HISTORIC SPOT VISITED.

Fort lie Hitler, one of the historical
spots of the county, was the objective
point of an automobile touring party
from Mankato yesterday. The fort
which is situated a short distance this
side of Red Jacket bridge, is one of
the Oldest of early day relics in the
state. After visiting the fort those in
the party had picnic supper in
Pearson's Grove. A permanent club
was formed with Judge Lorin Cray
as president, and during the summer
trips will be taken to other historic
spots in the county. Judge Cray gave
an interesting historical sketch of the
old fort, telling of it's origin in 100
by LIE Sueur, the French explorer
LIE Sueur and twenty-fi five men came
up the Mississippi river in a shallop
and when they reached this section
of the state early in October they
found the river frozen and were un
able to proceed farther. They pro-
ceeded to build fort on the high
elevation of land acrUSs the Red
Jacket road from where the Olinger's
farmhouse now stands, about half a
mile north of the Red Jacket bridge
While half of the men of lie Sueur's
party were engaged in building the
fort the other half went out hunting
and killed four hundred buffalo, which
the party lived on during the winter
| although they had no salt with which
to season the meat. But they cult
! vatcJ q taste for buffalo meat and
grew fat and hearty. The fort was to
serve them as protection against
the Indians, it being estimated that
there were about 22,60O families OF
| Indians in the Mississippi valley al
that time. The Indians appeared to
| be friendly, but seven Canadians, who
had come south hunting and trapping
were robbed of all they possessed by
some of the Indians and sought refuge
! at the fort, where LIE Sueur and his
party entertained them all winter. Ir
! the spring lie Sueur and some of hic
/ men took some of the green clay they
| had dug one half a mile west of the
Jones Ford bridge, and which they
| thought was copper ore. and returned
! to France. The others remained al
the fort, but in the spring three oil
the men were killed by the Indians
and the others went south There
were about twenty five people in the
touring party yesterday. including G.
NJ Palmer and family, Dr. ]. w. An
drews and family. Attorney Thos
| Hughes and family; w. A Streatol
and family. Judge and Mrs. Lorir
Cray and party, and E. F. Soaring and
family. Next week trip will be
made to the old treaty grounds al

J sketch of the place will be given BY

Most Of the time he played from mem.
