The Old Pawnee Bock.

Pawnee Rock, in, Barton County, Kansas, has long been a familiar landmark on the old Santa Fe trail. It is an Immense pile of sandstone about which the Pawnee Indians used to gather, and. at which, LC tradition be true, they made their last stand against the .advance of the pioneer white men, giving way at the end of a bloody battle. A great deal of sentimental interest has been attached to the rock, but it will soon be only a memory, for its thrifty owner has sold it to the quarryman, and it is being removed as fast as the blasts can shatter it.
