Usage tribes would start on theil
hunt about the first of May every
year and travelling south through
the southern part Of Missouri and all
over Arkansas and return in Sep
TENDER or in Indian summer.
A few of the young warriors were
left behind in camp to look after
what personal property was owned
by the tribes and to protect the chill
dren, pappooses and squaws.
In these camps many love affair
has proved its origin and a few Indian
maidens have been courted by some
of the young buck of the other tribes
and herein lis where) many of their
minor difficulties arose which, when
ripened into a final strife, caused
numerous, mysterious deaths, the
victims being found with an arrow
thrust into his or her heart, which
ever 1t might be.
With this short history of the Usage
Indians as connected with our own
country and adjoining Vernon coun-
ty, will undertake to weave a love
story about this notorious spot and
among the greatest tribe Of Indians
as far as character and physique, as
has ever been known and in so doing,
twill be necessary for me to go back
a hundred years and in person go
among them and land with the mis-
sionaries, be with them, take part in
all the affairs except the clerical and
just see how brave a coward could
be, and show you that the Indians are
not the only people who are fleet of
foot, and if you look across the hill
and see young buck in pursuit of
my personal property, or in short,
myself, you will see me in front of
him about three hundred years max
ing some more tracks for him to fol-
low.

COYNE ELECTED. TO
 INDEX LAND RECORDS

Two years ago Republican spell binders were telling the voters of Bridgeport that the indexing of the land records should be done by a clerk in. the town clerks office, but last night the Common Council with the sanction of Mayor Wilson, named Robert F. Coyne to index 271 to 28O of the land records and to receive a compensation of $500.
 A report was received from the paw ing and sewer commission stating that the permanent paving on Park avenue has been completed at a cost of $34,- 461.21. The report was referred to the board of appraisal of benefits and dam ages for the assessment of benefits and 1 damages to the property owners. City Auditor Keating reported that he had honored the levy for the Ma tional Guard tax which in Bridgeport this year amounts to ST, ,539.59. Permission was granted the Con- l necticut Breweries Go. to lay a spur track in Housatonic avenue and it was voted to refer the matter to the Pub lie Utilities commission for it's permis- sion.,
 Reports were received from the com mittee on sewers ordering sewer wells in Maplewood and Wood avenues con- neeted with Maplewoodl avenue trunk sewer.
 And of special committee on layout of Cornwall street; of special commit tee on layout of building line on Mon roe street; of special committee on Fairmount avenue building line.
 That each and every member of the Common Council was the finest little city official who ever came down the pike was what the members of that body told each other last night. It was the farewell gathering of the members of the council las it has been constituted. There was even reso- lution praising the newspaper men. Mayor Wilson in a. voice tremulous with emotion praised various retiring officials Eand they came back in like manner. The score or so of the faith fua who occupy the specta tor's gallery at every meeting of the council were set wondering as to how the city gov- ernment could be run when the pres ent officials pass out of office.
 Thomas F. C1eary, page of the Com mon Council, rendered his resignation to that body last night. MT. Cleary's s term of office would expire on Nov. 10. When asked why he was tender ing his resignation Page C1eary smiled rather enignatically and said Well the waves may be too high tomorrow
 The chic, long -be1ted, loose backed three quarter coats worn over hounced skirts give a somewhat vo1uminous proportion to the dainty wearer.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

Things that are good for your skin are all green vegetables, particularly spinach, onions, eschalots, eggs and nearly all fresh fruit.
 When baking pies, either fruit or meat, place the pie in a tin with little cold water. It will save the syrup or gravy from boiling out.
 A teaspoonfu1 of warm olive oil or camphorated oil poured into the ear and held there for few minutes will destroy the bug in the ear, and 1t will then easily pour out, bringing with it the dead insect.
 If for any reason the red bricks in your fireplace become discolored or have white spots on them, rub them full of 1inseed oil, giving them all they

Big Freighter In Crash With Iceberg
 Is Badly Crippled
Manchester Commerce Puts In to St. Johns, N. F., With Bow Crushed In.

1 St. Johns, N. F., Nov. 4-Listing heavily to port and with her bow crushed in as far as the forward bulkhead, as the result of a collision with an iceberg, the Firness Line
 freight steamer Manchester Commerce crept into the harbor, today. The Manchester Commerce, which was bound from Montreal for Man chester under command of Captain Couch, struck the berg head-on about 100 miles, east of Belle Isle, at 2 a. n. Sunday. The night was verp dark and the berg loomed out of the black ness so suddenly that there was no time to change the course of the steamer which crashed at full speed
 into the mountain of ice.
 The force of the impact was terrific
 The steel prov of the liner was crum- pied ID like piece of tin as far
 aft as the commission buIkhead and the decks were covered with fragments of ice from the berg.
 Captain Couch made a hasty sur vey of the damage, notified his agents | at Montreal of the accident and head ed for St. Johns.
 The sea was swept by a heavy
 storm and the steamer had a hard time making port. Torrents of water poured into the hold through the shattered bow and the pumps, aI- 1 though constantly in operation, could
 no more than hold their own against I the inrushing flood.
 The Manchester Commerce reached
 here in a peri1ous condition. Ship ping men declared that she was the
 worst iceberg wreck that had ever entered the harbor.
 The steamer carried about 5000 tons
 of general cargo which is believed to
 be undamaged. Her lower hold, above winch the water did not come, was
 filled with timber, while the grain
 flower and other foodstuffs were on the deck above.
 The repairs to the steamer will re- quire about two months. The Man chester Commerce carried a crew of about 40 officers and men. She is | built of iron and registers 5,363 tons gross.
