Aa Indian Way of Filing BoundarlM of Grant, to Whlto Men. ••That's a ten o’clock line.” said an old gentleman putting his finger on a delicate line on on« of the Grand Pacific maps. “What in creation is a ten o’clock line?” chorused twoyoung companions as they traced the line in question from near the mouth of the Miami river northwest through Indiana. “It was the boundary of an Indian grant—a kind of natural way of survey ing. I was down with a party once to ratify a treaty by which a tribe agreed to cede some territory to the whites. It was a small matter, but it was a big occasion with the savages. Every thing was ready. The surveyor had his compass and telescope and had mounted them on a tripod. The head man of the tribe came up, looked steadily at the instrument for awhile, grunted, and returned to the circle around the council fire. Not a word was spoken. Soon another Indian got up, walked sedately to the instrument, gravely examined, then grunted, and in silence returned to his place by the fire. This example was followed by half a dozen other bucks. Then they held a short consultation, and the head man arose and came over to the white men. “ ‘That what Indian know,’ he said, drawing a small circle on the ground with a stick, “that what white man know,’ he continued, drawing a larger circle around the first. ‘This what nobody know,’ he concluded, pointing to all without the last circle. ‘White man know that,’ pointing to the in struments; ‘Indian no know it. Indian know the sun. Him never cheat. Him always same. Him throw shadow. Indian give white man land one side shadow and keep other side.’ After a big pow-wow it was decided that a line drawn in the direction of the sun which would cast a shadow from an agreed point at ten o'clock should be made the boundary of concession, the white man taking the land on the one side and the Indian keeping that on the other. The'other boundaries of the concession were those of the original territory of the tribe, supplemented by watercour*» and ot her natural objects. These lines were frequently used and became known .is ‘ten o’clock lines.’” —Omaha Wnrlti. The First Shot at Shiloh. [Rookford (Ills.) Register.) Mrs. M. E. R.
