Destruction Of Sank City 1856 Years
Ago Reproduced as First Night
Spectacle of Centennial.

RED MEN IN PROMINENT ROLE

Ten thousand people saw, last even
ing, the spectacle representing the
burning of the Indian village of Sank
City, then located on Rock river within
the present limits of the city of Rock
Island. The exhibition took place in
the open field north OF the main ave
nue. on the island and in front of the
grand stand Several hundred mem
0erS of the Red Men of Davenport and
the ladies' auxiliary of that organiza-
ton presented the spectacle in an eff
fective manner, militiamen from the
three cities taking part of the whites
in the attack and the destruction of
the village.
1t was in 1880, 1876 years ago and
during the latter part of the RevOlu-
tionary war that the first military ex-
petition visited these parts and nat
urally it was a rather ambitious under
taking to bridge the gap of years and
reproduce the scenes approximately as
then enacted. Yet it was done sue
cessfully.
Sank City is supposed to have been
established by the Sank and Fox In
dams early in the eighteenth century.
1t was one of the largest settlements CT
the red men and was the home of
Black Hawk at the time the whites
made their first settlement here. In
the Revolutionary war Colonel George
Rogers Clark. commissioned by the
commonwealth of Virginia, led an ex-
petition west as far as southern ILL

nois, already claimed as territory OF
the colonies. Learning that the In
dians hereaboutS were prO-BritlSh in
their sympathies he determined to
teach them a lesson. So he dispatched
smaller party of his soldiers in
charge of Colonel John Montgomery
for the purpose of finding and destroy
ing the red mems settlement. This
force approached Sank City from the
southwest. The braves gave battle
briefly and then fed and the whites de-
stroyed the village, which was never
completely rebuilt
Stage Well Set.
The stage was we'll set last evening
for the reproduction of the fight and
the burning of the homes of the In
dians. Temporary structures resem-
bling log hutS and tepees and tents
had been built a block north of the
main avenue in front of the grand
stand, leaving a large open space IN
front for the maneuvers. Searchllghts,
placed in the tops of trees and
screened from the audience by the
foliage, played upon the village and
its inhabitants as they went about
their occupations.
At the opening of the spectacle the
Indians were disclosed grouped about
in front of their village There were
fires on the lawn around which the
braves counciled while the women and
pappooses INDUCED in what were sup
posed to have been the amusements of
the primitive red man. There were
songs and dances in which all took
part as darkness closed over the scene.
Then the women and children with
drew to their homes, while the braves
continued their council and laid plans
for big hunt.
Finally, the male members of the
community, their arrangements COM
pleted and their weapons in hand, rose,
cirCled the fire two or three times and
departed, leaving only few of the old
men to guard the weaker members Of
the tribe. No sooner were the war
riors enyeloped in darkness at the east
side of the village than a shot rang
out at the west and in a moment the
battle was on. The Indians came rush
ing back to defend their homes and the
whites closed in on them. There was
a sharp rattle of musketry and clouds
of smoke from the powder hung low
over the land obscuring the details Of
the struggle. Now and then a white
man or a warrior would be seen to reel
and fall.
At last the Indians began to break
ground and eventually they fed, leav
ing the white man in possession.
Torches were then applied to the huts
and tents and while the fire ragged the
voice OF an Indian prophet rose pro-
claiming the early close OF the supre
macy of the red man and the approach
of the day when the white would rule.
Real Indians Score.
A band concert preceded the depict
ing of the Indian scenes and while
the latter were on party OF score Of
real red men, visitors here for the
week from the Iowa and Kansas reser-
vations, took the field during a lull
and to the accompaniment of bells and
brass drum, performed few evolu-
tons of their own, much to the delight
of the audience.
It was the first opportunity given
the public to see the scene OF the main
events OF the centennial celebration

Peking, Nov. 28.-General Chang
Hsun is the man of the hour in
China.
Members of all parties and fac
lions are keeping their eyes on the
rugged old warrior, who has control
Of the railway connecting Shanghai
with Picking, and holds the most i'm
portant strategic position in China.
Chang Hsun is the military gov
ernor of Anhwei province, and is
supposed to live in that province
together with his powerful army
But Anhwei province is not located
along the important north and south
railway connecting Picking and
Shanghai. Consequently General
Chang Hsun has moved his forces to
Hsuchowfu, in Kaingsu province,
where he commands the railway and
holds a powerful club over the head
of the Peking government, as well
as over the various factions which
are endeavoring to upset the present
government.
Many prominent Chinese who de-
sire to travel from South China and
Shanghai to Picking are compelled
to make the trip from Shanghai to
Tien-tsin by sea, as they dare not
pass through Hsuchowfu and run

the risk of falling into Chang Hsuns
hands.
The conference OF military lead
ers, which General Chang Hsun re-
Gently held at Hsuchowfu, created a
great hubbub in political circles.
This meeting was called for the pur-
pose of forestalling action on the
part of the parliamentarians unfav-
CRADLE to the military, and was a
vital factor in preventing Tang
Shao-yi's acceptance of the ministry
of foreign affairs The conference
adopted resolutions against the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Tang Shao-yi, and
also resolved against the endorse
ment of the present minister of JUS
tice. Mr.. Chang Yao-tseng. Parlia-
mentarians rallied against the
Hsuchowfu conference, and have
adopted resolutions denunciatory Of
General Chang Hsun and his asso-
ciates, but the intrepid old warrior
has not been moved by any such ac-
tion and sternly refused to return to
his post in Anhwei province.
Demands have been made by the
press and public for the punishment
of General Chang Hsun. He has been
denounced as military tyrant, who
is defying all organized authority in
China. However, the government is
apparently powerlehh to drive him
out OF his important position. A
policy of reconciliatin has been
adopted, and he is mentioned as a
probable candidate for the vice pres,
idency.
| 1t is unlikely, however, that he
would accept the office of vice pres
ident, were it offered him on condi-
tion that he comes to Peking. He is
more powerful at Hsuchcwfu than
any other man in China, and has
shown no disposition to yield this
advantage.
General Chang Hsun is an old
time Chinese VIII has been promi-
nent in military affairs for many
years. He first came into promi-
nence in Szechuen province, and was
later ommander-in-chief in Kansu
province. In 1911 he was com

lutionary forces, and made a master.

forces. He waged war in a barbar
GUS manner, but won great admira
'tion from military men by the won
derful discipline he maintained
among his troops and the effectiv,
manner in which he policed the rail
way. His support of the crumplin,
Manchu dynasty was very effective
and after the republic was estab
lished it was necessary for the PEEK
ing government to reconcile him b,
giving him important posts. He ha
stoutly refused to- accept any ap
pointment which would carry hin
away from the railway which is tn
life blood Of China, and is building
up a great army which is loyal t
him rather than to the central gov

holders. This association is now a
year old; has collected and loaned
nearly $4,000, which has all gone in
to new Jefferson homes on conserva-
tive loans, and the statement shows
that it has earned 10 per cent for the
stockholders. Denison should have
such an association. 1t is a fine place
for folks on salary to put their
money and have it working for them
all the time and likewise an excellent
agency for assisting those who want
to secure homes of their own to &C
quire them on the monthly payment
plan. Here in Denison where upward
of fifty houses we're built during the
past year there would be great op-
portunity for building and loan asso-
citation. Denison capitalists might
