A rueful letter comes from Mrs.
I. J. Laird, 121 Oakley street, Wau-
kegan, ILL.,, former resident of Bara-
boo. After stating they could not get
along without the paper because it
seems like letter from home, she
says: perhaps our BarabOo friends
would be interested to know that the
condition Of Mr.. Laird, who has been
confined to his bed for almost year,
remains unchanged. He is gradually
growing weaker, and is great suf-
ferer, but sweet and patient through

In previous issues of this paper ar
ticles have appeared about the In
dian Ah-ho-cho-ka from the pens of
DR.. F. D. Hubert of Reedsburg and
O. D. Brandenburg Of Madison. George
Carpenter says that Ah-ho-choka- was
a tall slender Indian about
six feet: in stature, and
weighed about 100 pounds When Mr..
and Mrs. Carpenter resided on farm
west of the county farm the Indian
would come to their house to warm
his feet. The last time he was there
was 80 years ago One day the In

home and asked for meat, corn meal
and clothes. When these were given
She then asked for carpet and when
this was refused went off in huff.
She said the Carpenters had plenty
and could see NO reason for not giving
away a carpet. Soon after another
Indian, Blue Wing, came to the house
and gave Mrs. Carpenter a basket.
He said: "Ah-ho-cho-ka's woman talk
too much, to much, to much"
In the abstract TO the farm the
name Of Blue Wing occurred, this
being land he once owned. Evidently
the Indians enjoyed returning to their
old haunts.
