HELPED PERRY WIN VICTORY
That Served So Well in the
Fight on Lake Erie.

When Commodore Perry defeated
the British on Lake Erie, his gunners
turned the trick largely with home
made cannon balls, although at the
time Of the engagement the place
where the deadly missiles were made
was closely guarded secret.
Accidental discovery a few days ago
of n small antiquated iron furnace
near Steubenville, however, reveals
the secret and adds a new chapter TO
the historical sketches of Perry's vic
tory. The furnace was found by men
engaged in erecting furnaces for
large West Virginia steel company on
the Tarr farm in Hancock county,
West Virginia, directly across the
river from Steubenvllle. II is said to
have been the first from fIrnace in
use this side of the Allegheny noun
talns, and to have been built by Peter
Tarr, one of the earliest settlers
along the eastern banks of the Ohio
river.
Old records in Hancock county
show that Peter Tarr worked day and
night at his secret task of making
cannon balls from ore deposits found
in the hiIIsdes about the furnace and
that he sent them overland on mules
TO Commodore Perry's forces hiding
near Putin Bay and Kelley's island. |
awaiting an opportune time TO. strike
the decisive blow at the British naval |
forces.

ColdI--Sure.

of Terre Haute made an all-day hike
along the Wabash. They were de.
scribing the hike for the benefit Of
some of their most interested friends.
They had described the city blasts
from the river, the frozen ground and
the various sensations produced on
their spinal columns without winning
what they regarded sufficient sympa-
thy from their listeners. Just as they
we're most disappointed their execu-
tive took part. "Why it was so cold
that we had to break the ice off the
