then addressed the meeting, regretting that the tourna¬ 
ment was not the success (in point of attendance) that 
had been expected. He said, in part, that there was con¬ 
siderable dissatisfaction with the custom prevailing of 
allowing the professionals to compete for the purses, and 
suggested that at future tournaments only amateurs 
should shoot for the money, and also that all officers in 
the tribe should be held by amateurs, thus practically 
making the tribe a purely amateur organization. In 
making these suggestions he wished it understood that 
not only he, but all other professional Indians would 
help push the interests of the tribe to the utmost of 
their ability. His suggestions were adopted, and at the 
next tournament it will be “professionals shoot for tar¬ 
gets only.” 
Nominations for officers were next in order. S. S. 
Johnston, of Minneapolis, Minn., was nominated for 
High Chief. It was voted to close the nominations, and 
Mr. Johnston was elected. Nominations for secretary 
were called for. The question of separating the office of 
secretary and treasurer was advocated, and J. R. Taylor 
(Chief Buckeye) advocated keeping the two distinct, and 
nominated D. H. Eaton, Cincinnati, O., as secretary. It 
was moved by R. O. Heikes (Chief Bald Eagle) that 
Mr. Eaton be adopted into the tribe, which was done, 
and he was then elected secretary for the ensuing year. 
Jas. W. Bell (Chief Ding Dong), St. Louis, Mo., was 
nominated for keeper of wampum, and was duly elected. 
Geo. E. Painter (Chief Quick Paddle), Pittsburg. Pa., 
was nominated for vice-chief by J. R. Taylor, and was 
elected. J. R. Taylor moved that L. W. Cumberland, 
Columbus, O., be taken into the tribe, and the motion 
was carried. The following tournament committee was 
elected: J. S. Speer (Chief Black Stick), St. Marys, Pa.; 
Dr. D. L. Culver (Chief Long Smoke), Jersey City, 
N. J., and Ray Loring (Chief Shoot the Line), Mar¬ 
seilles, III. 
Then the question of a location for the 1913 tourna¬ 
ment was brought up. R. O. Heikes and J. R. Taylor 
favored Cedar Point. High Chief Marshall explained that 
the custom had been to hold the tournaments two suc¬ 
cessive vears in the West, and then for two years in the 
East. As the last two shoots had been in the West, it 
was up to the Indians to select a plate in the East, and 
he knew of no better place than the spot where they 
were this year. Dr. Culver jokingly said that where he 
came from Ohio was considered to be a part of the 
“wild and wooly West,” and thought the tournament 
might be held nearer the Atlantic. He was assured by 
the High Chief that Ohio was only on the very fringe 
of the real West, and thousands of shooters looked on 
the Buckeye State as very near the place where the 
sun rises. It was decided in favor of Cedar Point for 
the 1913 tournament and pow-wow. 
R. O. Heikes and J. R. Taylor were added to the 
tournament committee by the High Chief, and were 
instructed to confer with the authorities at Cedar Point, 
arrange terms foi 1913, and report at the regular meet¬ 
ing on Thursday. High Chief Marshall suggested that 
membership in the tribe should be limited to 100, and 
applications received after that number had been reached 
should be placed on the waiting list. He stated that the 
Indians was the only organization combining the social 
and shooting features, and attributed its success to this 
fact. On motion of Dr. D. A. Edwards it was voted 
that the membership be limited to 100. 
The report of Keeper of Wampum C. W. Budd was 
read and accepted. The report showed the tribe to be 
in good financial condition, and the High Chief turned 
over a check for a substantial amount to the new Keeper 
of Wampum. 
It was suggested by R. W. Clancy (Chief High Point) 
that a special event of 25 targets be shot by the In¬ 
dians clothed in their tribal costumes on Wednesday, 
after the close of the regular program, only members of 
the tribe to participate. This was seconded by Dr. D. A 
Edwards and carried. The members to meet at the 
hotel, array themselves in war paint and feathers, pro¬ 
ceed to the dining hall in a body for dinner, and then 
march to the grounds for the shoot. The meeting then 
adjourned. 
Second Day. 
The real early risers on Wednesday enjoyed the only 
pleasant weather of the day. All 'the carefully laid 
plans of the Pligh Chief and his lieutenants were spoiled 
bv rain, which began falling about 7 o’clock and con¬ 
tinued up to noon. It was a downpour, which precluded 
all possibility of a flight of clay birds, and the Indians 
stayed in the hotel, making weather predictions. 
The afternoon was better, though it continued cloudy 
and there were two or three sharp showers. The wind 
was _ strong from the west, blowing toward the traps, 
causing the targets to duck badly and keeping the flight 
low. 
At 1 o’clock the events were started, and at 4:30 
the grounds were deserted by all except the cashier. 
The attendance was a little better than on Wednesday, 
forty-eight shooters going through the program. Among 
the new arrivals were C. D. Manahan, G. F. Round, 
E. O. Lothamer, J. K. Douglass and John M. Sperry. 
The scores averaged lower than on the first day, 
though some exceedingly good ones were recorded. Pop 
Heikes led the field with 147, getting the last 62 straight. 
Next in order came Lester German with 145, breaking the 
last 63 straight. C. A. Young got third place among 
the professionals on 142. The amateurs were well up 
with the professionals, C. F. Moore being high man 
with 143, the third high score of the day. Wm. Ridley 
was second with 139. Five of the contestants, D. L. 
Culver, Ray Loring, John Deist. C. D. Manahan and 
J. D. Park tied for third on 139, and C. E. Doolittle 
and C. E. Mowrey were fourth on 137 each. Squad 1— 
Culver, Painter, Chamberlain, Taylor and Moore, made 
the squad record as a fitting wind up of the day, breaking 
straight in the last event. Geo. Maxwell made the day’s 
record long run, 70. 
The special event, to be shot by the braves in their 
tribal costumes, was declared off, a great disappointment 
to many who wished to see this annual feature. 
There were 7,200 targets trapped, at the rate of 2,056 
per hour. 
At 6 o'clock in the evening the members of the tribe 
gathered in their council tepee, arrayed themselves in 
full war paint and feathers, and led by Chief Long Talk 
Marshall, paraded through the hotel lobbies to the 
dining hall, marching to the music of the tom-tom, man¬ 
ipulated by Chief Bald Eable Heikes. After enjoying the 
“Dog feast” and listening to words of wisdom and good 
cheer from High Chief Long Talk, the braves returned 
to the lobby of the hotel, followed by the squaws and 
papooses. Here they seated themselves in a circle 
around the High Chief and his squaw, and were intro¬ 
duced individually to the assembled palefaces. Each 
brave was called upon to rise by High Chief Long Talk, 
and his name, title and a condensed history of his life 
given. It was a test of Indian impassiveness to stand up 
while all one’s good qualities, physical, mental, moral 
and financial were recited, and if there was any point 
omitted by the High Chief it was an oversight. The 
ordeal successfully passed, the tribe took the trail and 
visited the various places of interest, finally locating 
in the dancing pavilion, where they created much ex¬ 
citement among the young palefaces. The braves taking 
part in the demonstration and at the feast were: Chief 
Long Talk, T. A. Marshall; Chief Black Stick, J. S. 
Speer; Chief Quick Paddle, G. E. Painter; Chief Bean 
Eater, O. R. Dickey; Chief Shoot the Line, Ray Loring; 
Chief Right Wing, George W. Maxwell; Chief Long 
Smoke, D. L Culver; Chief All Aboard, S. S. Johnston; 
Chief Bald Eagle R. O. Heikes; Chief Reel Foot, Andy 
Meaders; Chief Sparrow, C. A. Young; Chief Hoochee 
Coochee, Horace W. Heikes; Chief High Point, R. W. 
Clancy; Chief Tennessee, D. A. Edwards; Chief Ding 
Dong, J. W. Bell, and the two newly adopted braves. 
At the table High Chief became reminiscent and told 
of the days when he was a pappoose and used to see 
Chiefs Bald Eagle and Reel Foot hunting the buffalo 
on the vast “pre-aires,” and killing them with bow and 
arrow.
