ley, but as the Indians swept by the
battered array of waxen notabilities
and noted the cheerful invulnorability
of their unprecedented foes, panic
fell upon them. II was not repulse,
Il was an utter rout. and with wild
howl OF superstitious terror, they ned
in disorder over the knoll and disap-
peared.
After an anxious interval, Prof. Tod
hunter ventured to reconnoiter the top
Of the knoll. Nothing was to be seen
save a cloud of dust rapidly receding
into the north. The marvels Of Tod
hunters Great Moral Wax Works had
been too much for the savage mind.
And when their owner and exhibitor
turned and beheld them, his heart, too,
almost failed him.
But the managerial mind is full OF
resources, and nothing in California
that fall made such hit as Todhunt-
er's Great Moral Wax Works, pierced
by the arrows of the hostile red-man,"
as the bills announced, more profitable
in such dllapidation than ever before.
With the few figures that had escaped
lamage artfully impaled by the spare
arrows collected from the battlefield,
The layout made 4 terrific picture Of
savage ferocity. And Sam told the
story Of the fight nightly to crowded
houses at advanced rates, with their
silent corroboration, and when asked
about the Indians, used to say, to great
laughter and applause, that he didn't
believe they had stopped running yet.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1912-02-09

seized upon the post Of greatest hon
or, behind the bulging calves OF the
Father OF His Country. Thus far, all
these preparations had been screened
by the knoll from the sight of the ap-
preaching Indians, who, hoping to in
stantly terrorize the three lonely driv-
ers into submission, came galloping
over the rise at full speed, and were
taken wholly by surprise by the ap-
pearance of these unexpected rein
forcements. AS they swerved sharp
ly on the down slope they let fly
shower Of arrows at their waxen op-
ponents, and received in reply a volley
that made one good Indian" and
partly made another. George Wash
ington, by his attorney, the disciple Of
Comanche Dick, fired the first shot,
with a result that would have been a
credit to either hero, and Sam was
proudly conscious Of having made a
, successful debut as an Indian fighter.
The professor cautioned his men to
lie low and await their opponents sec
ond attack and when the Indians again
charged round the knoll they were
met with a second deadly volley BY
this time the wax works presented a
curious spectacle. An arrow had torn
through the calm countenance Of
Shakespeare, lending to his features
the appearance of a derisive smile;
but he had not so much as winked.
Oliver Cromwell had received three
arrows through his heart and had lost
an ear, but had suffered no abatement
of his truculent mien. as was, perhaps,
not unnatural. George Washington,
as the ostensible leader of the de-
fense, had been given especial atten-
tion and resembled nothing so much
as a human pin-cushion. Like the
rest, he bore his hurts with an
easy nonchalance. The spectacle they
afforded of heroic endurance and SUI
pernatural vitality would have stag
gered the most intelligent beholder;
to a superstitious savage, it was sim
ply appalling.
Loading as quickly as possible, the
little garrison awaited the next on
slaught, which proved to be a flank
movement. Hastily shifting their po-
sitions, the well-masked quartet
checked this advance with a third vol

OIL GLIDES UP
ON SHUTDOWN
Wiltshire lleraldl


The sever, ,'pd weather OF the past
month has caused almost complete
shutdown of the oil business in Ohio,
Indiana, and Illinois. Many of the
leases will b0 shut down until spring,
as the lead lines and gas lines are
frozen and they are under ground from
10 to lS inches, which will mean a
great loss to the producer. Present
conditions have not occurred in the his
tory of the oil industry.
The Chattanooga field, with all the
modern appliances for producing oil,
and men with experience, have been
tied up for several weeks, with the ex-
coption of two or three leases, and will
not produce over 600 barrel of oil this
month"; drop of 250O barrels.
The shutdown has also affected the
market, which has advanced lOc.,
making North Lima oil 92c., South
Lima oil S7c., Indiana oil SIC.
The well recently drilled in by the
Ohio Consolidated oil Co., on the f.
d. Nor rison farm, section 26, Black
township, Mercer County is proving up
good. IL started pumping at a rate OF
100 barrels per day, but owing to de-
lay in getting pipe line laid to the tank
and the cold weather, the well has not
been operated regularly. But with all
these draw backs it has produced four
tanks of oil in January, and has caus-
ed quit. stir in that locality.
The same company has three stakes
struck and material on the ground to
start drilling AS soon as the weather
permits.
The Ohio oil Co. has leased up about
700 acres in this district since the Nor
rison we'll was completed.

THE RELIABLE CLOTHING & SHOE HOUSE

back until the escaping garrison had
passed through The council could not
agree upon a mode of action. Floyd
decided to give it up, turned the COM
mand over to Pillow and took his own
brigade out by boats. Pillow went
away. leaving Buckner to share the
hopeless fate of the garrison. Forrest
said that he would go out If it was
only to save one man. A creek with
swampy borders extended from the
river close to the fort along the front
Of Grants lines on the flank. For
rest told his men of this swamp and
gave them their choice to ford it or
stay and be taken prisoners in the
morning. About 500 of his Tennessee
troopers agreed to follow their leader
wherever he went, and they escaped
by riding through the swamp with the
water reaching their saddle skirts.
Unconditional Surrender Demanded.
Grant intended to push the fight on
the morning of the 10th and capture
the fort by storm if it did not haul
down the flag. 1t was in this spirit
that he received before daylight the
10Th a letter from General Buckner,
written after Floyd and Pillow had
abandoned him to his fate. The letter
asked for an armistice until - o'clock
noon. Buckner had said at the coun-
ell of war before he wrote to Grant
that the troops of the garrison in DON
elson had no fight in them. Some were
already helpless from the cold. Grants
reply to the note was just suited to the
temper of things in Donelson. 1t was
as follows:
Headquarters Army in the Field.
Camp Near Donelson, Feb. lG, 1862.
General S. 3. Buckner, Confederate Army:
Sir-Yours Of this date proposing an ar
mistice and appointment Of commissioners
to settle upon terms of capitulation is just
received No terms except an uncondi-
tional surrender can be accepted. l pro-
pose to move Immediately upon your
works
l am, sir, very respectfully your ob't
se'vt, U. S. GRANT,
Brigadier General.
Meanwhile Buckner had sent notice
to his troops on the front line that he
had made a proposition to the enemy
to surrender the fort and asked them
to notify the Federal troops in front in

THE MEANEST MAN
ON EARTH

The meanest man on earth is said TO
he a farmer who lives in Kansas. He
sold his son-in-law one-half COW,
and then refused to divide tho milk,
maintaining that he sold only the
front half. The buyer was also re-
quired 10 provide the feed the cow
consumed, and compelled to caery wa
ter to her three times a day. Recently
the COW hooked the old man, and now
he is suing the son-in-law for
damages.
