Mr. Wood although of striking Indian foature: 71 years of age, spenks English fluently He answered many questiona regarding Logan Fontenelle, once chief of the Oma has and in whose memory the hotel was named. A Springficld, N man wanted to clear up some uncertain points regard ing Fontenelle's life and death Indinn Re Phers. With considerAble serioisness Mr. Woc sald: “Trouble with white man is he | marks things down on paper and forgets Indian he remembers here (pointing to head) and he does not forget Then he recalled that when Fontenelle was killed by the Bloux near Beaver creek the chief was riding a roan horse. He sald the Sloux could recognize the horse as far as they could see. “Fontenelle had the swiftest horse of the tribe and no Bloux could have caug him, but he made a mistake by going Into the bend of the river and his horse became mired. It was Fontenelle's time to dle,” Inued Had Com Asked what he meant by saying it was the ohlef's time to die, he explained that his time had come, a sort of decree of the gods, as it might have been In Indian belfef, Sillas Wood was a boy at the time of the death of Logan Fontenelle, but he #ays he remembers viewing the body of the alain chief. Sixty years before the evening this Indian sat in the luxurious lobby of the Fontenelle he was In camp at a point where the Union station is located He saw the survey being made of the original townsite of Omaha. He rode his pony over the ground more than haif a century ago and a few days ago ban queted with some of the men who have when been identified with making Omaha a great city.
