A FORGOTTEN HERO.
Mai. George Croghan's Repulse of
the British in an Early
Ohio stockade.

1t is noteworthy that the reputation
of our great soldiers was in every
case built up of long as well as bril-
liant service. In no case has it, been
the result of any single deed, however
heroic. In fact, others have per-
formed single deeds of heroism sur
passing in brilliancy, perhaps, any
single deed of any of these great SOL
ders. In such cases, as a rule, these
heroes are known only to the reader
Of abstruse history. A single in
stance will serve to Illustrate:
just where the town in Ohio per-
petuating the name of the first re-
publican candidate for the presidency,
and the home of more successful
subsequent candidate for that high
office, is now situated, was a wretched
stockade called Fort Stephenson. Its
armament consisted of one gun and
a garrison of 100 men, commanded by
Maj George Croghan, a young officer
of 22 He was born not far from
Louisville, KY, in 1901, and came of
fighting stock, for his father had been
an officer in the continental army,
and his mother was sister of George
Rogers Clark. Graduating from Will
liam and Mary college in 1910, he en-
tered the army, was in the battle of
Tippecanoe in 1911, and 81 year later
was made captain in the Seventeenth
infantry. With this rank he served
under Harrison in 1912 and 1913, and
so distinguished himself in a sortie
from Fort Meigs that he was appoint
ed aid-de-camp with the rank of ma
jor, and assigned to the defense of
Fort Stephenson. Lest Tecumseh and
the Indians who were coming across
country from Fort Meigs should make
flank attack, Harrison had author
lied Croghan to burn the fort and re-
treat. This he did not do. "We are
determined to maintain this place.
he said, land by heaven we will" Har-
rison thereupon dispatched an officer
to relieve him. But Croghan went to
headquarters carried his point, and
when, on August /. the English COM
mander summoned HIM to surrender,
sent back stout defiance. The next
day the bombardment began, and to-
ward afternoon the assault was or
dcred. The English soldiers, in three
columns of 1870 men each, were to at
tack three sides. The Indians were
to storm the fourth; but as they
came out of the woods into the open
a steady and well-directed fire from
the fort drove them back The Brit
ish troops, thus left to fight alone,
came on bravely to the very gates,
made every possible effort to get into
the fort for two hours. and then re-
treated with all of the officers and
one-ffth of the men killed. wounded
or missing. The wave OF enthusiasm
which rolled over the country as the
result OF this victory equaied any
thing of the kind seen in our day, but

After the latest arrival at the regu-

taken off her wraps, and while the

called to order, the latest arrival
who reads the daily papers and keeps

attending her first meeting.

was born in Canada and has leanings

deliberately poured a can of kerosene
on his little sister, aged four, yester-

with match just to see her burn. The
screams Of the child soon attracted
the attention of her parents who rush

and succeeded in putting out the flames
before she was burned to death. The
mother reached her first and tearing
the burning clothing from the child
saved her life, but not before mother

The father was SO enraged at the oc-
currence that he seized the little boy
and started with him at once to the DO

but was prevented from doing so by
the neighbors, who were attracted by
the screams of the little girl The only
reason that can be given for the boy S
conduct is that he wanted to see her

There are hits and hits, buT the nit which
Sherlock Holmes scored last night ut the

with which DR.. Doyle himself has had
very little to do, Mr.. Gillette furnishing
plot incident and almost all in the play
except the idea of the world famous and
ideal detective. 1t bristles from end to
end with Gillette's own points. It will
thrill anyone who still possesses a spinal

you in suspense. From the rise of the
first curtain to the fall of the final one
