Chialia (Chehaw). A common Creek 

 town name. The earliest on record, 

 Chiaha, visited by the De Soto expedi- 

 tion in 1540, has been identified as on 

 the lower Chattahoochee, in the imme- 

 diate vicinity of the later important 

 town known commonly as Chehaw, about 

 the year 1800, near the present Columbus, 

 Ga. A third town of the name was lower 

 down, on Flint r., and was considered a 

 Seminole settlement. Still another of 

 the name, belonging to the Upper Creeks, 

 may have been on Upper Coosa r. in n. 

 Georgia. (j. m. )

Chica9a. A chief town of the Chickasaw, 

 situated, according to Halbert (Miss. 

 Hist. Soc. Fubl., VI, 452, 1902), 1 m. n. w. 

 of Redland, in Pontotoc co.. Miss., in the 

 1 6th century. This settlement was visited 

 by the army of De Soto, who made it his 

 headquarters during the winter of 1540-41, 

 and whose chroniclers describe it as situ- 

 ated on a hill and consisting of thatch- 

 roofed houses. In the following spring 

 the Indians, after repeated attacks, suc- 

 ceeded in setting fire to the town, and, al- 

 though finally repulsed, killed a number 

 of Spaniards and horses. The day fol- 

 lowing this disaster the Spaniards moved 

 to a spot a league away, where they built 

 a temporary village which they called 

 Chicacilla, i. e., ' Little Chicaga.'

Chicago (Sauk, Fox, and Kickapoo:

 of the skunk', an ancient name for the 

 S. part of L. Michigan, due, it is said, to 

 a large skunk that once lived along the 

 s. shores and was killed in the lake Ijy a 

 party of fox hunters. — W.J.). A Miami 

 village on the site of Chicago, 111., at the 

 period of the earliest explorations in that 

 region, 1670-1700. A French document 

 of 1695 makes it a Wea village at that 

 time(N. Y. Doc. Col. Hist., ix, 619, 1855). 

 Situated on one of the routes to the Mis- 

 sissippi, it was a place of importance from 

 an early date. It was the seat of the 

 Jesuit mission of St Joseph; Marquette 

 and Joliet passed by it on their return 

 from their exploration of the Mississippi, 

 and Marquette subsequently passed a 

 winter there. AUouez took the same 

 route in 1677, as did La Salle on his sec-
