for all the settlers OF that section Of
the Monongahela valley.
When alarms were sounded that the
Indians were rising and were about
to raid this territory, the settlers and
their families would flee to the fort
which is said to have afforded them
splendid protection.
1t is presumed that this fort was
rectangular In shape the outside walls
being In part cabins joined to each
other by a stockade composed OF
strong heavy logs set on end In the
ground and in contact with each other.
The outer walls of these cabins were
from ten TO twelve feet high with
roofs sloping inward. The doors of the
cabins opened into common square
or court. This was the character OF
the usual frontier forts and 1t is pre-
sumed this one was not disimiliar to
the others.
1t was during an Indian uprising
when the settlers were housed in the
fort that Isaac Prickett, a pioneer.
was killed by the Indians in the sum-
mer of 1774 and companion, a Mrs.
OK, was captured by the Indians and
never heard from. These two were
out of the fort tending TO some cattle
when they were attacked.
The site Of the murder of Prickett
and the capture Of Mrs. Ok is located
on the Brady Meredith farm on the
east side of the river a short distance
from the tunnel OF the Monongahela
railroad. A pine tree which marked
the spot where this tragedy is said to
have occurred was destroyed when
the tunnel was excavated for.
The celebrated encounter of David
Morgan, another Of the early settlers
with pack Of Indians took place about
one mile back Of this fort and a monu.
ment marks the spot where Ale en-
counter was had.
Near this historic spot is located
the grave of Charity Taylor. wife of
Josiah Prickett, said to have been the
first white woman to cross the Allie
gheny mountains.
David Morgan whose encounter with
the Indians is too well known to re-
quire telling lived and died on his
farm just opposite the site of this his
toric fort.
In the year 1878 a party of Indians
raided the home OF William Morgan,
relative of David, whose home was
located on the Dunkard bottom OF
Cheat river and after killing several
of the members OF his family took his
wife and an infant child captive. On
their way to their camp with theif vic

was only further evidence OF the
versatility OF the folks that are on
their second week OF the most pleas

ever shown. We have yet to hear an
tnfavorable criticism Of any Of the
bills. Naturally some like one DILL
better than the other, but all agree
that all the bills are good, and that is
unusual. OF course Billy Malone in the
Irish character is perfectly natural
taking the part without forcing or

seen In the part of the dashing young
man barely out OF Juvenile parts, is
cast In the bill as an aged, but we'll

the manner in witch he wears the
broad brimmed hat, struts a cane and
cuts his weed is mighty true TO the
part. Anna Cooke and Dick Butler
take care of the black parts and they
are both character artists of extraor-
binary talent. Dick didn't do any
thing but walk on the stage, and the
audience nearly tumbled out OF their
seats with Laughter. He held the show
up for five minutes, and in the song
number and dance he and his clever
partner were called back until they
were out OF breath. vi Shaeffer whose

Lew Mack really has good voice and
his Navy number requires Just little
more Of 1t than does most OF his num-

a little occasionally and this is
welcome opportunity. Fern Delacy's
entrance was the occasion OF an out
