| in the matter and he set about to
connect them with the Otoes. He
states that John T. Irving, in his in
teresting book, Indian Sketches"
refers to the uniform, and he is con-
WINGED that the coat was worn by
Iotan, chief of the Otoes. Irving
visited the Otoes in 1883 with United
States Commissioner H. T. Ellis
worth, on a treaty mission. The
book referred to was dated in 1885
and a copy is one of the priced vol.
umes Of the Byron Reed collection
in the Omaha Public library.
"Iotan" is pronounced as "Yutan."
The treaty Of 1883 with the Otoes
was made at Yutan, Neb. In 1885
the Otoes and Missouris came down
the river to the country between
La Platte and Papillion. 1t is
known that Iotan. as we'll as other
Indians, visited the soldiers then
stationed at Fort Atkinson, later
known as Fort Calhoun. 1t is there
fore not regarded as strange that
Iotan should have had an old army
uniform, because DOMINIC odds and
ends of personal adornment was one
of the best achievements of the In
dams. And with a few drinks OF
toddy under his skin, it may be
imagined that Iotan was quite an
imposing figure in his officers coat
and bells, beads and feathers.
Indians in Debauch.
In his book Irving relates thai
Iotan killed his brother. All oil
Irving's Indian stories are from per.
sonal experiences, interviews and OBJ
servations among the Otoes. His
writings have been accepted as au.
thoritative. The Otoes held a gen.
eral peace celebration. making as
much noise as was heard in Omaha
last Monday. Whisky was the only
beverage used. 1t was strictly a
Stag" affair, as the squaws were re.
quired to keep sober and look after
their liege lords when the latter be-
came helpless. Personal encounters
marked the occasion. In one oil
these encounters Iotan's nose was
bitten off by his brother. The loss

ing effect on Iotan. The brother
ran away. The more Iotan thought
it over, the more he became con-
WINGED that it was a mean thing for
his brother to have done. The next
morning the chief, realizing that he
had been dishgured for life, sought
his brother and said: Tonight
will 60 to my lodge and sleep. If
can forgive you when the sun rise:
you are safe; if not, you die" The
brother was notified during the next
morning that he was to be killed by
! Iotan, who advised the brother tc
make no resistance, but to die like
a warrior. The brother fled and
after wandering in the woods until
he grew worn and haggard, unex-
pectedly encountered Iotan, still bent
upon revenge. Hearing the curse
repeated by Iotan, the brother
opened his blanket and barred his
breast to the bullet which sent him
to his death. A few years after that
tragic event Iotan was appointed
chief Of the Otoes, and it is said that
he was supreme as chief while he
was the leader. He had FIVE wives
Adverting again to the old mission
house and the Otoes, reference may
be made to the diary which was
written by Rev. Moses Merrill in the
old building. The diary was pub
lished by the State Historical society
and has been frequently referred te
Omaha daily bee., 1918-11-17

by those who are interested in Ne
braska history. This minister's
death was fastened by his arduous
labors among the Otoes. He joined
them on their hunts and no white
man was held in higher esteem by
them.
Falsehoods of Chiefs.
Under date of May Ia, 1884, Rev.
Mr.. Merrill wrote in his diary as fol-
lows: Before the rising of the sun
heard the noise of an intoxicated
Indian. Upon inquiry for the whisky,
| was informed that 1tan 0rving
spelled it Iotan), had obtained some
of it in exchange for a horse. In a
few minutes l saw Itan and the next
chief in rank walking together in a
state of intoxication. Thus, false are
these professions of temperance, !
have seen similar instances of false
hoods in other chiefs. What else
can be expected of the Indian at
large? Itan had too much respect
for me to make his house the scene
Of rioting. He resorted to the house
of brother. At II o'clock 1tar and
the second chief came into the lodge
in company, both intoxicated. Itan
had much to say of whisky and
spoke with great earnestness, ad-
dressing himself to me. He said it
was bad-that the Indians did not
make it. He now cursed the Ameri-
cans for making whisky. Then l
went away. After having ridden 20
miles l looked back, and to my sur
prise, saw the second chief, who had
witnessed my retreat. He beckoned
me to return. l told him felt very
bad. He said that whisky was very
bad-that he had none. His chief
object seemed to be to conciliate my
feelings. He was but partially in
toxicated."
His diary Of March u, 1885, notes
that a shipment of II barrels Of
whisky or alcohol arrived at
Bellevue.
Under date Of May IL, 1884, the
diary reads: Read the creation
and prayers to those in Chief Itan's
lodge. Was invited with Itan to
take breakfast with one Of his wives.
He has FIVE wives; two only live in
his own lod ge; the others have
lodges of their own, to which they
often invite the chief to eat with
them. The Indians are extravagant
eaters. II il now planting time.
The men lie upon their touches and
sit upon the ground and smoke
their pipes all day long, while the
women go from half a mile to two
miles to plant their corn, often, too.
carrying baby with them. They are
also required to bring their own
wood and water, which are half q
mile distant. My heart is panied to
see the tasks imposed upon these
women. At evening was invited out
to eat with another OF Itan's wives,
in company with the chief. She is
not more than Is years Of age, while
he is more than 50. This feast $50

Mission Purchase Fails.
A few years ago an effort was
made to raise money for the pur-
chase of acreage around the old mis-
sion and preserve the place for its
historical value, but the project was
abandoned.
The name "Papillion" means but
terAy and it is believed that Papil-
lion creek was so named on account
of many butterflies observed there
Omaha daily bee., 1918-11-17

bv the early settlers, This creek
formerly was known as Butterfly
creek" 1t is possible, however,
that the seat of Sarpy county was
named for John B. Papillion, a St.
Louis fur trader. In the original
county division of the state the pres
ent area of Sarpy county was a part
of Douglas county, the name of
Sarpy being adopted on February /,
1857.
Mrs. John B. Chase of Papillion
settled in the county in 1856 on a
farm which still remains in the
family name. She is related to Hi
ram Chase, the Indian lawyer of
Fender, Neb. She stated that Hen
ny Fontenelle, brother of Chief
Logan Fontenelle, occasionally Wis
tied the Chase home and she re-
ferred to Henry as having been
a man of strong personality, stately
and of good manners. Mrs. Chase
told of the Indian scares which
caused the settlers to mobilize at
Saling's grove when runners would
notify them of impending danger.
On one of these occasions Indians
stole 20 head OF cattle near the
mouth of the Platte.

Men Painfully Burned

The Boston & Maine railroad station
at Westmoreland was burned Friday

ont slammed the door which had a
spring lock
In alamming the door, evidently a
lamp tipped over and exploded. The
man ran for help ON discovering the
fire, it is stated, and meanwhile. all
the records, stamps. tickets and other
valuables III the office were burned.

George Laventure, who live nearby ano
are employed on the section. made an
attempt to get things ont Of the sta
ton and freight section. They got
most Of the freight out when can q

and hands and were taken to the kllio
/ City hospital in Keene on a specia

II was stated that but for the snow ii
which they were rolled, putting gu
