WOMAN'S BROTHER TELLS OF BIG MASSACRE Survivor of Pawnee Tribe Kill ing by Sioux Relates Story as Eye Withess. Fifty--one years ago this week sev-- eral thousand highly armed Siouxr Indians attacked a few _ hundred Pawnees on a buffalo hunt near where Trenton, Neb., now stands, resulting in one of the most cold-- blooded maséacres known in recorded Indian history. . The annual "pow-- wow" held at. Trenton this week recalls the details of this unequal battle. With 300 warriors. 400 women and children, 1,200 ponies and 1,000 dogs the Pawnees started out on the last day of their hunt, August 5, 1873. 'Their ponies were well loaded with drief buffalo meat and robes, and they hbad visions of a winter of plenty in their village on the Loup river far to the north. Three white mep had come to their camp the day before, telling them that a big camp of their hated foes, the Sioux, were near by and had been spying on the Pawnees. "The white men wish the Pawnee to leave the buf-- falo for them to kill," said the chief, and ignored the warning. VOLUME XXXII--NUMBER 43 The first buffaloes seen that morn-- ing proved to be a band of Sioux Indians under buffalo robes. As they attacked the advancing Pawnees, hun dreds of other Sioux warriors appear-- ed. Hurrying their squaws, children and pack ponies into a ravine, the Pawnee warriors gave battle but were far outnumbered. Down the ravine they fled and mingled with squaws, ponies, dogs and children; their re-- treat soon became a rout with the Siouxr firing down upon the mass from the bluffs. Women and children were killed in-- discriminately. Captain J. W. Wil-- liamson, still living, commissioned by the government to accompany the Pawnees, tells of a 2 or 3 year old baby dropped by its mother. Raising Its arms it pleaded to be taken along. FPut no one could stop and to this day the picture of that In-- dian baby is fresh in the mind of the old plains scofit. _ ; j The Sioux suddenly rode away, tak-- ing with them most of the Pawnees' ponies and provisions. Far up the Republican valley thty had spied a column of U. 8. cavalry, and but for their approach every _ Pawnee would have been killed. The Pawnees left 156 of their number killed, and with the women wailing over their Aead, the remainder of the party took its wounded and started on its sorrowfu! journey northward to its village on the Loup. It was the Pawnees' last fight and they never came back to hunt buffalo. SHERIFF HAS 30 _ _ DAYS TO APPEAL: Rep. \W"'m. F.

I!linois added 33.22 miles to her paved 'road system during 'the week ending October 9, according to the weekly construction report issued by the State Division of Highways. 87 paving mixers, 8500 men, and 2000 teams were emploved directly on road wofk last week. The week's construction brings the total for'the year up tu 1042.99 miles. This is 150 miles in excess of the mileage which had been constructed by the same date of last year. In 1923, Illinois established a world's record for one year's road construc-- tion by building 1085 miles. -- This mark will--probably. be surpased ; in 'the next week or ten days. Frank °T. Sheets, Chief Highway Engineer, declared that, if the $100.-- 000,000 road --bond issue is approved at the November 4th election, an even greater road program will be possible next year. "If this proposal carries," he stated, '"We will immedi-- ately 'i)egin awarding contracts for 1925 construction. We expect to have all of the remainder of the $60,000,000 bond issue system which can be placed in condition to pave contracted for by spring. Of course, if.the bond issue is defeated, it will be necessary to reduce our program to such an extent that the avdrage amount of road constructed in each county will then be less than two miles." + _ The supreme court at Springfeld Tuesday heard the case appealed by County Treasurer lra Pearsall from the County Court of Take County, arainst the First Methodist Episcopal church of Waukegan, in which the county treasurer askea fror a judg-- ment against the church for alleged delinquent taxes on the parsonage and for a sale of property for non-- payment of taxes. e Mr. Sheets further called attention to the importance of voting on the proposal. Because of the fact that, to carry, it must receive a majority of all votes cast for members of the General Assembly, failure to vote on the proposition is équivalent to vot-- ing against it. If one votes at the election at all, he cannot be neutral on the bond issue. * SUIT TO SELL --PARSONAGE UP IN sUPREME COURT The case was submitted to the su preme court Tuesday on briefs, with oput oral argument. It was taken un der advisement. The local county court had dis=-- missed Pearsall's case, holding that the property was exempt from taxa-- tion because it belongs to a church. m'.rh;mc;u;"{a one of extreme inter-- est because it affects practically every church in Waukegan t_t_ug owns its own parsonage. . The Methodiat church has taken the position that the parsonage is churen property and is exempt from taxation. A test case is "being made and it was becanse 0' this fact that it was carried to the supreme court. If the high court rules favorably it will mean that the var iqus churches in the city will escape the necessity of paying tlaxes on their parsonages. Springfield4, I1l..
