SHAM BATTLE is
DECIDED SUCCESS
Presentation of Outdoor Tableau by
Moline Red Men and National
Guard Meets Approval
1900 PEOPLE WITNESS CONFLICT
Exercises In the Afternoon Are Feat
ured by Drill Work Of Boy Scouts
and Balloon Ascension.

An event Of 100 years ago was re-
produced on Campbeu's island last eve
ming when members of King Philip
tribe, No. "a, Moline, and Companies
A. and F., /. n. G., engaged in sham
battle which gave realistic illustration
of how Lieutenant John Campbell and
his little band OF men fought with In
dams in the days before white man had
settled here The outdoor tabIeau was
enacted before more than 1000 people.
The Moline Red Men during the sum
mer have put forth much effort to
bring about the presentation of the
sham battle. They were directed by
| ". A. Meese. A committee Of Red Men
mapped out the plan Of attack and
/ erected the cabin boat which played an
| important part in the event.
A concert at 2 in the afternoon by
/ the Crescent band of Moline started
| the activities of the day. Then John
/ II. Hauberg. a member Of the Rock Is
land County Historical society, de-
livered the address Of the day. He
spoke Of the history Of Campbells is
/ land and told especially of the events
which they were to witness during the
/ evening. His address was interesting
and concise. Il made the evenings
entertainment much clearer to all.
Drill work put on by Mr. Hauberg's
band of Boy Scouts was one of the
features OF the afternoon. The lads
/ are organized into both a band and
scout tribe and furnished music in ad-
dition to their military drill work.
Ed Dalton made a successful ascen-
sion with his balloon. He remained in
the air a little more than ten minutes.
The sham battle, however. was the
/ big event of the day. Presentation of
the outdoor drama started soon after

Companies A and F, L y. c.. boldly
entered the cabin boat a little way be

their ride to doom. The boat started

council Of war was held by the IN
dams.
Meanwhile Captains Willis and Dun
avin instructed their men to build a
fire on the shore. This was done and
furnished illumination for the evening.
There were also several torches in
/ the trees which assisted the spectators
in viewing the activities.
When the paIefaces had apparently
settled for the night and all looked
peaceful on the river front a blood
curdling yell was heard to rent the
air, followed by another and another
The attack began in earnest then and
both Indians and whites could be seen
falling in all directions. Finally the
soldiers were driven back to the wa

killed met death in the cold silent
