D. A. Magee. the first speaker at
the luncheon, gave brief sketch of
War Eagles life as the early pioneers
knew him, and declared that War
Eagle was always known as the white
mans friend. This might have been
caused, says Mr.. Magee. because Of
his friendly terms with them. Theo-
phile Brughier. an early resident and
the man who held the first title to
Riverside, married two of War Eagles
daughters. This, with many other in
cidents in War Eagles life, made him
friendly to the white man.
The association will commence work
just as soon as Mr. OGrany has turned
over the title Of the land to the ASSOC
citation. It is expected that Mr..
O'Grady will be, in, Sioux City some
time next week and that the deal will
be consummated at that time.
1t is the intention Of the associa-
ton that the title of the property be
decided to them and eventually to the
