MIANTONOMOH. ? Into the fOTtmof* own p?w of th# old Bo* ion church, om Buaday to 1WI, a |i|aatie lotftto ? ciuilpf m ??cb ndteaeot and general commo Hon u a hawk In a dove cote Prom mouth to mouth vu whimpered the news that the strange visitor wm Ml antonomob, the famous ml c hem . who, with hie uncle, Caoonlcus, ruled the mighty Narragansett "nation." He had come to Boston on a mleelon of peace, and *ai the honored guest of Gorernqr Wlnthrop. In /act, all the authorities put themselves to Taut trouble to make the vlait pleasant, for this grim, wise, silent young Indian. For It waa needful juet then to court the friendship of the Narraganaetts. Mlantonomob. being only a savage, believed In all the Puritans' protesta tions of friendship. To bis uncorrupt ed Indian mind a pledge of friendship was . sacred, abd friends should stick together through good and evil for tune alike. He swore brotherhood to the English colonists ? and kept his oath. They pledged loyal and lasting friendship to him ? and In a few years treacherously sacrificed him to their own interests. A Trust Thet Was Betrsyed. Mlantonomob, when Canonloua died In 1636, became sole ruler of the Nar ragan setts, Rhode Island being bis headquarters, and his own palaoe wlgwam being perched on what Is now known as Tonomy hill, just north of Newport. When the gentle clergy man, Roger Williams, was driven from Massachusetts by the Puritans he was wann'y welcomed by Mlantonomob, who g^ve blm land and provisions. In 1637, when the Poquot war began, Mlantonomob sent the governor of "Mssaachusetts-the hand of a slain Po* Quot and 240 feet of wampum as an evidence of his own people's friend liness. When the colonists that year marched against the Pequots, Mlan tonomob and bis braves joined the militia. This action made the Pequots hate Mlantonomob. They sent him word that If ever he should fall Into their hands they would punish his treachery toward them and his friend ship for the settlers by boiling hint in a caldron of oil. To ?how how little he feared the threat, Mlantonomoh Went at once on a journey through the Pequot country and back again, un harmed. Roger Williams strongly ad Tlsed him not to go, but Mlantonomoh replied: "A brave man cannot shun danger." Uncas, the Mohegan chief, was looming up more and more important In Indian politics. The Puritans aaw the urgent need of securing the friend ship of so powerful a leader. Hut Ml antonomoh and Uncas were sworn en emies. The colonists' rulers ui^ed the two foes to make peace, but Ml antonomoh, as ever, followed the ad vice of his white friends. In 1633 he and Uncas signed a treaty of friend ship (dictated by the colonists), which Included a promise to leave all dis putes to the English for settlement The same year Mlantonomoh was ca joled Into selling Rhode Island to the white man for 240 feet of white bead work. Boon after this Mlantonomoh began to learn a new phase of the colonists' nature. A rumor ? apparently with no foundation ? reached the Massachu setts colony that he was conspiring against the English. He went alone to Boston to answer the charges. Six years earlier, when he had visited that city, be had been treated like a king. Now he was neglected and even looked upon as an enemy. When he entered the trial room he was actu ally forbidden to sit at the same table as the English. Nevertheless, as no accusers dared face him, and as he ?bowed a wisdom and dignity that Impressed even the Puritan councilors, he was acquitted. The Penalty of Friendship. In 1643 Uncas made war on one of the Narragansett sub-chiefs, Sequas son. Miantonomoh, faithful to the terras of his treaty, aeked leave of the governor of Hartford to avenge theh attack. Permission was granted, and with 1,000 Narragansetts he marched against Uncas and 600 Mohegans. The armies met near Norwich. Mlanto* nomoh wore a coat of mall ? a gift from the English, of which he was .very proud, but which hampered his movements. I'ncas challenged him to single combat. Miantonomoh haugh tily refused, saying his followers were there to' tight. While the parley was going on Tineas gave a sudden sign, Hnd the Mohegans fell upon their un prepared foes, defeating them and tak ing Miantonomoh prisoner. The lat ter's flight was Impeded by the Eng lish coat of mall. I'ncas brought Mi antonomoh before a colonial court at Boston. There, in Bplte of the fact that he had earlier proved his lnno ??nce of the same charRe, the captive was found guilty of conspiring against the English. The commissioners, on the plea that their ally Tineas' life "Would be in danger as long as Mian tonomoh should live, condemned the gallant sachem to death. Miantonomoh had trusted and loved the English. They sacrificed him to Tineas and even gave the Mohegan permission to carry out the execution. The only stipulation the white men made, In memory of Mlantonomoh's former services, was that he should be merely killed ? not tortured as welL Bo the fallen sachem was led back to the scene of th? lost battle, near Nor ?dch, and there struck dead by a tom ahawk blow. <?>.
