on Old Trait.

One Of the real historical places in
kansas-Pawnee Rock-a monument
or hill OF rock which stood alongside
of the Santa Fe trail, and which today
is still a break in the level Of the Ar
kansas valley through which the old
trail wended its way, has been made a
state park, according TO the Great
Bend correspondence OF the Topeka
Capital
Citizens of Pawnee Rock who live at
the base Of this park are preparing to
make 1t one of the localities that will
be remembered by the tourists as
they travel over the route which for
many years was the principal route
TO the Pacific. The rock is TO be
cleaned up for the summer, the road
to the top, where a monument and
pavilion are located, is to be made
over and the place made one where
tourists viii find it pleasant TO stop
and camp.
PaWnee Rock was named for the
Pawnee Indians who met annually on
the rock, and tradition is that 1t was
the scene of one of the greatest fights
In the annals of the Indians of the
plain, when an attacking body of In
dams besieged the Pawnees while they
were in annual cOnclave, and the fight
lasted for days, the Pawnee being
safely fortified on the rock but being
cut off from water, though scouts man.

In the years when the chief route

of travellers were cut in the soft sand

Among them were many men famous
in military history of the United
States, including General Sherman
and General Sheridan.
