sought by the United States army officers
on important occasions.
The following account of the rescue of a
very worthy woman who had been cap
tured by the Indian Is from the pen of
the gallant General Woodward, who
risked his life to save her;
In 1916 and 1917 the Florida Indians
were doing mischief, and the government
found 1t necessary to keep troops quar-
tered on the borders of that state. Fort
Scott and Fort Huse were erected to
protect the settlers in Early county, Geor-
gia That was then new and thinly
settled country The command of the
troops was given to Colonel Arbuckle,
and he had frequent skirmishes with the
Indians under the control of Chitto-Fan-
na-Chula, which means In the Indian Ian
guage Old Snake Bone, but gfherally
known to the whites as Old We-he-
Mathla. General Twiggs was then brevet
major In the Seventh regiment OF infantry
and was always the foremost In those
sl1irmshes. Supplies for the troops had
to be carried from New Orleans and Mo-

very fine looking man. had gone with
the troops by land. The boat, having
to be propelled by oars and poles. was
long on the trip. and by this time the
war had completely opened.
The old, hostile Creeks, from various
portions of Florida, were engaged In 1t,
among others the two chiefs who were
subsequently, hanged at St. Marks. Fla.
namely, Josiah Francis, tho prophet. and

and opposite thick canebrake. the con-
cealed Indians fired on them, killing and
wounding most of those on board at the
first fire. Those not disabled made the
best fight they could, but all on board
were killed except Mrs Stuart and two
soldiers. They were both wounded, but
made their escape by swimming to the
opposite shore. One of the brave men
who lost his life, was Sergeant Mcintosh,

seekaboo to say to Tecumseh that the
Indians and the whites were at peace and
had been for years; that the Creek In
dams were doing well, and that 1t would
be q bad policy for the Creeks, at least,
to take sides either with the Americans
or English in the event of a war, and
that when the English held sway over
the country they were equally as OPP
pressive as the Americans had been, If
not more so; and in the American Rev
olution the Americans were but few in
number, but they had triumphed and
were now very strong, and II their safety
and best interests were to be consulted,
the Indians, In a choice between the two
white nations, had better join the Amer
leans.
After this talk Tecumseh left for his
northern home, and prevailed upon Seek
aboo to remain, with one or two others of
his party, among the Creek Indians"
During the year 1878, Tecumseh was
killed at the battle Of the Thames. He
was man of great intellect and I'M
daunted courage. He had peculiar halt
in walking, caused by one of his legs
being a little shorter than the other and
the foot on that leg much smaller at the
Battle Of the Thames, October 5, 1918, the
Indians rallied around Teoumseh and
fought with desperate bravery. His body
was much mangled with wounds and not
fully identified until General Harrison,
who had known him, visited tho spot
where ne lay dead.
Beyond doubt the Creek nation and
many other Indian tribes were the VIC
tins Of foreign men opposed to the Amer
lean government, and designing business
men Of the white race who had long con-
trolled their trade and from the profits
on their merchandise had amassed large
fortunes and lived in luxurious surround
ings, caring but little for the Indian in
his humble cabin or wigwam. But for
such fatal influence the Indians would
have submitted to the rule of the ma
tional government at Washington and

said that few years before the war
white man came from Pensacola to Tuck
abatchy and remained some time with
the Big Warrior. The white wan was a
European and he thought a Scotchman;
that he never knew the mans business,
nor did he ever learn: that all the talks
between this man and the Big War
rior were carried on through negro
interpreter that belonged to the War
rior and that he (Weatherford) had seen
the man several times and heard him ask
how many warriors he thought the
Creeks could raise. The man disappeared
from the nation and In a short time Tus-
kenea, son of the Big Warrior, and his
confidential agent took a trip to the
Wabash and visited several tribes, among
them being the Shawnees or Sowanokas,
who were former residents on the Sa-
vannah river, in Georgia. (This trip Tus-
kenea did make for have often heard
him speak of It, and have seen some
women of the Hopungiesas and Shawnees
that he brought back with him to the
Creek nation.) Not long after his return
Tecumseh, with the prophet Seekaboo
and others made their appearance at the
Tuckabatchy town. A talk was put out
by the Big Warrior and Weatherford
and Sam Moniac attended the talk. lAt
the present time this would be called
cabinet meeting.) No white man was al
lowed to be present Tecumseh stated
the object of his mission; that II 1t could
he erected the Creek Indians could re-
cover all the country the whites had
taken from them, and that the British
would protect them in their rights. This
was in the year 1871. Sam Moniac was
the first to oppose Tecumseh's talk, and
said that the talk was a bad one, and
that Tecumseh had better leave the state
as they sometimes called the nation.
The Big Warrior seemed inclined to take
the talk. The interview was carried on
through Seekaboo, who spoke English
quite well. After Moniac had finished
his speech Weatherford then said to

ground, 1t being q dense thicset, and
kept the party that first attacked at bay
until General Mcintosh arrived with the

Indians, Mcintosh was q general indeed,
I could hear his voice above the din of
firearms: Save the white wonlanl Save

this time Mrs. Stuart was between the
fires Of the combatants. Mcintosh said

with some Uchees and Creeks, and found
her squatted In the Law-palmetto among

by a group of Indian women. The fight
continued until we had secured her and
dispersed tho 1ndians; then we took her
safely into camp.
