Kenton. who had been known by that name
during Duumore's war, when he was Gistv's
companion and friend. They had been boon
companions ana bosom friends. Glrty's sur-
prise at hearing the name of his Old friend

ford. This was one of the most inhuman
deeds ever performed By mankind. G.rty.

dians was Colonel Crawford. who was
marched to the chief town OF the Wyaudot-
tes. which he reachee on the 11th OF June.
Here preparations were made for burning
him. He was stripped naked and beaten
with clubs. When tie preparations were
completed, CrawfOrd's 5 hands we're tied be-
hind his back, and his wrists were bound 10
the stake. The pile was fred in several
places, and the quick fame curled into tbs
air. GiTty took no part in these operations.
but sat upon his horse at long distance,
Observing them with malignant satisfaction.
