Switzer Gabriel Godfrey, from the Peru Reservation, the last of the Miamis, has promised to be present and relate the pathetic story of Frances Slocum, The Lost Sister of Wyoming—a story which fiction has never equaled. The grounds will be handsomely decorated, and there will be vocal and band music. The Battle of Tippecanoe was the greatest battle ever fought on the soil of Indiana. It was really the first shot in the War of 1812. In 1836 General Tiptpn donated the land on which the battle was fought to the State of Indiana, and since that time the State has cared for it.
