Angus Corbly's Captivity

A Story of Early Indian Life Northwest of 9 9

BY A WRITER J3F MARSHALL COUNTY.,

ClIAITEU 0. CAPTURED RY THE INDIANS. (Contisiuatlou) Elenip hastened to the camp of his own family or clan and related whaj he had seen. All of them knew the boy personally or by good report and it was at once agreed that his life should be spared. By the custom of Indians any one of them had the right to claim a captive as a slave or to adopt him as a member of the family, so Elenip, with his clan behind him, hurried back to the scene of festivity where they sought out the captor and master of the prisoner and set up their claim, though not without an offer of compensation. A horn of powder was the price agreed upon and delivered and Elenip again entered the circle of dancers, this time with a firm tread and stately air, wherein a loud voice he proclaimed the captive as his young brother and announced an intention to take him home and make a great hunter and warrior of him. There had been so much bloodshed and the bov was so vounsr that very little grumbling greeted this speech of Elenip, who now unloosed V.l.-. ...-.V.l ! n m Vinnen rtllinrr i,im 111 lltiuumi pmvua.Tv, ivmug in his name and purpose as he did so, and that night Angus, though guard ed, slept among friends. They gave him a name in their own language meaning Shining Red Hair and told him that he was Elenip's little brother and that he would become a great chief, but that if he should attempt j to escape he would be severely punished and become a slave.

lot would be made easier if he would strive in every way to please these forest rovers who had adopted him. lie was shrewd enough also, this Scotch lad, to know that by exhibiting a gentle and tractable disposition, such as he possessed by nature.liis'opportunity for escape might be more favorable. The annihilation of Braddock's expedition did not end the wa-r, complete as it was. The movement against Du Quesne was but a part of a vast plan by which the English hoped by a series of sudden and crushing blows, all struck at once, to destroy the power of the French in America utterly and forever. While Braddock himself was to wipe out the frontier forts from Lake Erie to the Ohio river and the Alleghany mountains, tlee other important operations were to be conducted. Colonel Monkton was sent against Acadia, which he easily and quickly reduced, transporting seven thousand of the unfortunate inhabitants, crowded in ships like African slaves, to distant British provinces. General Johnson was charged with an assaint upon Grown Toint, in which he failed though in September he fought and won the brilliant battle of Lake George. The third point of attack was the fort at Niagara, which, however, was never reached by the division launched against it, and to the support of this fortress all the French troops and Indian allies that could be spared from Pennsylvania were hurried. The camp at Du Quesne was abandoned and band after band, in endless procession, passed up the river by Venango and Le Boeuf to Presqu' Isle and thence to the great falls. Several tribes were sent in other directions, some toward Detroit and others down the Ohio, the tribe to which Elenip belonged being among tho latter. A few days after the events attending the adoption of Shining Red Hair he and his new relatives embarked in a little Hotilla of deep-ladon canoes and floated down the blue sunny bom a. 1 .1'i'.ftniT 1 rft TT Hille SOm 01 UlS uuiu, peering into the dark depths of the unbroken forests that came to the very margin of the - stream, Vid at night drawing into the mouth of some ond mmnincr. on the bank. And so, after some days of quiet and uneventful travel down the peaceful current of the beautiful Ohio, they came one afternoon to the mouth of a lar ger tributary than any they had yet passed, the shimmering flood of the Muskingum, the river that drains the fertile plain of the 'middle basin T of Ohio, and they drew up their ainocs on the'bank where a generation later General Rufus Putnam was so pleased with the prospect that he founded there the fair city of Marietta. . The Muskingum valley was the western limit o Ahe hunting grounds of the Delaware tribes, in the valley of the c-tcra territorial limit of the -great

They were to spread the intelligence that the English had been forever subjugated by the French king, who would send presents to his children of the woods and that he would chastise severely any of his children who should listen to the "bad birds" sent out by the defeated English to give them wrong information. They were also to prevent the passage of any English people down the Ohio or through the country and they were encouraged to believe that English scalps had a very high market value at the French forts. It was far too late in the season to plant corn, as they usually did in the spring, but the newly-arrived Indians were under no necessitv to do so, for they were promised ample provisions by their white allies, so they set leisurely to work building a village of nuts on alevel plateau overlooking the great river. Their t rude and frail affairs wigwams were constructed of poles stuck in the ground and tied together at the top, with strips of hickory bark, the covering being of large sheets of thick bark or mats made of woven tlags from the swamps These were set up without regard to lines or distances, but near the center of 'the village thev built a larger and more substantial cabin of small loirs 1 covered with bark for use as a council i house and for gatherings in stormy weather and also with some regard to its Possible service as a sort of fort, well behind a fortification, preferring their own strategy of fighting each for himself under cover of t rees and rocks, w here they could pass easily from one protection to another or get into the open as occasion might require. Having completed their village and stored their goods and baggage the little tribe or clan left it in charge of some of the old men and scattered in small bands up the river and its tributaries to explore the country while waiting for their squaws and families, who were expected to arrive soon from the Susquehanna region. Angus accompanied Elenip and rive or six companions into the interior. His sunny temper and willing heait had won the friendship of all and his knowledge of the rough life of the woods and facil ity in learning the Indian tongue add ed to the esteem in which he was held. His new friends began to regard him as a young brave of great promise and their kindly attentions increased accordinjrlv. In their wanderings they found many villages, some abandoned and ruined while otl.ers were occupied bv the families of those who were away to fight the English, and these had fields of grow ing corn. The old men and the few young warriors thus left behind listened eagerly to the story of the blood already shed and that which was yet to flow. The excitable young fellows would dance rill night after hearing the news and were with difficulty restrained from rushing off to join their brethren in tho war. At that time there were no white people in the Muskingum valley except a very few mild, patient, intrepid French missionaries and occasionally a wild and reckless coureur de bois, the latter some times having with him an Indian wife. One afternoon the little party of rovers, then far up toward Sandusky, came to a village larger than any of the others they had seen, and found several visitors from neighboring villages, among them being a considerable number of fighting men. They found there also a s small number of braves just returped from Sandusky with the talk of the French still sounding in their ears and when Elenip's band came in and it was learned that they had actually seen the great battle and taken part in it the excitement became intense. A great feast was prepared by the squaws while the men gathered about the new-comers in fevered and fascinated groups, eagerly drinking in every new phase of the recital, and when night had come and great fires lighted up the uncouth wigwams and cast weird shadows in the forest the naked bucks began a wild and awful dance. Shouting and leaping in circles, about the fire, smearing themselves with grease from the kettles, chanting boastfully of the brave deeds they had done-or expectjed to do. ges ticulating fiercely withi knives, clubs or tomahawks in representation of

dealing the death blow to an enemy or tearing his bloody scalp from his head, they whooped and stamped until they were frenzied and delirious with rage and valor. The old men, who at first expostulated against the war-dance, joined the squaws and children in a wide circle about the dancers and s.l calmlv smoking or commenting among themselves upon the situation. "While this scene was progressing the white lad sat quietly on the ground at a little distance quaking with vague fear, though he knew of no reason to be alarmed for his own safetv. Suddenly one of the more

violent among the dancers leaped high in the air, brandishing his tomahawk, and screamed "The English! the English!" then ran with long bounds out of the fire-lit - circle, his companions momentarily breathless and silent but at once more excited and vehe ment than before. The import of the frantic young buck 's impetuous movement was not apparent until he bounded back into the firelight dragging Angus by the hair and still shrieking, "Ti e English! the English!" Elenip sprang to his ward, followed by his companions, and a struggle ensued for the possession of the boy, all shouting, gesticulating and threatening. Some of the old men took part in the defence of the boy, and urged that he belonged to those who had brought him there and were guests at the feast and that Indians ought not to raise bad blood among themselves, but the answer was, "Why should we suffer an English voice to be heard among us when they are trying to steal our lands and kill our friends?" Argument being useless and resistance out of the question Elenip and his friends withdrew with dark looks and mutteid threats and retired into the forest, leaving ShiningRedllair to the fate they saw no possibility of Intercepting. The insult rankled in their breasts as they pressed on down the margin of the stream, afterwards known as White Woman's creek, toward the Muskingum and. the village at its mouth. The lad's tormentors with many painful cuffs, compelled him to sing and dance by the fire, then at a signal threw themselves into two lines, five or six yards separated, and forced him to run between the ranks. The hideous monsters Hogged him with green switches as he ran, beat him with clubs and threw sand in his eyes, laughing and jelling like fiends in the flare of the flames, and at last struck him to the ground with the handle of a tomahawk just as he finished his race. Bruised, bleeding, hopeless and unresisting, he did not crv out or murmur but in m his heart he prayed that the coming torture might not be prolonged and the image of his fond and tender mother rose before his mind to sustain him. The voung savages were now ready jor another sort of mirth. While some amused themselves by knocking him about and throwing him from one to another, so that he was jarred until it seemed that every joint was dislocated and every muscle strained, others quickly placed four stakes in the ground and fastened four poles on their tops in a sort of frame. This completed he was dragged to it, his head knocking along the ground, and bound face up with his legs and arms extended, to the poles, at such a height that a fire built beneath him would be a long time in consuming him. A small, slow fire was then kindled directly under him, his clothing having been removed. The flame did not reach him but his skin began to blister, and not even then, confronted by death in a most awful form, did the brave, lad even so much as whimper. Then a strange thing happened. Above the tumultuous whooping there burst an abrupt shriek and a young squaw rushed to the victim's side and tore away the flaming fuel, pleading for his life. She was the widowed daughter of a Mohican chief and had come with a small party from their village about twenty miles distant to visit their Delaware friends. Her baby boy had also died and her heart was very sore. The uncomplaining suffering of the poor white boy before her was more than she could endure and she begged her father to redeem and adopt him. "My kind father," she implored, "why let this poor stranger be killed? He is young and alone and can do no harm. It is better that you should let me. nurse him to strength and tenderly care for him aDd teach him our ways, for then he may some time do you a great service." , The stern chief was silent for a short time amid the angry objections of the blood-thirsty brood, then he yielded and called for their attention. "What are we doing?" he exclaimed, "Have bad birds whispered in our ears and made us cowards? I see no firewater at this feast and know we have not lost our senses by strong drink. Come, shall we tell 'our children and they tell theirs that Delawares and Caughnewagas and Mohicans stole a little, helpless boy from our red brothers and put him to death like a great warrior captured in battle? Brothers, hear my words. We

are lost for want of counsel to keep us in the right path. It is dark about me and I hold down mv head in shame. Warriors, we will take the bloody path and stain our clothes with blood, but let us not go forth to our fathers, the French, dishonored and ashamed. Let us behave like men and it shall not be said of us that we are cowards for being stained with the blood of a boy, not of a warrior. Let me take this bov to mv lodge for mv bercf ü daughter's comfort, else let us smear our breasts with the blood of a rabbit and eat a rabbit's heart to fill us with courage for the battle." This crafty appeal went straight to the hearts of the young men and they slunk away in humiliation, while the old men applauded the Mohican's words. The young squaw unbound the half-dead boy and took him to the lodge she was occupying, where she bathed and dressed his wounds and put him comfortably to sleep upon a pile of soft skins she had brought for her own bed. The following day the visitors all left the village, the Mohicans returning to their own village with Angus limping painfully but bravely in their little company. The fruitful farms of Licking county and the pretty village of Johnstown now occupy the land where the Mohicans had their little community and fields of corn when Angus Corbly became a Mohican by adoption in the year of 1755. (TO BE CONTINCED.r OUR NAVY DEPARTMENT BUYS DRY DOCK OF SPAIN

'Washington, D. C, July. 19 The navy department has purchased the big floating steel dry dock, which lies in Havana harbor, from the government of Spain for $185, 000. The negotiations for the purchase of tho dock were closed by Commander Lucien Young, captain of the port at Havana. The original price at which the dock was offered by the Spanish government was 8250,000. It' is stated by tho chief naval constructor that the dock has been in constant use. Whether the dock will be allowed to remain where it is or will be taken elsewhere is a matter that has not yet been determined. The Lemly board originally reported that something over $200,000 would be required to put it in perfect condition. But this estimate is now considered excessive. Naval Constructor Gilmore will leave for Havana shortly to make a careful examination of the condition of the dock. He will be accompanied by an expert from theNex York navy yard, and it is hoped that the regular crew which will oe placed upon the dock will be able to put it in order without largely increasing the expenditures for its regular maintenance. The purchase price i low, the old negotiations based upon a price above $250,000. STORM AT INDIANAPOLIS Indianapolis, July 18. A rainstorm that amounted to almost a cloudburst, accompanied by terrific lightning and thunder and a strong west wind, occurred near the Warren township school house, on the Greenfield electric line, about four o'clock yesterday afternoon. At least eight inches of water fell and hundreds of acres of corn are flooded so badly that the yield will be very small. The corn stood over four feet and now it lies flat on the i ground. Unusually heavy rain fell from Irvington to the school bouse and the district is badly flooded In many fields the water stands four inches deep. THE CARGO EXPLODED Toronto. Ohio, July 18. A boatload of nitroglycerin exploded in mid river about a mile below town at 8 o'clock last night. The owner of the boat had just returned to it after a visit to a fishing camp on . Brown's Island when the explosion occurred. No trace of the boat or man was left. A nümber of men in the fishing camp were badly stunned. The nitroglycerin was being taken to the oil fields below. It is thought the boat -struck a rock in shooting the rapids.

NEW RECORD IN TROTTING

Mile in 2:05 Flat at Detroit by Cresecus. Detroit, July 10. Cresceus, the chestnut stallion owned and driven by George H. Ketcham, of Toledo, in winning the f ree-for-al: trot on the Detroit Driving club's track at Grosse Pointe yesterday afternoon, went the second heat in 2:05 flat, the fastest time ever made in a trotting race. . Charlie Herr, the brown stallion owned by David Cahill, of Lexington, Ky., and driven by Kelly, was the only opponent in this race, and he was a slow second. Cresceus won the first heat by five lengths in 2:06f the fastest heat trotted this year until he broke the world's race record for trotters in the next heat. Cresceus drew the pole for the first heat of the free-for-all, and the word was given as they scored down for the second time. Both were going steady as clockwork. Cresceus drew ahead of Charley Herr until, as they flashed by the quarter, the brown was three lengths behind Cresceus increased his lead until it was five lengths at the wire. The Toledo horse was greeted with great applause as his grooms led him to the paddock after the heat. The pair was sent off to a splendid start for the second heat and Ketcham immediately began putting daylight between his sulky and Charley Herr's nose. The breeze had practically died out and all conditions were perfect for a record performance. The quarter and ha1 J were each a quarter of a second slower than in the previous heat but at the three-quarters Cresceus was a half second faster than the preceding heat. Then came the fastest quarter of the afternoon. Turning up the stretch and trotting like a machine the chestnut went the distance in thirty seconds flat. When Ketcham dismounted from his sulky he was congratulated on every hand by. those in the judges' stand and about the track. As Cresceus was led back to his stable he was greeted with cheers from all parts of the crowded grand stand. Following is the time by quarters: ' First heat-:30tf. 1:02, 1:354, 2:06. Second heat-;30ü, 1:02V4, 1:33,2:C5. The other events were drawno it and tiresome. PROMULGATION OF NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS. Washington, D. C, July 19. Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden has issued a circular notice to all postmasters calling special attention to the order making radical changes hi the kind of publications allowed admission as second-class mail matter. It says that postmast ers may be held on their official bonds for revenue lost to the department through improper application or faulty administration of these regulations. The pound rate of postage, it says, is a special privilege at the public expense, and the department will restrict the privilege to those publications which are fairly within the contemplation of law and properly meet the requirement. Owing to the material changes of practice which will be necessary by some publishers and news agents, the department, where it is inequitable, will not enforce the new regulations immediately but in no case will extension of time be granted beyond Oct. 1, 1901. The excess of copies printed of any publication (50 per cent of the issue), over the number, necessary to supply the legitimate list of subscribers may be sent as sample copies to induce new subscribers or advertising patronage, but all sample copies must be properly so marked on the exposed face of the publication or on the wrapper. - Ue Allen's Foot Ease.
