INDIANS USE OF FEATHERS

Feathers have an intense religious

LITTLE TURTLE VS.. HARMAR
AND ST. CLAIR

n nee upon q time George Wash.
" ingtOn flew into towering rage.
News of the defeat of Gen. Arthur st.
Clair had Just been brought to him.
Striding up and down in his office,
Washington stormed to his secretary:
my last words to him were, Beware
of surprise. And now he has al
lowed that fins army to be cut to
pieces and his soldiers butchered !"
Had his excellency told the unfor-
tunate general that he was being sent
against the craftiest and most ener-
getic Indian leader In the country,
Little Turtle CsIichikiniqua), chief Of
the Miamis, tie result might have
been different.
At the close of the Revolution, all
efforts to pacify the tribes in Ohio and
Indiana having failed, the government
sent an army of 1900 men under Gen.
Josiah Harmar against the confedera-
ton of Miamis. Wyandottes, Pottawato-
mics, Ottawas, Shawnees, Delawares
and Chlppewas led by Little Turtle.
The next year Washington sent St
Clair. Little Turtle launched a furi-
Gus attack upon the generals camp
early one morning and forced him to
retreat. The retreat became r0ut.
For four miles the screeching savages
ragged at the heels of the stampeded
army. Then Little Turtle stopped the
pursuit. I'VE have killed enough of
the white men. Let us now divide
the spolls," he said. Next to Brad
docks defeat, st. Clair's was the worst
in the history of our Indian wars. He
lost $50 killed, 2S0 wounded and all Of
his supplies.
Then Mad Anthony" Wayne took
the field and offered the Indians either
peace or war. Little Turtle counselled
peace. 1--WE have beaten the enemy
twice, but we cannot expect the same
good fortune to attend US always" he
told his warriors. The Americans are
now led by Black Snake the chief
who never sleeps. Something whispers
W lHe lldt IL Noulu pe "eh " IS'ch
to his offers of peace"
One of the chiefs accused Little Tur-
tie of cowardice. Stung by the unde-
served charge, the Miami chieftain con-
sented to attack Wayne. His fears
were justified for BLACK Snake" de-
feated them so badly at the Battle Of
Fallen Timbers In 1894 that the next
year they sued for peace.
When Little Turtle signed the Treaty
Of Greenville, he said, Il am the last
to sign 1t and will be the last to break
t." He kept his word. After that ne
led his people in the ways Of peace and
worked for their betterment. Little
Turtle died July IA, 1912.

CHIEF RED JACKET, SAGE OF
THE SENECAS
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON

CHIEF RED JACKET, SAGE Or
THE SENECAS
NTHAT Demosthenes was to the
w Greeks and Cicero to the Ro-
mans, Red Jacket was to the People
Of the Long House." (the IroQuois In
dians). He was member of the i'm
pOrtant Wolf clan, of the Seneca tribe,
and his Indian name Of Sha-goie-
watha, HE Who Causes Them to
Keep Awake" referred to the most
marked characteristic Of his clan
animal instead of the chiefs Oratorical
powers.
During the Revolution, Red Jacket
tried to hold his people neutral, but
being overruled by his tribe, he en-
listed under the British flag. His in
telligence soon brought him to the
notice Of the English officers and one
Of them gave him scarlet jacket.
Red Jacket was not a fighter. He
was at his best in the council. Il am
an orator; was born an orator. was
his boastful declaration. He was
ready and effective speaker; he had
tenacious memory, quick wit, and a
gift Of biting sarcasm. He was
especially hostile to the missionaries
who came upon the Seneca reserva-
ton. IF they are not useful to the
white people, why do they send them
to the Indians" he said. IF they are
useful to the whites. why don't they
keep these black gowns at home?
Surely the white men are bad enough
to need the labor Of everyone who
can make them better"
In 1881 Seneca was placed on trial
for having executed an old woman as
witch. Red Jacket spoke in his de-
tense. "What? Do you denounce us
as fools, because we still believe what
you believed two centuries ago?'
thundered the old chief. go to
Salem Look at the records Of your
own government and you will find
that hundreds have been executed for
the very crime which has brought
down vengeance upon the warrior"
One day Red Jacket met crowd
Of people on their way to witness a
hanging. When asked why he, too,
did not attend the execution. the chief
replied "There are enough fools there
now. The field of battle is the place to
see men die"
| Red jacket constantly warned his
people against the white mans ways
He had abundant reason, for one OF
the white mans customs brought
about his downfall. In his later years
he became a drunkard and descended
to such depths that in 1927 his peO
pie deprived him Of the chiefship
Eventually the commissioner Of In
dian affairs restored him to his po
sition, but he did not long survive

PREFERS RUSK CO.
TO OTHER CHIMES
Old Timer Says That After
Roaming Over the United
States For Years He
Decides Rusk Co.
Best Place to
Locate

Theo. Phillips owns small piece of
land in the east edge of Conrath where
he makes his home so that his chill
dren will have easy access to the good
school in that village. He has good
little house and barn and his acreage
is cleared and in a high state of Gull
tivation.
Mr. Phillips owns one of the finest
S0-acre tracts of land in the county,
which is located two miles east of
Conrath. He goes out to this land
whenever he has a day to spare and
up and burning. All of these cleared
places are seeded broadcast to clover
in the spring time Some of the trees
and stumps are left to be used for
wood and taken out later. The grass
is coming good on the 80 acres and
makes a fine green background for
the better grade of poverty wood that
is stood up around stumps A fine
spring creek crosses the land.
Mr. Phillips is now So years old and
years, having located on a farm in Bar
ron county in 1893. There he started
with team of horses, household goods
and 500 in money He had 10 acres
brushed off when he bought the land.
His team and barn burned up the first
year but he saved the house Hard
lines, these were but Mr.. Phillips went
to work and put up a log barn and in
four years he was out of debt, having
paid off the $500 he bought the place
for, and all other debts. He then had
80 acres brushed and 10 acres broke.
Mr.. Phillips has been all over the
United States since that time and
said that he made up his mind that
Rusk county was the best place for
him so he moved here three years ago.
He said that it did not pay to stump
and pillow new land, but that it did pay
to brush and seed and let the sun and
rain season the stumps so that they
come out, easier as time goes ON.
