Norwich bulletin., 1916-07-14

Last of the MoheganS as they styled themselves, all prominent business and professional men of the city laid aside their cares on Thursday to at- tend the Pow Wow and Peace Council at Webster Lake, or as the Indians would say, Lake Chargogg gagoggman- chaugagoggchau haubunaSunSamaug They smoked the pipe of peace on the neu- tral meeting ground, the boundary fishing place, with the Pequots of New London the Quinebaugs of Dan ielson: the Wabaquassets of Putnam; the WillimantiCs of the west; the SexeXets of Southbridge; the Nip mucks of Webster; and braves from all the tribes Of Connecticut.
 The squaws remained at home to watch the WigWam and the papOose, while the Braves laid aside the toma- hawk and war paint and gathered for the day at the Pow Wow with the SaChems of their tribes. One Norwich Brave on Thursday night character ized the outing and the bake as the best ever and he said he could with confidence add that he voiced the opinion of the rest of the MOhegans.
 Right here a word of explanation is needed for the affair was the annual outing of the Eastern Connecticut Development Committee, representing the Chamber of Commerce of New London, Norwich, Danielson, WilH- mantle and Putnam. The outing was u1feCIeu py the 6uLlaLu ana tue w GD- Ster-Dudley Chambers of Commerce and the lake is on the line between Massachusetts and Connecticut.
 It was rather unfortunate that it rained but of course no committee however large or efficient can control the god of rain, thunder and lightning.
 The New London Delegation.
 The New London delegation, 80 strong, left that city at o'clock, ar riging here about 8.30 o'clock. They were transported in automobiles gayly decked with banners bearing the in scriptiOns New LOndOners" and ''Pe- quots."
 The gathering included city off CiaIs and prominent business men and before embarking each and everyone decorated himself with Indian head gear, with features of red, green, orange and blue. The effect was, to say the least, unique, and was well calculated to staTtle the natives along the line of travel.

Willimantic sent a goodly dog en of fine looking cars and several SOuthbridge cars added to the number in line. The Putnam delegation was conspicuous in the parade and its members gave ready cooperation in the matter of all arrangements for the outing.
 As the fine passed up Main street, Webster, rain began to sprinkle and clouds gave threatening indications for the afternoon. Everyone appeared in a jolly mood and no thought was given to weather conditions.
 The Webster-Dudle members in automobiles decorated with banners met the visiting delegations on West Main street in Webster. The machines were lined up beside the street and a rousing cheer went up as the machines hove in sight. Deputy Sheriff Gilbert Osborne acted as chief marshal and
