Indian Names

Indian names, writes James A.
Hall in the Atlanta Journal, used
to be changed in accordance with
important events in the life of the
individual. When the young brave
returned from his first war expe-
ditiOn and was duly elevated to
the rank of first class warrior he
was given a name indicating this
fact. Later in life, other names
were given when he attained the
rank of chief or performed some
noteworthy act, In old age, he
was requested to give up his name
and adopt the name of his son,

Possible Origin of Golf

The Romans had a game called
paganica, played with a crooked
stick and ball of leather. and in
England during the reign of Ed
ward III the game was called
handy ball. The Dutch game diff
fers greatly from the Scottish. and
it is believed that golf is a direct
descendant of the game of shintv
but is probably a combination of
both. Golf was extensively played
in Scotland in 1857.

UNALASkA RESIDENT |S SUMMONED BY DEATH
 0N OCTOBER FIFTH

Another oldtiner of the West ward was summoned by the grim reaper on Monday, October 5, when Nick O. Creevden, 43 years of age, passed away at Unalaska.
 Creevden was born on Unga Is- land, Alaska. February IS, 1888. He has spent most of his life on the Aleutian Islands and settled at Un- alaska about F years ago where he has resided with his family and engaged in fishing in the summer months and fox hunting in the winter.
 He was married to Alice Ander- son and she is left with five small children. He also leaves two sis ters, Anna Olgin and Maggie Burn sten who live on Unga Island; two brothers, Nickata and Mike Creev- den.
 The deceased was baptized in in fancy and grew up under the influ- ence of the Russian Orthodox church. Of recent years he has been more liberal in his faith and all the children are members of the Mission Sunday School, main tained by the Women's Home Mis- siOnary Society of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 MT. Creevden had been i'll for some time but did not consider himself in any immediate danger till just few days before he passed away. The resident physician was absent from the village at the time of his death, but no doubt it was brain trouble that ended his life.
 His funeral was conducted from the Mission Chapel by the superin- tendent and pastor of the Mission, Rev. A. J. Armstrong. A large group of friends and neighbors extend their sympathy to Mrs Creevden and her family in their affliction.
