jim BEcKWORTH, MULATTO
WHO BECAME CROW CHIEF

Jim Beckwourth, without doubt, was
the most-married man in history. Just
how many wives he had Is unknown.
In his autobiography Jim mentions at
least seven spouses, but his reputation
for truth was not the best Beck
wourth was the son of q Maryland
lrishman and a negress, and he was
born In 179S. When he left st. Louis
with General Ashley's fur-trading ex-
petition in 1923 he had q sweetheart
named Eliza, to whom he pledged
eternal devotion.
Among the Blackfeet Indians he won
his first wife, marrying her because
1t would help his trade among her
tribesmen! Soon afterwards he mar
ried her sister, too. Later he left the
Blackfeet, TO trade with the Crows,
and he acquired several more wives.
Jim was man Of great strength
and remarkable runner. One day
he was attacked by a war party who
pursued him for 95 miles before he
finally outran them. At another time
when a force Of $500 Arikaras and
Sioux attacked the Crows, the mu-
latto led the Absarokes (Crows) so
bravely that 253 of the enemy were
killed. Beckwourth had three horses
shot under him In this fight and killed
IA Of the Sioux. He was adopted by
the Crows, and because of his deeds In
war, he rose to the position of first
counselor, the highest honor in the
tribe.
At the outbreak Of the Mexican war
he enlisted as a scout and dispatch
bearer for Gen. Phil Kearney. He
also carried dispatches to California
and he was there In 1S4S, when gold
was discovered. He mined for a while
until the discovery of gold in Colo
RADIO In 1859 lured him to that state.
He settled In Denver and married
again-this time a negro girl.
The Crows heard of his return from
California and sent messengers to him,
begging him to return to them. Mis-.
fortune, had come to the tribe, and
they needed his "strong medicine"
Beckwourth paid no heed to their
pleadings until 1859, when he finally
visited them. But he refused to live
with them permanently. When he
announced his intention of returning
to Colorado, they prepared great
farewell feast In his honor. Beck
wourth ate their food and dropped
dead. The Crows had given him poi.
son. The Crows believed his "medi.
cine" would pass into his spirit, and
that wherever his bones rested the
spirit would remain. They resolved
to have both. and took that means OF
getting them!

on India before, but have you heard
a missionary who himself spent
many years in this work? You are
missing a great opportunity to learn
of our work in India if you fail to
hear this interesting lecture.
Friday night this week the voting
members of our congregation meet
at the parsonage. Our voting men,
bers are kindly urged to take a
greater interest. in these meetings.
The fact that your name appears Oh
the list does us little good We want
YOUR assistance, your counsel. your
fellowship at these meetings.
The Trinity Junior Society will
meet at the home of Eugene Brown,
300 Pelican avenue, Friday night.
Feb. II. All the members of this
society are urged to attend
There are still quite few of our
members whose address is not
known. The pastor takes the priv
ilege of mentioning this matter once
more. Please consider that the pas.
tor is unable to know your new
address if you fail to inform him.
Quite few have moved during the
past year and the last few months,
but have failed to notify us of their
new address. Also those who live
across the viaduct are kindly asked
to give their box number and house
number to the pastor. Please do not
neglect this. 1t is very little trouble
for you, but a great help to your
pastor.
Don't forget that we have Bible
class on Tuesday nights at 7:30 You
are welcome.
Here is a quotation from the Luth-
eran Witness, our official organ.
which should interest you. Speak
ing of instructions for confirmation,
the editor says: who can calculate
the streams of blessing for the up
building of Christ's kingdom and for
the eternal salvation of thousands
of souls which have gone forth from
these instructions for confirmation.
Let those parents whose children are
now preparing themselves for their
first communion take an interest in
this work of preparation; let them
question the children at home upon
the instructions which the pastor has
work by conversing 9th the chill
dren upon the one thiry that Is need
full. Let the home participate in the
blessings which the one member of
the family is receiving during these
instructions. What delightful mo-
ments will parents spend with their
children if they converse with them
upon those things that pertain to our
innermost happiness and our eternal
welfare. Altogether, children, pastor
and parents, let us not allow this
work to sink to the level OF ordinary
routine and business. Let us pray
God that He may honor His own
means of grace and fulfill His
promise that His word shall not re-
turn void"
These are the words which we
should all take to heart. BY the way,
dear reader, have you subscribed to
the Lutheran Witness? No? You
are a Lutheran and you don't think
enough Of it to keep in contact with
the work of your church? One dol
lar and twenty-five cents brings the
Lutheran Witness to your door
every other week of the year.
Cheap. isn't it? And the blessings
you will derive from the reading of
this paper are priceless. Don't waste
your opportunities any longer. Bring
your SLIPS to the pastor at the next
church service and become a sub
scriber.

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XLVII.-ARIZONA
! =: !: !: ! J !.
A@N& Arizona Is
HN 1891 NM both the
VHl W| ISD youngest and
MN S&% A probably the
W% oldest Of our
>S6E states. While
1t Is the last of the states to be
admitted to the Union and as
such dates its existence only
from 1910, its history before the
advent of white men dates back
into the dim past. Here were
located those interesting people,
the Cliff Dwellers, and the ruins
Of their cities high up in mac
cessible places have caused much
speculation as to these ancient
people. 1t Is supposed that these
Cliff Dwellers were the ances-
tors Of the Pueblo Indians and
were decidedly more advanced
In civilization than their neigh
bors. They were probably of
the same race as the Aztecs of
Mexico and understood irriga-
ton, agriculture and the build
ing arts.
1t was rumors Of. the great
Pueblos that instigated the first
visit Of the white men. Padre
Nizan In 1889 explored this ter
ritory and he was followed by
Coronado In search of the myth
ical wealth Of the. Indian cities.
Coronado, though failing to find
the reputed gold, did discover
the Grand Canon Of the Colo
RADIO with its wonderful scenic
beauty, which has become one Of
the great assets of the state.
This region was considered
part Of Spanish territory and
when Mexico declared its indie
pendence 1t became a Mexican
province. After the Mexican
war the section north Of the ella
river was coded to the United
States and the southern portion
was acquired through the Gads-
den Purchase In 1853. In 1853
Arizona was separated from
New Mexico and made q terri
tory.
The derivation of the name
Arizona is uncertain, but 1t pos
sibly came from the Spanish,
meaning dry belt"

WHY WATER TASTES BAD.

Fridays Cincinnati Enquirer said:
IF the water drawn from the faucet
in your home tastes like carbolic acid,
do not hesitate to drink it," said Clar-
ence Mailman, chemist at the water
works filtration plant, yesterday. ITS
pure regardless of the"taste."
Mr.. Bahlman was informed yester-
day by the State Board of Health that
Pittsburg manufacturing plants had
Industrial waste into the Ohio
River, which, because of the low stage
of the river, did not dissolve readily.
This foreign matter had contaminated
the river at Pomeroy and Marietta,
Ohio, yesterday, and, according to the
state authorities, the water at Cincin-
natl will be affected this morning.
Mr.. Bahlman announced that the
process of filtration at the California
station will neutralize all injurious
but that it will be impos-
sible to eliminate the disargreeable
taste
State authorities announced that the
Government will be appealed
to in an effort to compel Pittsburg
to dispose of their
waste matter other than by dumping it
into the river.
