Attorney Smith called the names of
about a dozen persons who were
court ready to testify to the good re-

When he took the stand, Winters
denied his guilt emphatically. He told
of the dispute at Hazlinski’s and

He said Silick had attempted to jump
at him but had been held back by
George Silick. © Winters told of going

Jurors Excused
At the noon recess on Tuesday,
Judge Valentine announced that since |.
there were no elements of first degree
murder in the case, he would not hold
the jury together. Mrs. Haupt, one of
the jurors, had received word that his
mother-in-law had just died.
After conferring with the attorneys
it was decided to excuse Mr. Haupt

TRY TO TRACE ORIGIN
OF STATE TREE’S NAME
Indiana Joins In Tribute
(Continued from Page 1)
Ke-Ke-nok-esh-wah and her husband
a French Indian, and the youngest
daughter, Ozah-shin-quah, who had
married three times to Indians who
were killed in Indian brawls, leaving
her with three children.
Maconaquah was wealthy, compara -
tively. She had much land, a hundred
Indian ponies, plenty to eat and every-
thing to make her comfortable. She
forgot the English language and
could talk to her brothers and sister
only through an interpreter.
Francis Slocum never returned to
Wyoming Valley. Her brother; Joseph,
visited her once later and took with
him two of his daughters. Later, sad-
dened by the tragedies of her Indian
friends, she asked her nephew, George
Slocum, to live near her and he did.
The White Rose Of The Miamis died
on March 9, 1847. ‘She was buried by
Indiang and according to Indian cus-
toms, but Christian services were held
though she had not accepted Christ-
ianity. She believed devoutly in the
{Great Spirit and trusted him for her
future happiness.
death her eldest daughter died.
The youngest daughter married an
Indian known as Peter Bundy, a prea-
cher, That daughter was the mother !
of twelve children and through them
today. An aged Indian, Camillus
Frances Slocum has many descendents
Bundy, Maconaquah’s grandson, is still
living. He guards the cemetery.
Other of her descendents entered the
ministry and were valuable workers in
jconverting Indians to Christianity.
Four years after her |:
In response to numerous requests to
the Department of Forests and Waters
as to how the hemlock, the State tree
of Pennsylvania, got its name, Deputy
Secretary John W. Keller has issued
the following explanation:
“No one,” said Keller, “knows exact-
ly where or how the hemlock got its
name. The syllable “lock” and its de-
rivaties, meaning plant, are common in
botany as in the names of charlock
and garlic. The origin of the first syl-
lable “hem” has mot been explained.
The Latin or scientific name of the
tree, Tsuga canadensis, comes from
two sources, said Keller,
“tsuga.” the name of the genus, is de-
rived from the Japanese; its meaning
densis, means native of Canada. Most
trees receive their common names be-
cause of some outstanding character-
istic that make them easily identified.
Hence, yellow poplar refers to the light
yellowish color of the sapwood. Pitch
pine is so named because of the high
resin content of the wood. White birch
refers to the light-grayish color of the
bark.
According to Keller there are 120
different kinds of trees native to Penn-
sylvania of which only twenty are con-
ifers, the so-called softwood trees.
However, many stands of introduced
trees are now growing in the State
forests and on privately owned land,
notably Norway spruce and Scotch
pine, two European species which have
become well adopted to our local cli-
rnate conditions.

when the ‘Miamis were compelled to go
Westward there are a score ‘of other
homes and mementoes associated with
the history of her descendants.
A memorial post marks the entrance
into the former residence of Frances,
Slocum. The graves of The White
Rose and her Indian husband, her
daughters and their husbands, and a
number of ‘unmarked graves, are on a
hill overlooking the river. The graves
i
are marked by a beautiful monument
erected in 1900 by members of the
Slocum. family throughout the United
States,
The bricks of aa old chimniy mark
the spot where Frances Slocum built
a comfortable home to replace the
crude cabin in which she first lived
there. Back of the present farm-house
is the famous Monument Spring.
The Frances Slocum Trail leads on
to Peru seven 'miles. from -the old
home stead, along, a. route. which The:
‘White . Rose and her. family travelled
many times to the Osage Village. The
Slocum name is intimately associated
with almost every family along the
route and the story of The Lost Sister
is as familiar..as it is to the school
children of Wyoming Valley.

Phelps. Indiana attorney and histor-
ian. “Here the bluest blood of England
and France fused with the Indians to
develop a new race. On this trail
were held important Indian Councils

Last Warning To
Motor Operators
“Think Twice”
Plea To Motorists
Applying
In a “last warning” to motor vehicle
operators who have not yet obtained
their 1934 licenses, the Bureau of Mo-
tor Vehicles today urged applicants to
think twice before mailing their appli-
cations.
“For all practical purposes, this is
the Bureau of Motor Vehicles’ last
warning to drivers who want their li-
censes in time to use them after mid-
night, February 28,” H. Richard Stic-
kel, director of the bureau, said.
“From wnow until the end of the
:nonth, the bureau will handle from
50,000 to 100,000 applications a day.
This volume of business imposes no
impossible task upon our facilities as
long as the applications are prepared
properly. >
“If, however, the percentage of in-
complete or carelessly filled out appli-
cations continues at the present rate,
thousands of motorists will be com-
pelled to remain off the highways for
a few days or a week.
“To accommodate those drivers who
take care in preparing their applica-
tions, the bureau will expedite those
applications first. Such persong will be
able to get their licenses on the usual
schedule under which cards are mailed
out the same day the applications are
received.
“The delay, which will increase with
the volume of business, necessarily
will penalize drivers who failed to fur-
nish the accident-record information
the law requires them to give. This is
natural in view of the fact that the
correspondence section of the bureau
cannot reasonably be geared as high as
.the setup through which licenses are
issued.
“To help motorists from being
caught in this jam, the only thing the
bureau can do is to repeat these simple
instructions: 3
“Read both sides of your
form carefully.
“Answer all questions to show the
number of accidents in which you
were involved during the last twelve
months, the amount of damage done
to your car and the amounts paid to
or claimed by others for personal or
property damages.
“Answer the questions carefully and
correctly. Don't let someone else do it
for you. The pemalty for incorrect in-
formation is a two-year suspension of
your driving privileges.
“Finally, be sure the envelope in
which you mail the application carries
sufficient postage. The bureau will re-
fuse to accept it if ip doesn’t.”
