STORIES OF
GREAT INDIANS
BIZ Elmo Scott lDafson
PONTIAC, THE OTTAWA, THE
INDIAN NAPOLEON
Blu Elmo Scott Uotson
Copyright. 1922. western Newspaper Union.

TT WAS not a new dream-this plan
i OF uniting all the tribes to drive
out the white man. Opechancanough,
the Pamunkey, and King Philip, the
WaIupanoag had dreamed it and paid
the penalty with their lives. Little
Turtle, the Miami, and Tecumseh, the
Shawnee, were destined to attempt 1t
and to fail. OF them all, Pontiac, the
Ottawa, came nearest success-and he
failed when q woman talked!
Pontiac hated the English. But he
loved the French and when they lost
North America at Quebec In 1859, he
wanted to keep on fighting. On May
z, 1853, one smashing blow by the al
lied Indians was to regain this ter
ritory for the French and their red
friends.
The blow fell and the Indians were
so successful in their surprise attacks
that eight of the British forts were
captured and nearly all the garrisons
massacred. Pontiac was in personal
command Of the Indians around De-
troit, the keystone to British rule in
the West. He planned to capture it by
treachery.
Near the fort lived an Ojibway girl
called Catherine. She loved Major
Gladwyn, the commandant, and be-
trayed Pontiac's plot in time to save
the fort. Fooled in his attempt to take
Detroit, the Ottawa saw his grand
conspiracy crumbling. It was dealt
final blow when he received mes
sage from the French commandant at
Fort Chartres, H., telling him that
England and France we're now at
peace and bidding him end his war.
But Pontiac was not ready to give
ND yet He visited the Illinois tribes
and tried to rally them to his cause.
They hesitated to join him. Glaring
angrily at their chiefs, the Ottawa ex-
claimed: IF you refuse, will con-
sumo your tribes as fire consumes
the dry grass Of your prairies !"
BY now he realized the hopelessness
Of his dream. After one more attempt
to gain aid from the French, he gave
up the struggle and returned TO De-
troit to sign a treaty Of peace. In
1869 he came again to Illinois. At
Cahokia an English trader named
Williamson, who hated the great OF
tawa, offered a Kaskaslkia warrior
barrel Of whisky to kill Pontiac.
The Kaskaskia was easily persuad-
cd. He remembered Pontiac's threat
against his people years before. Late
one night as Pontiac, unsuspecting
danger, strobe through the woods on
his way to st. Louis the Kaskaskia
glided up behind him. A tomahawk
cleaned In the starlight and descended.
The Indian Napoleon was dead.

Found Tea PLANT n Assam.

In 1928 an Englishman by the name
Of Bruce was travelling in Assam, the
northeast province Of India. At that
time Assam had no commerce. 1t was
simply beautiful country where the
quiet, good-natured natives lived on
the tropical fruits which grow in pro-
fusion and raised just enough rice and
maize for their own use. While Bruce
was in Assam he discovered tea
plant. He reported his find to the
British government, who Immediately
imported tea plants in great numbers
from China and fostered the tea in
dustry, until now Assam is one Of the
chief tea-growing countries Of the
world. = Temple Manning in the
