Since, the waters of the Mississipni 1 river washed away the last vestige of Kaskaskia, the first capital of Illinois, _ an old legend that contained the proph- ecy of the` total destruction of the once - ourishing little city has been recalled. Kaskaskia was situated on a peninsula % at the junction of the Kaskaskia and . the-Mississippi rivers, and in 1882 the l - Misissippi river cut its way through 1 the peninsula, leaving the remnant of ` the town on an island. The water con- : tinued to wash away the rich alluvial deposits on which Kaskaskia was built until, late in 1900, the last foot of the land where the town once stood disap- 3 peared. .This singular ending of Kas-T 3 l:askla s once `splendid ambitions has recalled to the. superstitious the story = that the town was cursed in the eight- eenth century by an Indian who had . been wronged by one of the leading citizens. -vwu-uv --u- -v--- -nun-so cocoa.-J oungnvuu Oneraw. gusty.
