Subsequent Troubles.
The next war had a serio comic
phase. There had been some uncer-
tainty in establishing the northern
boundary of Ohio when the State was
organized. From the very first it had
been expected that great city would
rise at or near Toledo, and when the
canals were planned to connect Lake
Erie with the Ohio River, by the way
of the Wabash and Maumee Rivers,
Michigan aspired TO have control of the
mouth of the canals near Toledo, and
asserted her sovereignty over that strip
of territory Tho State of Ohio resist

took possession Of the steamer from
Detroit when she reached Maiden, ran
on to Put-in-Bay, where they captured
and sunk a steamer from Toledo, and
then struck out for Johnson'S Island,
where they expected to find the Michi-

miscarricd, and the raiders ran their
boat back to Maiden. where they dis

IN THE BEGINNING.
Toledo Is Not Yet I'm It's Hundredth
Year of Settlement.

Toledo was officially recognized as a
community in 1885. when the County of
Lucas was organized by the Legislature
of Ohio. and Toledo was designated as
the seat of justice. The name Toledo
was suggested by James Irving Browne
in a meeting. in 1893. of the citizens of
the towns of Port Lawrence and Vistula
to consider the question of consolidat-
ing the interests of two rival municipali-
ties
Human nature was about the same
in early days as now: the pioneers were
ambitious and rival towns sprang up
along the Maumee. From a map made
in 1896 there appeared on the west
bank of the river. in succession, Maui

directly for the British fleet, and was
soon engaged with the whole of 1t, as
the light wind did not enable the other
vessels to come to his assistance. At
least this is the allegation. and it be-
came the subject of a bitter feud be-
tween Perry and Capt. Elliott, his next
in command. 1t was claimed that the
Niagara. which Elliott commanded, was
the fastest saiicr in the squadron. and
could have been easily brought up. In
Il short time the Lawrence was battered
into hopeless wreck, when Perry, TAX
ing his battle flag with him, went to the
Niagara, which he brought up with the
rest of the fleet. sending Elliott to take
command of the smaller vessels and
bring them into action. He ran the
Niagara thru the British line. sweeping
the opposing ships with doublc-shotted
guns as he passed them. His other Off

within eight minutes had pierced the
