Jasper County Reminiscences.

COMPILED AMD WRITTEN BY C. W. CLIFTON. Prologue. I have thanks to return for valuable aid in the compilation of the following history of our county, to Mr. Horace E. James, editor of the Union; Mr. E. T. Harding, druggist; Mr. H. A. Barkley, auditor Jasper county; Mr. M. L. Spitler, present county clerk; and to many others who have given me their willing assistance in my researches. There is much yet to know and to find out, and many old settlers who could render me valuable assistance m sending me early, and well authenticated reminiscences of our early history. To all such I would say, that, as soon as you see this opening chapter, you would cooler a greet favor upon me, and upon the present and future citizens of Benton, Newton and Jasper counties, especially the two latter, if you would at once, or as soon aa you conveniently can, commit to paper and send to me by mail, all you know or can find out about the early times of the three counties named. Indian history, relics and curiosities. Early hunting adventures. Information regarding the game, at, or before the time of the first settlements. The condition of the lakes, rivers, smaller streams, swamp lands, swamps, timber lands, roads, bridges, first settlements, schools, churches, mills, shops and stores. First ministers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, and above all, the earliest settlers. Of their coming, settling, privations and eventual triumphs over nature’s solitudes as they once existed in our now populous and beautiful counties. Do not delay, but let one and all begin at once. I give a more special invitation to the descendants of Donahoos, Lyons, Mallatts, Yeoman’s Noweh, Binghams, Randles, Parkisons, Sparlings, Barrs, Irwins, Ritcheys, Wrights, Owens, Polleys, Boyles, Allens, and Baxters, and to many others whose names I can not now procure. It will cost you but a few cents to send me early <tales and reminiscences which you have treasured in your memories, or which have been given you by your parents, — Recollect that the earliest records of Jasper and Newton counties were destroyed by fire, when the Jasper county court house was burned, and it is of importance that now and not later there should be gathered together all that can possibly be collected. The fathers and mothers who alone can Ao this will soon pass away to their rest Before you go let us resurrect from for-

getfulness your names and early deeds. — Then, once more, let all who know one single instance that they think may prove «of use in this article, consider themselves personally appealed to. We would also request all th e papers published in the three counties to call the attention of all veteran residents to this request, and induce them to at once interest themselves in the enterprise. They have also permission to copy the article entire as it appears from week to week in this paper, or aa much of it as will interest their readers. From the formation of our country, it is supposed by some geologists that at some previous era the Great Lakes had an outlet towards the Gulf of Mexico.— That the Wabash with its northern tribmtaries and others that flow from the vicinity of the lakes, were their natural outlets. That by some convulsion of nature, their communication va£ interrupted. Later, and of which we have some authentic knowledge, all the tract from the high lands north of the Kanka>ee river to the high prairies on the south was a shallow lake, interspersed by numerous islands. All that territory in Jas-

per and Newton counties known as* the Swamp Lands constituted a lake known as Kankakee. Indian legends speak of old Lake Kan ka kee. In the early report of the surveys of the Northwest Territory, from a portion of which Indiana was constructed, all the northern part of Jasper and Newton counties was marked down ‘‘Unfit for Settlement” The territory embraced by the three counties of Benton, Newton and Jasper was the exclusive property of the Pottawattamie Indians who roamed over its solitudes in search of deer, beaver, otter, and other game with which the then Far West abounded. The Indian inhabitants were, at one time, very numerous, as present indications plainly show. There were many villages and encampments within ,the present limits of the three cemsties previous to 1830, when occasional huutare Aed daring frontiersmen penetrated their wilds. Thera were villages on Pine in Benton cowrty; ob the

T- j . the Rapiflaof the Iroquois on the farm of Mr. H. A. Barkley, present county s. • * Y A . iSh its lakesandriversand hunted in its forMounds, trails, graves and lookouts are still left as monuments of their occupation. I arid “fookanta,” but I believe the last one fell before the sacrilegious ax, a resemblance to the branching antlers of some gigantic elk. From this outlook the untutored savage once bailed tiwiWproach of returning braves « friends;, watched for the appearance of signaled approaching danger. This noted outlook stood on the bank* of the Iroquois, just above the bridge across the rapids at Rensselaer. The stump can yet be seen in the corner of the vacant lot on the mill-race, in front of the residence of Mr. Leopold. On the form of Mr. H. A. Barkley was an Indian village, numbering about one hundred lodges, constructed of poles and bark. The poles were set in the ground converging to * point at the fop. and were covered with bark peeled from trees. At this place it probacy one of the oldest corn fields so the State. In 1834 it was cultivated by them, and an Indian upwards us eighty years old, related that when a pappoose, his mother carried him on her back and cultivated

the same field. Their method of cultivation was peculiar. From year to year. the corn was planted in the same identical spot, and cultivated by drawing the earth to the roots of the growing plants, so that each 1 hill eventually took the appearance of a small mound. Mr. Jared Benjamin’s first recollection of his farm w4s, that under one of the trees where the old settlers’ meeting was held last year, lay a little Indian pappoose while near by stood its squaw mother. During tho Black Hawk war, five hundred Kickapooe camped on the present site of Rensselaer. 0 Two tribes of Indians camped In a grove near what is now the town of Morocco in Newton county. One day, during the progress of a drunken spree, the rival chieftains, Bull and Turkey Foot, engaged in a quarrel. Words Resulted in blows. Bull succeeded by the rid of his hunting knife in putting an end to the existence of bis adversary. Turkey Foot’s friend plunged his knife into Bull, and the two rival spirits together departed to the happy hunting grounds provided for all braves by the Great jtfanttou.— Their surviving friends dug a huge pit, built in it a pole pen, placed the bodies of the rival chieftains in a sitting posture, feeing each other at opposite ends of their curious grave. Then placing with each a supply of tobacco, pipes, hunting implements, jerked venison and other food co last them on their journey, filled in their grave. The grove has ever since been known as Turkey Foot Grove. In the early settlement of Rensselaer, the Indians frequently came to the rapids to spear fish, of which they would take immense quantities. They preserved none but what are known as dog fish.— When they caught a bass they would trade it to the settlers for bread.

In 1832 a treaty was held at Logansport, Indiana, when the Pottawattamies ceded to the United States, all the territory now embraced by the three counties with which we are interested, in all about two million of acres, six hundred thousand of which is embraced in Jasper, and the remaining fourteen hundred thousand divided between Benton and Newton. The land soon after became the property of State. In accordance with an act of the Legislature the territory was constructed into two counties in 1838, called Jasper and Newton. Jasper county embraced all the land lying county on the east, White and Warden on on the south, Illinois on the west, and as far north as the line between town 28 and 29, about a mile south of Rensselaer., From the line between town 28 and 29, north to the Kankakee river, which is the southern boundary of Lake and Porter counties, and between Pulaski and Starke counties on the east? and Illinois on the west, was called Newton county. The Indians did not all leave the territory until some time in 1837, or ’3B, when die last remnants left the homes of their forefathers, and were removed to the territory assigned them by Unde Sam at the time of the treaty. ; They are now dead, even to our memories, save when perchance in our rambles over our fertile fields or luxuriant pastures we pick up an occasional flint dart, arrow head, or stone ax, when it is easy to picture to our imagination this vast domain, as peopled with dusky warriors and their families; dotted with Indian villages; resounding to the howl of the wolf or the whoop of the £tiU more savage red skin. The grasping avarice of the pale face, and the baneful influence of fire-Water have dene their work, and done it thoroughly, if not well. (to be continued.)

Pardon him at once, or else our Democratic brethren will have no Presidential candidate. Gen. Packard of LaPorte has been appointed internal revenue agent. Our Democratic exchanges are urging a thorough organization of their party everywhere. None know the benefit of organization better than our opponents, and in this respect only can Republicans learn wisdom from the Democrats. The next Republican National Convention for the nomination of candidates for President and Vice President of the United States is to be held in Cincinnati, on the 14th day of June, 1876. Indiana will be entitled to thirty delegates,
