ATTENDS HISTORICAL BANQUET
The presence- of Silas Wood.
Omaha Indian, last Wednesday eve
rting at the Kontenello hotel was of
particular significance to thore in
terested in the early hhitory of
Omaha and the state. The occasion
was a banquet tendered by John l,ee
Webster, president of the Nebraska
State Historical association, to the
committee of one hundred in charge
of the semi-centennial celebration of
the admission of Nebraska into the
union.
While members of the committee were
chatting In the lobby of Hie hotel, before
going into the banquet room, the Indian
visitor occupied a corner sent and chatted
freely with the white men. Mr. Wood,
although of strlklnir Indian features and
71 years of rme, speaks KuKllsh fluently.
He answered many questions regarding
Logan Fontenelle, once chief of the Onm
has and in whose memory the hotel was
named. A Springfield, Neb., nvin wanted
to eJear up some uncertain points regard
ing Fontenelle's life mid death.
Indlnn H e members.
With considerable scrto ipness Mr. Wood
said: "Trouble with white man Is he
marks thlnns down on paper and forsets.
Indian he remembers here tMlnling to
head) and he does not forget." Then he
recalled that when Fontenelle was killed
by the Btoux near Heaver creek the chief
was riding a roan horse. He an Id the
Moux could recognlie tho horse as far
as they Could see.
"Fontenelle had the swiftest horse of
the tribe and no Sioux could have cauiiht
him, but he made a mistake by going
Into the bend of the river and hla hora.
becamo mired. It was Fontenelle's time
to die," he continued.
Ills Time Had Come.
Asked what he meant by saying it was
the chiefs time to die, he explained that
his time had come, a sort of decree of
the gods, as it might have been in Indian
belief,
Silas Wood was a boy at the time of
the death of Lognn Fontenelle, but he
aye he remembers viewing the body of
the slain chief.
Sixty years before the evening when
this Indian sat In the luxurious lobby of
the Fontenelle he was In camp at a
point where the Union Btation is located.
Ho saw the survey being made of tho
original townslte of Omaha. He rode his
pony over the ground more than half a
century ao and a few days ago ban
queted with ome of the men who have
been identified with making Omaha a
great city.
Silas Wood Is an interpreter for his
tribe. He was born near Bellevuo at a
location he believes Is now part of the
river bed. He Is a grandson of IJttlo
Chief, one of the leaders of the Omahns
and one of the signers of tho treaty be
tween the Omahas and the government.
This native son of Nebraska, whose
real name la Oo-kan-de-gra, has learned
to appreciate the white man s Jokes. His
mobile countenance was suffused with
smiles when Bishop Tihen of Lincoln told
this story : "The only difference between
a foreign-born and native American cltl
sen is that one came to this country
with his pants on and the other did not."
