Indian Legend Is

i On the Mississippi1 IX MAKe nr SHWPY J/(ix.t SL.W OUT HO*] j j Story of ValiaaS Maiden's | Death Leap to Join Her Lost Lover.

I MILWAUKEE.—An obscure cen- i sus item about an obscure Wiscon- ', sin river town might well be forgot- ' ten except that it ssems to insure : perpetuation of one of the moot af- ;feeting legends, of the American In- 'dian. i It is the legend of Maiden Rock, ia story of a valiant Indian girl's : death leap which permitted her to \ join her lover in the happy hunting ! grounds. ; Had it a Longfellow to give it ds 'tail and beauty of phrase, rather than the bald words in which it now is recorded, the story might be as RON AS YE HEVEK : well known as that of Hiawatha. MEN " The legend concerns the river town because the town is named Maiden Eock, after the Mississippi river bluff \vhere the tragedy took •place. And had the community been more propitiously touched by the wand of commerce and industry, it might have grown into a large city • which would have cast aside its , somewhat poetic name and chosen something different. Pleasant Place. I But with the census showing a drop in population from 311 ten years ago to 291 today, Maiden Rock seems destined to remain just what it always has been, a pleasant little place on the shores of Lake Pepin.. The legend goes that many young braves came to court the beauteous Wenona, daughter of Red Wing, a .Dakota chief. But Wenona was in I'LL SLAMTH DOOK love with White Eagle, a young SHUT" Chippewa, and would have none of them. Red Whig violently opposed the . match because the Dakota and Chip- pewa tribes often were at war. He • vowed that he would kill Wenona ' rather than have her marry a Chip- pewa brave. Red Wing himself had ' chosen Kewaunee, an old Dakota ; chief, for Wenona's husband. ;. The young lovers would meet atop a high bluff overlooking the Father ! of Waters at the point where it : spreads out to become Lake Pepin. , When Wenona found that her father • had sent his warriors after White ! Eagle, she ran to their trysting \ place. ,; Surrounded by Foes. | White Eagle was thrilled at the | meeting, yet begged that she go ,j with him to his own people. As he i pleaded, the Dakotas surrounded N\, Ml?. KELLY \ him. ? ^=^~^= !

Besides, added Marshall, the me- dieval heating systems weren't "so hot," either. Only one large fire- place in the main hall served to try to keep the entire building warm.
