third and Perry
streets at a cost of 100000, is a
mos: appropriate one. Chief. Black
Hawk and his tribe of redskins played
an important part in the early history
of this community. Aside from its his
torical value. the name stands out dis
tinct and will be readily remembered
by the travelling public.
Black Hawk, chief Of the Sac In
dians, was born at the Sac village of
KaskaskiG, ILL.,, on Rock river, in 1867,
and died near Fort Des Moines, Oct.
3, 1888. He was made chief Of the
Sacs in 1883, and in 1904 repudiated
the first agreement made by the Sacs
and Foxes with the United States 10
give up their lands east of the Mis-
sissippi. The possession Of the ter
ritory was disputed for a number Of
/ years. In 1923 the majority of the
! two tribes moved across the river, and
a treaty with the United States, ced
| ing the disputed territory, was signed
! in 1880. Black Hawk, however, OBJ
