The combat which followed was the

made It impossible to distinguish
friend from foe, the brave backwoods
men fought hand to hand with the

muskets of the whites were almos,
useless, except as clubs, and the bat

4 4 LAFAYETTE. Ind. Nov. 6! To-day
was the s6th anniversary OK the batus
Of Tippecanoe, the greatest In that
long serlesof struggles for supremacy
between the pnleface settlers Of the
thin new west and the redskin abor,.
gines. Many patriotic people to.ua.
paid pilgrimmages to the, historic spot
where, IN 1911, William Henry Hal.
rison broke the power OF Tecumseu 5
great confederhry Of the northwestern
tribes and won that military fame that
lateriled to the presidency. A move
ment will soon be set on foot to cele.
brate. in a fitting manner, the centen
NAL Of the battle four years hence.
The battle ground Is eight miles
from Lafayette and Is owned by the
state Of Indiana. 1t is surrounded by
an iron fence. and over the arched en-
trance Is the single Inscription: "Bat.
tie Of Tippecanoe, November Z. 1911
An appropriation has been made by
the State Of Indiana to provide for the
erection Of suitable monument to
those early heroes who took part in
the memorable battle.
Aside from the iron fence. the battle
ground presents to-day almost the
same scene Of idyllic and rustic beau
ty as 1t did ninety.six years ago. AL
though a trolley line extends from the
city Of Lafayette to the grounds. and
there are other evidences Of American
progress In the vicinity, the ground It
self Is very much as described by Har
rison in 1911: &
"a piece Of dry oak land rising
about ten feet above the level OF q
marshy prairie in front, toward the
town Of the prophet, and nearly twice
that height above n similar prairie in
the rear, through which runs small
stream known as Burnett's creek, Dor
dered by willows and brushwood."
1t was to this point that William
Henry Harrison, then governor OF In
diana territory, marched with his
troops from Vincennes, then a rude
fort with few log huts and dignifled
by the name OF territorial capital. An
through the summer OF 1911 Governor
Harrison had been receiving from his
scouts wild rumors of terrible in
