Little Essay
On Portage

| PORTAGE-The county capital, the
jumping off place for dyed. in the-wool
politicians, is the largest town within
the county boundary, and is situated
on little knoll between the Fox and
Wisconsin rivers. 1t is also the home
of Chris Hecker's county fair, the
grounds of which are located 10 feet
below sea level When the water is
high they have motor boat races, and
when the water is low they have aero
plane races, thus giving the people a
run for their money at any stage of
the game. Portage boasts of having
the smallest street car system in the
world, the FUNNIEST courthouse, and
the SWEETEST streets (they are all
swelled out of .shape) and the dandiest
clique of politicians of any town this
side of Tammany Hall. The street
cars made their regular trips between
the St. Paul and 500 6e2ots, and they
stop so long It each terminal that the
motorman has to be awakened by the
patrons of the line before they can get
t.leir nickel's worth of ride but when
they do getit, they get it quick. The
courthouse is old and rickety, and not
more than twice the size of the depot
at Lake George. Efforts have been
made in the past few years to secure

Orleans, in that it has a river that
overfows it's banks every so often. At
these times, the residents of the First

travelling in gondolas. Portage is pa
tr ed night and day by one of the
sarewdest police forces outside of

| cannot conscientiously stop at
this point and leave the impression
that William McCloud was a plain
murderer. My people knew these
families personally and thought they
were good citizens There were two
families-William and Robert Mac
Cloud. They located in the town of
Buna Vista in 1845, having removed
from their old home in Hardin coun-
ty, Ohio. They purchased land near
MuscOda which lad been settled for
a short the. lie land was pur-
chased without lirst having seen it
and when they arrived they were
dissatisf cd ana " ent to Bear Creek,
in the town of Buna Vista, on the
east bank of Bear Creek, where they
proceeded to be some agriculturists
Besides farming they represented an
Ohio firm who purchased furs, there
being numerous otter, mink, martin,
bear and other fur bearing animals.
Robert MacCloud was the general
agent and had men out in different
parts Of the country who travelled
as far as St. Paul.
In the spring of 1916 the MacClouds
we're in the northern part of the
county for a few days and when they
received word that the Indians had
become troublesome, they returned
home Immediately and took part. In
the first skirmish four Indians were

in person and after an investigation
upheld the settlers in their action,

constant warfare between them for

Indians the MacClouds put to sleep
VIII probably never be known.
There are several stories as to the
cause of the antipathy for the In
dams. One is that the Indians stole
the little daughter CT William Mac
Cloud, and after that they would
shoot an Indian upon sight; their
aim being unerring, an Indian drop

1t may be interesting to know of
the earlier history of these MacClouds
They were sons Of Judge William
MacClOud who was a p oneer in Hard.

counties of Ohio, and according to
the available records the family was
one that had the respect of all. The
