WAS ONCE VAST LAKE
WHERE CITY NOW IS
Geology Confirms the Truth
of an Old Indian Legend Of
Spokane Country.

SPOKANE. Wash. March "a
Geology and Indian legends have at
last found common ground. Recent
geological investigations tending to
prove that the present site of Spokane
orrse was the center Of a vast lake are
corroborated by traditions handed
down by local Indian tribes, accord
ing to Major r. d. Gwydir. who spent
many years among the natives Of this
section. The traditional story Of the
origin Of the local tribe was told to
the major by Chief his-tel-posum
of the lower spokanes. as follows:
Centuries ago. long before the
paleface was known on the American
continent, the present site of Spokane.
and the country for many days' travel
TO the east was an immense and beau
uful lake. Numerous wooded islands
rose from its surface, abounding with
game The lake swarmcd with fish.
Many well populated Indian villages
lay around the shores of the lake
'Onc summer morning the inhabi-
tants Were startled by rumhling and
shaking Of the earth The waters Of
the lake began rising and pitching
and soon the waves were running
mountain high. The flood threatened
TO engulf the entire country. To add
TO the terrors of the situation. the sun
was obscured 10y an eclipse and dark
ness enVeloped the scene The terror
strikon inhabitants fled to the hills
for safety.
The quaking of the earth contin-
ued for several days. and was fol
flowed by a rain of ashes SO heavy that
there was little difference between
day and night
This dowrpour continued for sew
eral weeks. The waters OF the lake
receded and dry land appeared where
once the waters rolled.
The remaining Indians died of
starvation by the thousands The
remnant which escaped followed the
course of the receding waters until
they arrived at what now is Spokane.
Here they established their first vii
lage near what is now the intersection
Of Broadway and Post streets"
The remnants Of that tribe still
dwell in Spokane and. tho their an
cient home is now a part of the city's
park system, they are permitted to
live there in their teepees unmolsted.

meet death by hanging tho execution
must take place in the district in
which the crime was committed. SO,
| in the event OF his conviction, Wau-
! looky Daugherty would be hanged at
| or near the Illinois district courthouse,
near the banks OF the Greenleaf creek,
either from the limb Of forest tree,
or upon n specially constructed gIbbet
As the time for the final trial Of the
defendant drew near the friends ana
the father Of the accused exhibited
such symptoms Of determination to
put the threat into effect that It was
thot best to place IA very strong guard
about the prisoner. SO the principal
chief OF the Cherokee nation Charles
Thompson, better known by his Indian
name Of Ochclata, was appealed to
and responded by requesting the dis
trict shcriffs Of Illinois, Tahlequah,
Flint. Gongsnake and COoweescoowee
10 furnish each about fifty men to
prevent any successful attempt being
made to rescue the prisoner. And
when at length the case was called for
trial the courthouse was surrounded
by heavily armed body Of some two
hundred and fifty men. all of them
crack shots and ready to fignt despcr-
ately upon the least provocation.
The sympathizers Of the prisoner,
seeing such q large and determined
force of men at hand were overawcd
and no demonstration was made by
them during the course of the trial.
tho had the jury brought in verdict
Of guilty II is quite probable that there
would have been a contest along the
banks Of the Grecnleaf creek that
would have left many a man dead
As II transpirod there was no one who
could identify the prisoner. Mrs. Low
cit. widow of the slain man, stated
that she was asleep wncn the as
sassins entered the room and recog-
nizcd none of them when she awoke
So Woulooky Daugherty was acquitted
and the large force OF guards en-
ployed for some days at heavy expense
was disbandcd ana its members re
turned To their homes Waulooky
went on his way rejoicing but soon
after fell dead when the bullet from
the weapon of an enemy entered a
vital spot. sending him speedily TO the
happy hunting grounds.
Sheriff Lovctt was brother Of the
noted William Lovett, himself for
some time sheriff Of the Illinois dis
trict and who on one occasion when
pursued and assaulted by large
crowd Of Creeks at "A political rally
turned upon his pursucrs and using
his weapon with deadly effect, shot
five OF them dead, wounded a number
Of others and made his escape. He
at later date was waylaid by band
OF assassins and shot to death not far
from the old courthouse near the
Grcenleaf creek, along whose banks
there have been enacted many a
bloody deed away back in the wild
and dangerous days of the middle

Physical Training in
Public Schools

Supt. Harris has compiled the
necessary information and made
arrangements whereby Physical
Training is to be systematically
t,ught in the public schools.
To any one having made the
least study of the problems OF
growing children and especially
of the welfare of the child at
school, this information will be
great news. Many parents have
seriously lament.d the lack Of
supervision Of play on the schoo
grounds, and the fact that al
play hereafter will be intelligent
" directed and personally at
tended by the teacher will bring
no small amount of qualification
to the community and it is
foregone conclusion that th'
good resulting will fully com
pensate for the energy ex
pended.
