which had been landed from the Brit

out serious effect. They were answered

of ammunition was small, and Maj.
Croghan determined to- use This powder
and ball to better advantagedthan firing
at random in the darka, Heisilenced the
gun, and ordered Capt. Hunter, his
second in command, TO place 1t in the
blockhouse at the middle of the north
side of the fort, so as to rake the
ditch in the direction of the northwest
angle, the point where the foe would
doubtless make the assault, it being the
weakest part. This was accomplished
before daylight. and the gun, loaded
with a half charge of powder and a
double charge of slugs and grapeshot,
was completely :masked.s-e
During the night the British had
dragged three six-pounders to a point
of woods in ground higher than the
fort, and about ESQ yards from it, (near
the spot where the courthouse in FIR
mont now stands, westward of Croghan
street,, and early in the morning they
opened a brisk fire upon the stock
ade from these and the howitZer. Their
cannonade produced but little effect, and
for many hours the little garrison made
no reply. Proctor became Impatient.
That long day in August was rapidly
passing away, and he saw before him
only a dreary night of futile effort In his
present position. His Indians were be-
coming uneasy. and at length he resolv-
ed to Storm the fort AT O'Clock in
the afternoon he concentrated the fire OF
all his guns upon the the weak north
west angle. His suspected purpose was
now apparent. Toward that weak point
Croghan directed his strengthening eff
forts. Bags of sand and sacks of flour
were piled against the pickets there. and
the force of the cannonade was mate

the works. At the same time party of
grenadiers, about 200 strong, under
Lieut.-Col. Warburton, took a wide cir
cult thru the woods to make a feigned
attack upon the southern front of the
fort, where Capt. Hunter and his party
were stationed. Private Brown, of the
Petersburg Volunteers, with half a
dozen of his corps and Pittsburg Blues,
happened to he in the fort at the time.

"At 4 o'clock that afternoon the
British gunboats, with Proctor and his
men. appeared at a tUrn 10 the river
more than mile distant. In the face
of shots from the six-pounder they adj
vanced. and, in a cove not quite a
mile from the fort, the British landed,
with a nd-ahalf-inch howitzer,
opposite a small island in the stream.
At the same time the Indians depIoyed
themselves in the woods in all direc-
| tons, to cut off retreat of the gar
rison.
Gen. Proctor entered Immediately
upon the business of his errand. His
attacking force consisted of a portion
of the 41St regiment, 400 strong, and
several hundred Indians. Tecumtha,
with almost 1000 more, was stationed
upon the roads leading from Fort Meigs
and Seneca Town, to intercept appre-
hended achievements from those direc-
tions.
Having disposed Of his forces so as
to cut off Croghan's retreat, Gen.
Proctor sent Col. Elliott. accompanied
by Capt. Chambers, with a flag OF
truce, to demand the instant surrender
of the fort. These officers were accom-
panied by Capt Dixon, of the Royal
Engineers, who was in command of
the Indian allies.
MdJ. STOSHdn sent out second Lieut.
Shipp as his representative to meet
the flag. After the usual salutations,
Col Elliott said:. Il am instructed to
demand the instant surrender of the
fort, to spare the effusion of blood,
which we can not do should we be
under the necessity of reducing it by

man as you, and as your commander Is
represented to be, should fall into the
hands of the savages. Sir, for Gods
sake, surrender. and prevent the dread

HAS TWO WIVES
Leslie N. Brown, Once an Alma
Resident, in Serious Trouble.
sPRAGUE UMC0VERs BIG CASE
Browns Second Wife Forest Hill CIrl.-De.
serted First Wife In 1906.

Last Friday, undersheiff Sprague,
went to Durand and arrested Leslie Nj.
Brown. a former Alma man, wanted for
wife desertion in Bay City. Later de-
velopments, however, indicate Brown
will have to face the much more serious
charge of bigany.
Several weeks ago Chief of Police
Murphy of Bay City notified Sheriff
Sprague that charge was pending
against Brown alleging lie deserted his
wife in that city in December 1906.
Murphy had been able to trace him to
Alma and asked that Sprague take up
the case here. The latter found that
Brown came here to live in December
1907 and that he had since moved to
Durand where he was employed as FORE
man on the Grand Trunk railroad.
Then it was that it developed Brown
had married again. On December Is,
1eo7, he, and Florence Davidson of
Forest Hill went TO Ithaca, and, after
procuring hCcnec, WSht poioAS ouuSo
l, S. Seaver and were married. They
came to Alma and lived here until this
spring when they moved to Durand.
Friday night a special officer came on
from Bay City and took Brown to that
city On Tearing that Brown was marri-
ed he minated that the charge Of wife
desertion would probably be withdrawn
and that of bigamy substituted instead
Florence Davidson is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Davidson, who live
about three miles west of Forest Hill.
Much sympathy is expressed for her
unfortunate predicament. Friday was
the first time she learned of Brown per
fidy.

WAS A NARROW ESCAPE.
Chet Walker Has a Close Gall With Death
Monday.

Chet Walker had a very narrow escape
from a serious mishap Monday. Chet is
weighing clerk at the sugar factory and
had occasion to go to the Ann Arbor
freight depot off Wright avenue. Near
the depot is a crossing over the track.
AS he rode up to the crossing oil his
wheel he noticed a freight car which
stood close to the crossing, but he could
not see that directly behind it was the
Ann Arbor switch engine.
Just as he reached the crossing the
engine started. The end of the car
struck the front wheel of the bicycle
smashing it, bat BY most fortunate
occurrence Walker was thrown length
wise beside the track instead of across it.
To the onlookers it seemed certain he
must meet death and it was g great
surprise TO all that he escaped I'M
harmed. The wheel was wrecked. II
is customary TO have fiagman on this
crossing but in this instance the flag
man was Oh the freight platform indul-
ging in little by-play.
