IN MANCHESTER, 
Indian Braves Picked up the Trail Wednes- 
day Night and Went to Manchester, where 
They Feasted in Town Hall. A Gala 
Time. 
Red men, red fire, and a red-hot 
time. 
These words, in short, tell of the 
gala time in Manchester, Wednesday 
night. It was Red Men’s night, at 
all events, and a banner night in the 
history of Conomo tribe, 113, as well 
as. being one of the biggest Red Men 
events ever taking place in this 
vicinity. 
Conomo tribe of Manchester, which 
is fast becoming one of the leading 
Red Men tribes in this section, invited 
the members of Wingaersheek tribe 
of Gloucester, Wonasquam tribe of 
Rockport and Chickataubut tribe of 
Beverly to join them in a grand pow- 
wow at their wigwam in Manchester. 
The novel idea proved quite success- 
ful, for almost 200 of the braves were 
on hand. ; 
It was shortly after 6 o’clock when 
the noble chieftains began to gather 
at the wigwam, and at 6 30, headed by 
* And fast through the midnight dark and drear, 
Through the whistling sleet and snow, 
Like a sheeted ghost, the vessel swept 
Tow’rds the reef of Norman’s Woe.”’ 
their sachem, they picked up the trail 
and went to the station to meet their 
brother tribes from Rockport and 
Gloucester. 
Then the stalwart warriors joined 
ranks, and, led by a platoon of police, 
the Manchester brass band and three 
mounted guards, with Edwin P. Stan- 
ley as marshal, marched through the 
streets. 
Hundreds of pale-faces were out to 
see the parade. Red fire and Roman 
candles lighted the warriors on their 
march. The line went up Beach street 
to Union, to North, to School, to 
Central, to Bridge, as far as Ashland 
avenue, countermarch to Central 
square, to the town hall. 
Conomo tribe acted as escort to the 
visiting tribes, and lined up in single 
columns on the Common as the other 
tribes marched pass into the hall. A 
barouche containing Deputy Alonzo 
M. Tufts of Gloucester, Past Deputy 
Woodbury of Beverly, Sachem George 
E. Vivian of the Gloucester tribe and

These men were escorted into the 
hall by Sachem James Salter, Prophet 
Allen S. Peabody, Past Sachem Lewis 
Andrews and Past Sachem Frank 
Crombie of Conomo tribe, respect- 
ively. 
The brothers gathered around the 
council fire in the wigwam for a short 
while, and then adjourned to the town 
hall, where an enticing feast awaited 
them. Nearly 200 sat down to the 
tables. One of Bullock’s famous cock 
stews (a favorite dish with Red Men) 
was served. Sandwiches, crackers, 
coffee, fruit, nuts, cake and cigars were 
also offered. The fruit was donated 
to the local tribe by Michael Revelas, 
the Beach street fruit man. The re-
