KNIFE EMBEDDED IN A TREE.
~ Il Supposed 60 he One That KILLED
nm Indian More Than
Century Ago.

The finding of knife that killed an
Indian IFS years ago was recently
made under rather curious cireum-
stances. While saving logs on the
Reynolds and Meteer mill, at Hartman,
Randolph county, w. Va, the saw
came In contact with hard substance.
On examination IL was found that the
saw had struck knife that was im-
beddcd In log 10 a depth of lis years
growth. and which is supposed TO have
been there li5 years.
Jackson Summerville. an aged citi-
zen OF Hartman, says the knife is ex-
actly like the one which his father
often described TO him when. as
boy, be used TO listen TO him tell about
the narrow escape he had at the hands
of the Indians. His father was fleeing
from band of Indians one night, but
was oyertaken by one of them on top
OF mountain, when a terrific haud-to-
hand encounter ensued. Summeryille
succeeded in killing the Indian with a
knife. II was late at night, and. not
knowing which way TO go for safety,
he stuck the knife in tree and hid I'M
I'll morning, and then forgot the knife
until he had travelled a long distance.
The tree In which the knife was found
wns taken from the mountain where
the Indian was killed.
The knife viii be deposited with the
State Historical society, together with
a statement Of the circumstances of
its discovery.
