-the commissioners must havo had some firewater, also-and in the shuffle there was dealt out to ono Indian t hies named Cho-a-pln-u inois, sixteen hundred acres of land along the Keklonga river. At that time the state of Indiana was but an infant of two years of age. Adams county

hud not been thought of yet and this land that wlmt's-hls-nnine got, was somewhere in Indiana, but no body • but the surveyor knew where It was '■ and all he knew about it was what a little map said. Well, to make a long story short, down at Corydon, which was Indiana’s state capital—all one had to do to find that capital was to I follow the blaze ; on the trees —they commenced to get utraightened around and In course of time they marked off Adams county and then the township therein of Saint | Mary's and then that poor Indian discovered that his lain! was in Saint Mary's township, being a part of stctldns fifteen, sixteen, twenty-one <tnd twenty-two. The land was In fact granted to the children of what's-his-name, and they or someone named their dad Antoine Rivard, in honor of his father, who was a Frenchman by the name of Anthony Rivard, and it may lie readily seen that Tony, the younger eugenically, was not a good mixture. Antoine, however, hit the trail for Shis new home with his squaw and etcetera and tepees and dogs and a couple jugs of firewater. Now at that time there were plen’y other Indians in that section of ti e country but as far as Mr. Monr >e and his compatriots were concern'd * they had no more land than a rabb’t. The only fellow that was a land owner anywhere was this halt-breed Ton/. He held undisputed sway as far re tlie government of the United Stat s was concerned. No one of the while race bothered him or his. for mar y moons or to be exact until a who'e year had elapsed when Henry Love built a cabin about five miles sou . h of Tony's homestead. - The next ye: r Robert Douglas settled about ten mi! 's to tlie northwest and Rivard and I'.'.t squaw and papooses and such wir riors as boarded with him became di-’ couraged over the increase of population. Now the situation as we understai d it was like this: Cho-a-pin-a-mois owned sixteen hundred acres of lan 1. It was his and the White Father le d so marked it off on the map. The nr p dignified the tract by calling it : » “Indiana Reservation." All and sundry were notified that then and thereafter it belonged to this Indian ai.d bis decendants. Theirs’ was a ea - red right of honorable possession aid no one could taka it away from the .1 unless they were smarter than there red folks. They did not have 10 pay tuxes nor ditch assessments. Ti e White Father told them all the e things and the other boys down at Washington told their white brothe -s that for the moment at least 1. > more repect need be paid to the re Imen’s rights than to the eighteen h amendment. On the twenty sixth day of October in the year 1837, a cause of action w: s had in the Adams circuit court of Adams county, Indiana, entitl'd “Frances Comparete and John ”. Boure versus cho-a-pin-a-mois, alit o Antoine Rivard, son of Anthony Rivard.’’ By golly, when they g»t through with that case Tony did not have anything left of that sixteen hundred acres except two lonely plo's of ground two feet wide, six feet long and four feet deep. Now we are ‘not inferring that that law suit was (unjust. You see. Tony was an Indian and a half-breed at that and there was plenty of land, you know, w; y out west. We don't reckon that many of o ir i fellow citizens and school children IsW: wQi 5 Tub Well-Known Medicines of the It * Famous Receipt Hook Author | K-L Pills I : For Kidney and Liver j I' Troubles, Constipation, In- J testinal Indigestion and s Kindred Ailments I Liver trouble leads to serious ills. | And a sure sign of liver trouble is 3 biliousness.

If you happen to think of it and are taking an auto ride, drive over i east, take the road that runx duo south from Hobo and when about one mile down, you will hit. about the north-west corner of the old reservation thence south on the road to the Pleasant Mills river bridge, thence easterly on the winding highway a | couple miles to the little brick school house, thence due north about one mid one-half miles to the cross roads, thence east to the Piqua road. That is not quite accurate but within those lines lies about all the land that Tony Inherited from our Uncle Samuel. It Isn't much of a story, is it? Just 1,600 acres of wild land a half-breed Indian and his' brats and a couple of shallow graves along the banks o' the river.
