Adams County, Way Back When---Before 1890 4 “Story” Made Up Os a Group Os Stories About Pioneer Life And Events Which, Collectively, Go To Make Up The Interesting History Os The County. ♦ By French Quinn.

An Indian Reservation One hundred and five years ago, at Saint Marys, Ohio, was held one of the doggonest Indian pop wows, most ever heard of, outclassed perhaps only by the famous roundtable, wampum. klllikinick discussion that William Penn, of blessed 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 disinguished 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 day of October, 1818, the great meeting was held. Heap pipes were smoked. Heap talks 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 ran pret'ty well across the middle part of Indiana—the commissioners must have had some firewater, also — and in the shuffle there was dealt out to one Indian chief named Cho-a-pin-a-mois sixteen hundred acres of land along the Kekionga river. At that time the state of Indiana 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 nobody but the surveyor knew where it was and al) 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 ths township therein of Saint Marys and then that poor Indian discovered that his land was in Saint Marys township, being a part of sections fifteen sixteen, twenty-one and twenty-two. The land was in fact granted to the children of what’s-his-name, and they or someone ntpned their dad Antoine Rivard, in honor of Iris father, who was a Frenchman by the of An thony Rivard, and it may be readily seen that Tony, the younger eugenic Rally, was not a good mixture. r

“THE UNWELCOME SUUOR'

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. N«w at that time there were plenty other Indians in that section of the country but as far as Mr. Monroe and his compatriots were concerned they had no more land than a rabbit. The only fellow that was a land owner anywhere was this half-breed Tony. He lield undisputed slaw 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 about 10 miles to the northwest and Rivard and his sq’uaw and papooses and such warriors as boarded with him became discouraged over the increase of population. the situation as we understand it was like this: Cho-a-pin-a-mots 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 sundry 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 the) 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 Comparate and John P. Boure versus Cho-a-pin-a-mofe, alias Antoine Rivard, son of Anthony Rivard.” By golly, when they got through with that ease 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 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 corner of the old reservation, thence south on the road to the Pleasant Mills river bridge, thence easter-

That is not quite accurate but within those lines, lies aboq,t all the land that Tony inherited from our Uncle Samuel. It isn’t much of a story is it?
