pIILSAKI'S ROMANCE
by H. Louis Gardner)
Especial Correspondent to the
"Pulaskian.")

There is an old tradition at Natural
steps. which if true, much wealth is
IN store for the lucky one who may
un-ravel the dilemma.
The tradition, or romance, dates
hack to the time the Spanish were
touring North America in their mad
and eager and not very successful
search for gold. A certain tribe of
Indians that inhabited Arkansas at
that time were very wealthy with
great stores of Indian handmade
iewelry, carved from pure gold, also a
vast amount of precious and semi
nrecious stones, mined by the Indians,
and used by them as the chieftians
ornamental property.
The Indians, as the tradition goes,
were encamped on the bank of the
Arkansas river, at place where the
first rock was seen on the bank of
the river in coming up from the
4Father of Waters" (The present

two miles south of the Arkansas river.
A small island was found in Little
Maumelle creek west of Pinnacle
mountain. Flat stones forming tri-
angle on the island were found also.
Extensive excavations were made
at the time, but nothing of value
found.
Whether the elements of two cen
turies, or more, had erased the marks
made by the Indians upon the stones,
or those excavating failed to go to a
proper depth to unearth the cache, or
the tradition, or yarn, is merely a
fable concocted by some Indians
imaginative brain is question that
may never be answered.

Spanish, killing all, who the Indians
thought were pursuing them.
Unfortunately for them larger
body of Spanish were bringing up
the rear of those that were killed.
They easily succeeded in annihilating
what the Spanish thought were the
entire tribe. But as the yarn goes,
one of the braves escaped death, who
after several days hard travel to the
west made his way to a friendly
tribe. The lone Indian, who survived
the massacre, made drawing of the
location of the buried valuables, from
memory, and was handed down from
one generation to another of the
friendly tribe.
About 1896-an Indian squaw from
an Indian reservation located in the
northern part of Arizona, came to
Natural Steps, having in her posses
sion a crude drawing, which she
claimed was the original one made
by the surviving Indian of the battle
with the Spanish two hundred years,
or more past.
The drawing and description of the
location of the cache was precisely
exact with the location of Pinnacle
mountain, two miles south of Natural
Steps, the only mountain peak that
is in view from Little Maumelle creek,
