GENERAL MoRoAN's LAsHEs.

Petallates In Revolution for Whipping
Received In Braddoek's Army.
Copyright 1908 by American Press Association
One Of the most famous and effec-
tive Of the American commanders of
the Revolutionary days was General
Daniel Morgan, whose corps of Border
Rifemen, dressed In the picturesque
uniform of the frontiersman and scout,
were able to make q fine record for
service. The idea of organizing such
body of troopers came to General
Morgan as the result of his forme-
service during the French and Indian
war on the frontier. Morgan was Il
man Of splendid physique. He was Of
no especial promise in his younger
days, being only one of the great mum.
Der Of possible great men who were
scattered along the colonial borders
waiting for the favorable opportunity
which was to bring them out and de-
velop their genius.
Morgan was employed as O team
ster in Braddock's army, but where he
was at the climax of that sorrowful
march does not appear. During his
early life, and probably while engaged
in this service, he had an experience
which he remembered as long as he
lived. The story has been told in sew
eral forms and with a variety of en-
bellishments, but there Is no doubt as
to its essential correctness. 1t is to
the effect that for some real or fan
cied offense Morgan came under the
rigorous discipline of the army and
was punished with a great number OF
lashes with the cat across his bare
back. According to one version he
tainted under the severity of the pun.
ishment. Whatever may be the cor
rect account, it is certain that during
the Revolution General Morgan more
than got even with the British army
in the matter Of lashing, for he used
his rifle corps as merciless scourge.
An interesting remeniscence was
left by the Rev. William Hill, of Win
chester, Va. who was General Nor.
gan's pastor in his later years. He
says:
Upon one occasion, while assisting
in changing his linen. discovered his
back to be covered with scars and
ridges from shoulders to the waist
General said |. what has been the
matter with your back? oh replied
he, that has been the doing of old
King George. When l was in his ser
vice upon a certain occasion he prom
ised to give me 500 lashes But ha
failed in his promise and gave me but
499, so he has been owing me one lash
ever since. While the drummer was
laying them on my back I heard him
miscount. l was counting after him
at the time. | did not think it worth
while to tell him Of his mistake, and
let it co."
The probability is that this is the
correct story, SO far as 1t goes.

The volume of adventure along the
West Virginia and Ohio border con
tains some of the most thrilling chap
ters one could possibly imagine. In
deed, they are more interesting than
the writings of even the most fervi1
makers of the fiction of adventure.
Famous among the names immor.
talized along the old frontier is that
of Lewis Wetzel His life was filled
with most dangerous and startling
events, which today read as if they
were less probable than the greater
part of the fiction which is so popular
Here is one of the chapters of his ca
reer, which serves to show that the
strenuous life is no modern invention
On one occasion Wetzel set out from
his home to go on an extensive hunt
ing expedition. While passing through
the forests he fell in with young
friend who invited him to go home
with him to his cabin. Wetzel ac-
cepted the invitation and they started

mans home they were Mortified 70

all murdered and scalped except one
girl, who had been reared with the
children of the home, and with whom
the young man was deeply in love
Examination of the trail showed that
she had been carried off captive. It
also revealed the fact that the maraud.
ers were three Indians and a white
renegade
The two sorrowful but deeply an
gered hunters set out on the trail.
and In course of time caught up with
the fugitiyeS. They found them at
their ease on the bank of creek, the
girl uninjured but crushed with grief
over the loss of her friends and ap-
prehensive as to her own fate. With
q lovers impetuosity the young man
was for Immediately rushing in and
trying to rescue her, but Wetzel's
cooler judgment restrained him and
they waited till daylight should come
In the morning they marked a man
each and at the first fire the renegad,
and one Of the Indians were killed
The other two Indians sprang into the
woods. Wetzel turned his attention
to them. while the young man. with
drawn knife, 1eaped in to loose the
bonds of his sweetheart Wetzel fred
his rife as q trick. and the two red
skins fell into the trap and gave chase
to him. But he was a master hand at
loading as he ran, and at a most un
expected moment he suddenly turned
and killed his foremost pursuer. Sure
Of his prey the other Indian redoublel
his energy Of pursuit, but before he
could get close enough Wetzel played
him the same trick and killed him
also. Then taking the scalps Of all
four Of the villains who had devastat-
ed the pioneers home, the two aven
