According to statement by Man

will be greatly disappointed if the
rejuvenated Indians do not make a

placing himself in an exceedingly bad

make big effort to keep Keokuk out

All the clubs in the league have
greatly strengthened their personnel

sport writer in the league admits,
Manush has picked the club that
looks best on paper. The laurels also
belong to George for getting them to-

FEATHERWEIGHTS TO
BATTLE TONIGHT
kiIbane's Title AZ Champion May b
Taken by Dundee In Twenty
Rounds.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
Los ANGELES. April 39.-What
many expect to be the hardest fight OF
Featherweight Champion Johnny Kill
bane's career will be staged at Uncle
Tom McCarey's Vernon arena to-
night when the Cleveland titleholder
clashes with Johnny Dundee in a 90
round battle. With both lads down to
weight and in perfect condition ter
rife slam-bang bout is expected.
Neither has done any real training
work for two days, having finished
that Sunday. Since then, the boys
have done only enough work to keep
at weight. Kilbane was under the re-
CURED 122 pounds when he began to
ease on, SO that he will have no DIFF
ficulty at all. Dundee was 1913 pounds
Yesterday and was slightly over 122
this morning.
Although Kilbane is a two to one
favorite in the betting. and is gener-
ally expected to win it Is conceded
that his task will not be easy. Dun
dee has what has been described as an
awkward style of boxing which is
hard for his opponent to fathom. He
seldom fights two bouts alike and for
that reason many think Kilbane's
recent boxing with Cal Delaney, when
the latter attempted to initiate the
Italians blows and methods, will not
do Johnny much good
Dundee is supremely confident and
insists that he expects to be feather
weight champion of the world before
midnight Not only that but he de-
clares he will win by knockout
Test was added to the affair today
when Promoter McCarey promised the
!: two boys that he would match the
winner for battle with Mexican Joe
Rivers at Vernon on July 4.

OLD TIMES IN IOWA
Chief Keokuk

and the hostile Sioux Indians, who
we're his enemies. when fractional
feelings ran high between the parties.
The Sioux accused Keokuk of bad
faith, and declared they could not de
pend on treating with him any more
than with the boy. his son, at his feet;
that the ears of his people had to be
picked with sticks. The speeches are
said to have been bitter on both sides
and the secretary. Mr.. Poinsett, by a
conciliatory speech. which bore little
weight with the bitter factions, tried
to make peace between them.
Keokuk in his great speech which,
we are told. was interpreted at the
end Of each sentence, in reply told
the Sioux chiefs that wnen his people
had invaded the country of the Sioux
they had shown themselves men. and
they had taken many scalps, ann
could give the times and places where
they took them, and that the heads Of
the Sioux wanted to be bored with
hot irons.
At this famous conference the Sioux
and other Indians, except Keokuk and
his party, were dressed with blue
coats and brass buttons. their cloth
ing being presented to them, and are
thus painted. Keokuk was dressed
in the wariike garb of an Indian chief
and his chiefs according to their rank

If there are differences OF opinion
in these days in Keokuk, 1t should
not be regarded as fact to marvel
at, especially In this community. II
was born that way even in, the far
off days of Indian times there were
divisions among the red men, and
Black Hawk and Keokuk were rivals
among the aborigines of those days.
There was a difference between them
as to the policy to be pursued toward
the white squatters who came to this
far western country to make their
homes right in the midst of the red
men. There was pace party and a
hostile party which firmly opposed
the insane counsels OF Black Hawk
who thirsted for revenge by war up
on the whites. Keokuk was friend
OF the whites and the best authorities
say he was cool and collected, with
the far-seeing gifts of the statesman
and diplomat; he negotiated difficult
treaties with much Judgment and skill
evincing rare talent and perception
of the savage characters with whom
he had to deal. He left the reputa-
ton of being graceful and eloquent in
public speaking and energetic, express
sive and animated in conversation.
His flow of language and rapidity OF
utterance is said to have bee remark

fire into the helpless villages and
towns all along the shore. When the
situation became too severe, Captain
Daniel Dobbins rode on horseback to
Washington where he asked for an
appropriation to provide fleet for
the lakes. 1t was only after eloquent
pleading that the money was allowed
and the work of building the fleet be-
gun.
Then Commander Perry. dashing
young naval officer from Rhode Island,
was sent to take command. A mule
train load of powder was sent from
Wilmington, Del, to the fleet which
made history. That same train of
wagons which carried the powder 100
years ago already has left Wilmington
with powder to be used in the coming
celebration.
Following a week of fireworks and
military maneuyers, the famous old
