St. Marys Township Had An Indian Reserve Os 1,600 Acres, During Monroe Administration

(By F. Q ) One hundred and five years ago, at Saint Mary's, Ohio, was held one of the doggonest Indian pow wows, most ever heard of, outclassed perhaps only by the famous roundtable, wampum, killikinick discussion that William Penn, of bleseed memory, had with the big chiefs. This is the how of it: At that time President Monroe was a greatly annoyed president. The Indians had been given almost every thing that the United States government could give them except a home and a right to live, yet the warriors were getting peeved. Mr. Monroe realized that something had to be done or the mighty course of empire could not proceed majestically on its way. Lewis Cass, Benjamin Parke and Jonathan Jennings were distinguished gentlemen who lived at that time and among their qualifications was a desire to give the white man a regular chance, save scalps and at the same time give the noble red men at least one tenth of one per cent of what was left after the white men had all they wanted. President Monroe appointed these able gentlemen United States commissioners. Told them to proceed to the source of the Kekionga river, blow their bugles and call into pop wow the painted savages of the great Miami tribe. This they proceeded to do. On the second da yof October 1818, the great meeting was held. Heap pipes were smoked. Heap talk was had. Heap bad whiskey, perhaps was had. The meeting lasted until the sixth of that noble month, not, perhaps, on account of the amount of business but maybe because Chief Get-it-in-the-neck took that long to sober up. At any rate, on the sixth the game broke up and they — the commisioners and the chiefs —signed up a treaty by which the red boys got a slice of land that tan pretty well across the middle part of Indiana — the commisioners must have had some firewater, also — and in the shuffle there was dealt out to one Indiana chief named Cho-a pin-a-mois. sixteen hundred acres of land along the Kekionga river. At that time the state of Indian was but an infant of two years of age. Adams county had not been thought of yet and this land that what's-his-name 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 follow the blazes on the trees — they commenced to get straightened 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 land was in Saint Mary’s township, being a part of sections fifteen, sixteen, twenty-one and twentytwo. 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 be readily seen that Tony, the younger eugenically, was not a good mixture. Antoine, however, hit the trail for his new home with his squaw and etcetera and tepees and dogs and a couple of jugs of firewater. Now at that time there were plenty other Indians in that section of the country but as far as Mr. Monroe 1 and his compatriots were concerned 1 they had no more land than a rabbit. ' The only fellow that was a land owner anywhere was this half-breed Tony. He held undisputed sway as far as the government of the United States was concerned. No one of the white race bothered him or his, for many moons or to be exact until a whole year had elapsed when Henry Lowe built a cabin about five miles south of Tony's homestead. The next year Robert Douglas settled aboiit. 10 miles to the northwest and Rivard and his squaw and papooses and such warriors as boarded with him became discouraged over the increase of popula tion. Now the situation as we understand it was like this: Cho-a-pin-a-mcls owned sixteen hundred acres of land. It was his and the White Father had so marked it off on the map. The map dignified the tract by calling it an "Indian Reservation.” All and sun-

dry were notified that then and thereafter it belonged to this Indian and his descendants. Theirs was a sacred right of honorable possession and no one could take it away from them unless they were smarter than these red folks They did not have to pay taxes nor ditch assessments. The White Father told them all these things and the other boys down at Washington told their white brothers that for the moment at least no more respect need be paid to the red men's rights than to the eighteenth amendment. On the twenty-sixth day of October in the year 1837. a cause of action was had in the Adams circuit court of Adams county, Indiana, entitled "Frances Compaiate and John P. Boure versus Cho-a-pin a-mols, alias Antoine Rivard,son of Anthony Rivard." By golly, when they got through with that case Tony did not have anything left of that sixteen hundred acres except two lonely plots 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 h half-breed at that and there was plenty of land, you know, way out. west. We don’t reckon that many of our fellow citizens and school children ever knew that we had an Indian reservation in good old Adams county. If you happen to think of it and are taking an auto ride, drive over east, take the road that runs due south from Bobo and when about one mile down, you will hit about the northwest coiner 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 aoout one and onehalf 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 of the river. No, it isn't much of a story. o— Four Indiana Schools Get Full Accreditation • - Indianapolis, Sept. 13. —(U.R) —Four Indiana universities and colleges, Indiana University, Purdue University, Franklin College and Wabash College, have been granted full accreditation by the department of education at Washington.
