CROSSED RIVER
WITH INDIANS
George Legs of Lewistown, Mo-, Who
is Visiting Here Recalls Inter-
esting "Reminiscences of
Long Ago.
DURING HIGH WATER
Indians Showed Mr.. Legg Rock with
Picture Writing Which Told
About Floods In 1923 on
This River.

A trip across the Mississippi river
in an old fashioned steamboat sixty
five years ago with band of thirty
Indians is something that most people
around here cannot boast of, but it
is happy "Reminiscences of George
Legg of Lewistown, Mo-, who is IN
Keokuk today visiting HIS grand
daughter Mrs. Thomas Boltz.
Mr.. Legg has never lived in Keo-
kuk, but has often been in this vicfn-
ity on business and pleasure trips
and the one he told his friends about
today concerning the boat ride from
Alexandria to Warsaw IN the carry
fifties is one of his most interesting
ones. The thirty Indians were going
to Nauvoo to do some trading there,
and they had with them their chief
whom Mr.. Leggs thinks was the
chief, following Chief keokuk who
had died a short time before. The
Indians at least were those from
Keokuk.
The boat which was to take Mr..
ILegg and the Indians across the
river was three hours late in COM
ing to the Missouri shore, and during
their long wait on its banks, the
Indians endeavored to talk to Mr..
iLegg and his white companions, who
were with him, through an inter-
prefer. 1t was in the spring of the
year when the river was quite high,
and the men were all discussing this
topic. One old Indian caught the
gist of the conversation, and told the
white men that the river had been
much higher in the spring of 1928,
and that he would prove it.
The old red man and two of the
white men secured a skiff and the
three of them rowed to the other
shore, below Warsaw until they came
to a large rock which had the date
on it in Indian picture language,
with the information as 10 the height
of the father of waters" in 1928,
and sure enough it was six feet
higher then than it was in the spring
of so when Mr.. Legg and the In
dams crossed the river together.
This was just one OF the interest
ing things Mr.. Legg had to tell his
friends this afternoon about the early
days. He will be eighty-five years
old next Tuesday, but he is still hale
and hearty.
