SHABBONA, A ~POTTAWATOMlEI
WHITE MANS FRIEND"
By L M SCOTT WATSON

MANY Indians have stunned the
" name Of white mans friend"
but to One 1t was a proud title. Shah
bona, chief Of the Pottawatomies, curl
Ously enough, was neither a chief nor
a member of that tribe by birth. He
was an Ottawa, nephew of the great
Pontiac. Having married a Pottawa-
tonne woman, ne was adopted into the
tribe, given the name of Shabbona,
Built Like a Bear" and eventually
was made peace chief.
Shabbona's first service to the whites
occurred on the day of the Fort Dear
born massacre when he and Chief
Sauganash saved John KinZie, the
trader, and his family from the blood
mad Pottawatomie warriors. During
the WinnebagO war Of 1927 he w0n
first the title of "the white mans
friend by %persuading his people not
to join the Winnebagos on the war
path.
But 1t was during the Black Hawk
war that the Fottawatomie chieftain
proved himself the white mans friend
indeed. In February, 1882, Black
Hawk attempted to form a cOnfedera-
ton Of the Sacs and Foxes, Pottawa-
tonnes and WiHnebagOeS to fight the
whites. White Cloud, the Winnebago
chief, favored the union and declared
that IF all the tribes will join us our
warriors will be like the trees of the
forest" Eyes" replied %Shabbona, "But
the soldiers Of the whites will outnum-
Der the leaves on the trees" The
Pottawatomies did not join.
S%habbOna was not content with hold.
ing his own warriors quiet. After
Stillman's defeat had left the whole
northern frontier of Illinois unpro-
tected, he set out to warn the whites
that the hostiles were coming. A few
farmers persisted in staying and a
second time the chief, facing death at
the hands of Black Hawks warriors,
carried the alarm. The settlers who
refused to heed this warning died In
the dreadful massacre on Indian creek.
Shabbona served General Atkinson
faithfully and well as a scout during
the remainder Of the campaign and
for once In history a friendly Indian
was rewarded by the whites. The
government excepted Shabbona and his
family from the order removing all
the Pottawatomies to a reservation
In Kansas and gave him a pension.
But land spectators took possession
Of his tract while he was visiting h$
tribe. However, citizens who appreci.
ated the value of his services raised
money topbuy land on the Illinois river
and gave the old chief a home for the
rest of his days.
He died there July II, 1859, and 10
buried in Morris, Ill.

OSCEOLA, THE SEMINOLE, THE
INDIAN HAMLET

\ MONG all great Indians Osceola
"A (Asi-yaholo-"Black Drink Hal
loer') is the most romantic. A pic
turesQuely dressed figure, his dark
gloomy eyes cleaning beneath a turban
decorated with three dropping ostrich
plumes, he raoves across the stage of
Indian histQry-a red Hamlet.
Osceola was the principal leader In
the Seminole war of 1885, which origi-
mated in a treaty made in 1921. II
provided fol- the immediate cession Of
the Seminoles' best lands In Florida
and their removal west of the Missis-
sippi at the end Of twenty years. When
trouble v e its execution developed
In 1882 the Seminoles were offered an
other treaty requiring their removal
within three years.
Although chiefs accepted the
treaty Osceola and the younger lead
ers, declaring that they had been de-
ceived, refused to sign. They carried
their protest to Washington. But
President Jackson was determined
that they must go west. In q council
with General Thompson, the Indian
agent, Osceela proved that he was
equally determined. Rushing up to the
table or which the treaty lag, he
plunged his knife clear through the
paper and deep into the wood and ex.
claimed pessionately, THE only treaty
l will execute is with THIS"
After a second unsuccessful confer
ence General Thompson ordered Osce-
ola thrown into prison in irons. Then
he agreed to sign. But he was only
temporizing. for the humiliation had
aroused the tiger in the Sem.nole's
heart and he resolved on war. In the
summer Of 1885 he surrounded 100
soldiers under Major Dade sent against
the Indians and killed every man ex-
cept three. On the same day he shot
down General Thompson.
Then he loosed a storm Of destruc-
ton upon the settlers Of Florida.
"When AE-yaholo's name Is whispered
the white man shakes with the swamp
ague and his gun drops to the ground
was the boast Of one Of his chiefs.
Four generals were sent successfully to
conquer the Seminoles and all Of them
failed.
Then General Jesup took command
Maddened by the popular outcry for
decisive action, Jesup summoned Osce.
ola to a conference under a flag OF
truce and In violation Of the most "a.
cred emblem n war he detained ti.s
chief and put him in prison. Osceola
was sent to Fort Moultrie, S. C. Here,

OF his capture and his imprisonment

A TIMELY HINT ON
CHRISTOPHER CONTROL

(By A. L. Ford, Extension Special
ist in Entomology
One of the most important steps
in the control of grasshoppers in
alfalfa fields comes at the time
that the first cutting is made
That time is at hand in this loo.
atty and all alfalfa growers are
emphatically urged to note the
following carefully as it may be
a means of saving many dollars to
them.
When cutting alfalfa the young
hoppers always move from the
cut to the uncut hay, in other
words the mower always pushes
them in toward the center of the
field. In infested fields uncut strips
little less than sycle bar in
width should be left every five or
six rods in the fields when the
first cutting is made. 1t will be
found that the hoppers invariably
concentrate on these uncut strips
and can there be poisoned with but
very little work and material as
compared with the fields which
have not been left in strips.
Alfalfa growers should carefully
examine their fields before going
in with the mowers and locate the
places where the hoppers are thick
These infested areas should be left
until last in cutting. In this way
the hoppers can be prevented from
spreading to great extent. When
only the infested patches are left
standing they should then be cut,
care being taken to leave plenty
of uncut strips on which the hop
pers can concentrate. Then the
poison should be used and used
literally.
