LAST CHIEF OF THE
CHIPPEWAS PASSES.

William Owen, last chief of the
Chippewa tribe of Indians in this sec
ton, died at his home in Zeba We'd
nesday, after an illness extending
over the past six months.
Mr.. Owen was born at Whitefish
Point September 2, 1889, and came to
Zeba with his parents when he was
but three years of age. There he has
resided since, except for a few years
when he was employed at Michigan
me at the iron mine. He was ap-
pointed chief of the tribe thirty years
ago and since he has been at the head
of the band he has faithfully looked
after matters for the best interests of
his people. This section of the tribe
has had but three chiefs, they being
Charley Beneshea, Dan Asher and Mr.
Owen. In all probability a successor
will not be named.
Funeral services were held yester-
day morning at the Zeba M. E. church
Rev. Bickford officiating, interment
being in the Pinery cemetery.

SKANEE RED CROSS.

The Skanee Chapter of the Red

lected the evening of the Fourth
The occasion was a dancing party
following an entertainment by Dave
Picket, the negro impersonator. Mr..
Picket says he never closes program
without plea for the Red Cross.
Mr.. Hillyer, chairman Of the Bara-
ga County Chapter of the Red Cross,
was in Skanee last week and ex-
pressed desire to meet with the
Skanee branch in the near future in
order that he might express to them
his appreciation Of their activities in
Red Cross work. Mr.. Hillyer is es-
pecially impressed with the amount
of knitting done by the ladies Of Ska

incredible that the ladies had done so
much since last fall. Mrs. Roselle
has turned in fifty-one pairs Of socks
and four sweaters, while Mrs. Louisa
Londberg has made seventeen pairs Of
socks and number Of other articles.
The ladies are continually clamoring
for yarn and more yarn. The demand
for yarn is growing every day.

My Dear Mother:-
We have just returned from the
trenches and life out there was fine.
i would much rather have stayed out
there than would have come in. The
Germans have not much love for the
Americans and / do not blame them,
because / think they have more than
met their match now. The Ameri-
cans give them quite few surprises.
The weather has been fine and we
never had any rain.
Norman was not out with US this
time. l saw him few times and he
looked disappointed because he was
not out with us, but his eyes were
dancing with joy when he saw me and
he nearly squeezed my hand to pieces
when he shook hands with me.
do not know where we are going
or what we are going to do just now
and I have quit worrying about that
and leave it to Uncle Sam.
Will close now, hoping that you are
well.
