Indian Trails In Sank

BY Dr.. F. D. HuIburt, Reedsburg

was cleared of trees and bush and
put under cultivation it was found to
be literally covered with stone ar
row heads. On very limited area
perhaps half bushel or more Of
arrow heads have already been picked
up. Stone skinning knives and spear
heads have also been found here, also
stone battle axes and grinding NOR
tars. Many broken or imperfectly fin
ished flintwOrks Of art have also been
found in this limited area indicating
that they were made on the spot.
One stone mortar was found quite
deeply buried beneath the surface
and some have thought that the in
habitants of this old village site, if
such it be, belonged to a prehistoric
race. Here arrow heads have been
found beneath the roots Of decayed
full grown oak trees, and others APP
pear to have been uncovered and ex-
posed to ivew by deep erosion Of the
surface Eoil, Indicating that many
years have passed since the village
was inhabited.
Migrated from Asia
It is thought by many that human
beings migrated to America from Asia,
and that America became inhabited
by man about the same time or lit
tie later than Europe. At any rate
it is quite generally believed that in
America man existed here, and saw
the retreating ice sheet of the last
glacial period This being the case,
try for many thousands of years.
savage tribes have peopled our coun-
The running of the modern Indian
trail through or over this spot is pro-
badly merely incidental and the date
Of occupation of this ancient tribal
village may be far back in theeremote
history of the past.
Near the Indian trail leading west
from Reedsburg, in cutting down the
high bank of earth for sidewalk in
front of the residence of o. r. Ryan,
on Main street (Reedsburg) the mus
ty skeletons of five human beings were
discovered lying side by side. In this
grave no stone implements were
found, but handmade copper beads
were present and were found near
the skull as if they had been worn
around the neck.
An Eagle Mound :,
Further on to the west on this same
Indian trail which extended up river
to La Vale and beyond, on the farm
of Lon Seeley, was found an effigy
mound several feet high and 80 or
100 feet in length, in the form OF an
eagle with extended wings. This
mound was as much of mystery to
the Indians found here, as to the
whites Whether the trail and mound
were contemporaneous or merely IN
cidental is unknown.
1t is very difficult to determine the
age of the Indian trail and to ascer-
tain how long it has been in use.
The Indians led a nomadic life,
shifting their quarter from time to
time and doubtless with each change
in location were in great measure a
matter of reoccupation. One tribe
would shift it's abodes to territory
previously occupied by some other
tribe, and would again put into use
trails left by their predecessors.
These predecessors may likewise have
used the avenues Of travel left by
proceeding tribes and so on.
Trails between important points
may thus have been used and reused
for many generations.
The chronology of the beginning of
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1921-12-01

When Sank county. began to be
settled by the whites many Indians
trails were found. Some of these trails
were main thoroughfares or lines of
travel between important points,
widely separated, while others were
branches or minor trails connecting
various points in the domain of the
tribe. Sometimes the trails ran paral-
lei with the streams, sometimes they
coursed through the woods irrespec-
tive of the streams. There were also
many local trails through the woods
and swamps made 5y wild animals
such as deer and bear; these trails
or paths were often also used by the
natives. The Barboo river at Reeds
burg has rock bottom and was suffi-
GENTLY shallow to make this point
a good fOrding place, where the In
dams could easily cross the streams
without canoes, thus making it an i'm
portant place along the river. There
were several Indian trails leading to-
and extending from the point. A we'll
worn trail existed between Reedsburg
and Baraboo, and in an early day the
whites in going to BaraboO on foot
or on horseback, would frequently
take the Indian trail in preference
to the regular highway. Another trail
extended from the fording point at
Reedsburg, sOuthwards to the Indian
village and from that point continued
through Loganville so the divide on
on the Jonas Westenhaver farm in
the southern part Of the town of
Westfield, thence down what was long
known as Idnian hollow, into Honey
Creek and onward to Prairie du Sac.
There was also a much used trail
up stream from Reedsburg along the
south bank of the Baraboo river, lead
ing northwest to the present site of
La Vale, thence onward an unknown
distance.
Store in the Woods
In the early days white trader
maintained a small store in the woods,
in what is now the town Of Bear Creek
on an Indian trail which ran through
this township, and extended from La
Crosse to Milwaukee.
In his store he kept tea, coffee, SUI
gar liquor, calico, trinkets and to-
bacco for barter with the Indians,
who often made long journeys to dis
pose Of their furs. On their trips along
this trail the traders would intercept
them and buy as many of their furs
, as he could induce them to part with
! in exchange for his goods.
The Indian trunk lines Of travel also
, had many lateral branches. making
net work of paths and avenues.
/ When a settler took up land it was
not uncommon for him later to dis
cover that his farm had an Indian
, trail running across it, which was
more or less in use by the natives,
and which was a source of no little
worry on the part of the wife who
cherished no overfondness for Indians
at close range.
| Tt was soon learned, however, that
! the Indians were harmless and mani
tested no tendency to modest persons
or property.
Indian Village Site
| On an Indian trail running south
east from the fording point of the
| Baraboo river on its north bank, is
an elevated piece of ground which is
now part of South Park addition to
the city of Reedsburg and owned by
DR.. F. D. Hubert. Tbs is probably
very old Indian village site. After

GOOD FENCES ARE REQUIRED
Fowls Running at Large Destroy Gar
dens and Flower Beds-Confine
Them in Yards.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Confine the backyard flock; other
wise the hens will stray into neigh
bors' yards and gardens, where they
may cause damage and are almost
sure to cause i'll feeling. The yard
should be inclosed by board or wire
fence. Wire fencing is preferable, as
it is cheaper and the hens are less
likely to fly over it, say poultry spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. If cats prove
troublesome where one Is raising
Chickens it may be necessary to cover
the top of the yard with wire also. A
board should not be used at the top Of
a wire fence, as this gives the hens
visible place to alight and tends to
teach them to fly over.
A 5-foot fence Is high enough for
most conditions, but if the hens show
a tendency to fly over such fence
the flight feathers of one wing should
be clipped. Leghorns need a 6-foot
fence. The larger the yard which can
be provided the better the hens will
do, as it not only gives them greater
opportunity to exercise, but also
makes it possible to maintain sod
on the yard. In most cases not enough
land will be available so that sod can
be maintained.
If the yard is fairly large, II can be
divided into two parts and green
crops, such as oats, wheat, rye, or
Dwarf Essex rape allowed to start in
one yard while the hens are confined
to the other The green crops should
be sown very thick, and the following
quantities will be found satisfactory
for yard % by 80 feet: Wheat, 2%
pounds; oats, IA pounds; rye, 81
pounds, rape, ounces. When the
growing stuff reaches a height Of 3
to 4 inches the hens can be turned
upon it and the other yard be SINH
larly sown.
Where 1t is inadvisable to divide
the yard il Is possible to keep a sup
ply of green stuff growing by using
wooden frame 2 or 3 inches high COW
cred with 1-inch-mesh wire. A frame
made Of l by Pinch lumber, 6 feet
long and 3 feet wide, with an addi-
tional piece across the center to sup
port the wire when the hens stand on
1t, will be found desirable for a small
yard. A part of the ward as large as
this frame is spaded up and sown, the
frame placed over it, and the mate
rial allowed to grow. AS soon as the
green sprouts reach the wire the hens
