TOM HIGGINS GREATEST FIGHT
WITH THE INDIANS

Tom Higgins was a noted Illinois
ranger during the War of 1912. One
morning near Fort Hills the Indians
ambushed Toms company and killed
several of them. AS they fled to the
fort, Higgins stayed behind, vOwing
that he would get at least one Indian
before he retreated He got his In
dian, but just as he was preparing to
mount his horse, Ranger Burgess, who
was lying on the ground wounded,
called out to him: You won't leave
me to the Indians, will you, Tom"
Higgins stopped and attempted to
lift Burgess onto his horse, but the
frightened animal jerked the reins
from Toms hand and dashed madly
away.
You'll have to try to crawl to the
fort, Burgess said Tom, land | will
stay behind and keep redskins off,"
AS Burgess crawled away, Higgins
ran in another direction to lead the
approaching Indians away from his
wounded cOmrade. In a few minutes
he was surrounded by the savages and
they wounded him in the leg as he fled
into deep ravine. He was nearing
rhe fort when three Indians rose up
before him. One of them fired and
the ranger fell, wounded for the sec
ond time.
With wild yell the Indians rushed
at HIM with .uplifted tomahawks, but
Higgins rose once more and shot one
of them dead. The other two then at
tackled him with spears and toma-
hawks. Tom defended himself with
his knife until he was knocked to the
ground by blow from a tomahawk
which cut off one of his ears.
Finally the ranger tore a spear from
the grasp of one Of the Indians and
thrust 1t through the body Of the 9TH
err. He was pulled to his feet as the
savage fell. The surviving warrior re-
treated toward his rifle and Tom, I'M
daunted by his wounds, staggered aft
er him. The unequal combat had been
seen by the people in the fort, but they
were afraid to come to his assistance
until brave woman, named Mrs.
Pursley, cried out: 81 will not see
such a brave man dieW
She sprang upon horse and started
TO Higgins aid. Shamed by her ex-
ample, several men galloped after her.
They reached the ranger just as
large party of Indians were ready to
swoop down upon him. They threw
Higgins, faintlng from loss of blood,
across u horse and carried him back
to the fort in safety.
Higgins did not recover from his
wounds for many years, but in his old
age he was given pension for his
heroic act and was made doorkeeper
IA the state assembly at Vandoiia.

Stories of
Great Scouts
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
(0. 1921, Western Newspaper Union)
THE EXPLOIT OF PIONEER
SCOUT ANDREW POE ~'

Andrew and Adam Poe, two broth
ers, were scouts in the pioneer days
of Ohio. One day when the Poe
brothers were leading a party. on the
trail of a band of Indians who had
raided the settlements, they left their
men to try to locate the savages. The
brothers became separated On. the
bank of a river Andrew came upon a
giant WyandOt chief and smaller
Indian who were standing with their
rifles cooked but looking in another
direction.
POes rifle missed fire when he shot
at the chief and the Indians at once
discovered him. Before they could
shoot, the scout sprang upon them,
Selling both around the neck. The
small Indian jerked loose first and
while the chief held Poe, his COM
panion tried to get in a death blow
with his tOmahawk. Andrew allowed
him to come close. Then with one
mighty kick he planted his foot in the
Indians stomach, hurting him back
ward and knocking the Ratchet from
his hand.
When the little Indian got his breath
back and recovered his tomahawk, he
advanced to the attack again and sue
ceeded in wOunding Poe in the arm.
A second later the scout pulled him
self from the grasp of the chief, seized
one of the Indians guns and shot the
warrior as he advanced to attack hita
third time. Poe was no longer fight
ing against odds and he Immediately
attacked the chief.
The ground was wet and slippery.
In another moment the Indian and the
white man, locked in each others
arms, fell into the water and each be-
gan trying to drown the other. Final
ly Poe seized his enemy by the scalp
lock and held his head under water
until he believed the chief was dead.
When he released his hold, however,
the redskin renewed the struggle. BY
this time they were fighting in deep
water. Seemingly at the same time
both thought of the one loaded rifle on
the shore and both started to swim to
get it. The Indian was the better
swimmer and reached the bank first.
AS the chief picked up the gun, Poe
turned back in the water and began
diving to avoid a bullet. The chief,
however, had picked up an empty gun,
the one with which Andrew had killed
the little Indian, and before the Wyan-
dot could get the loaded weapon,
Adam Poe, who had heard the shot,
came running to his brothers rescue.
He fired and the indian fell dead.

ENGLISH CITY IS
TAXED FOR IDLE
Direct Action Threats 0verawe
the Police Force.
OLD LAW is PUT IN FORCE
People Of Norwich, England, Demand
Support From the Local "Guar-
dans," Who in Turn Put Cost
on Taxes of Town.

London, Jan. l8-Growing serious
ness of the unemployment problem in
Great Britain was emphasized by the
action Of the unemployed in the city of
Norwich in availing themselves Of the
provisions Of the existing poor law and
demanding support from the local
guardians"
ter relief to the needy, charging the
cost upon local taxes.
The guardians" recently decided not
to increase the scale of relief work in
Norwich On the ground that the tax
payers were unable to afford it, but the
chief Of police notified them he had re-
ceived a communication to the effect
that if help was not granted the un-
employed had determined to use "di-
rect action"
"Guardians" Double Taxes.
He declared the police did not desire
any disturbance of public order, and
under this threat the guardians
yielded and doubled the taxes applica-
BILE to feeding the poor. In doing Sc
the chairman of the guardians" re-
marked it was the first time in the his.
tory of the city that the police had
been Overawed by threats from the
unemployed.
The burden thus placed upon the
ditiOnal taxes will result in house
holder who pays an annual rent of f6(
paying more than f72 in taxes. The
people of Norwich declare it is impos
sible for them to pay such taxes, as
trade is stagnant
The action of the unemployed al
Norwich accords with advice persist
emily given by labor leaders and fol
lowed at many places, though with less
serious results than in Norwich. The
Daily Herald, mouthpiece of labor
says:
"Shows Way to Workers."
There is no alternative. The unem'
ployed are determined not to starve
and they have proved that in the poor
law they have weapon to enforce
justice. The increased taxes will be
disastrous to thousands of people, but
will compel the adoption of radical
measures at Norwich, which has shown
the way to workers all over the coun.

FRENCH PLAN PACT PLEA
TO NEW u. S. PRESIDENT
Council Of League Members Discuss
ACCESSIBILITY of Sending Special
Envoy to Washington.

Paris, Jan. 6.-Individual members
of the council of the League of Ma
lions have discussed the ACCESSIBILITY
of sending a special envoy to Mr.. Hard
ing Immediately after his Inauguration
to urge upon him the difficulties which
European countries would experience
in setting up new form of association
Of nations.
Their principal grounds are that the
covenant is part of the treaty which
gives the league administration over
the Saar valley the Danzig region and
number of mandates and plebiscites.
The view is held among members of
the French ministry that the solidity
of the treaty itself would be shaken if
the league part of it were abandoned.
This has led to a growing conviction
among the principal allied powers that
the league should be kept going in
some form, but not necessarily as now
constituted, the ACCESSIBILITY of revision
OF the covenant being quite generally
recognized
1t is considered here that an under
standing on the future form of the
league could be more readily reached
ii representative Of the council were
to discuss the subject directly with Mr..
Harding.
Confidence is expressed here that IL
direct discussion eliminated from the
covenant all that is Objectionable to
the United States, the Presidentselect
would not insist on the abandonment
of the organization.
