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 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
with his tomahawk. Andrew allowed
him to come close. Then with one
mighty kick he planted his foot i'm 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 him
a 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 I'm each others
arms, fell into the water and each be-
gan trying TO drown tile 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 i'm deep
water. Seemingly at the same time
both thought of the one loaded rifle on
the shore and both started TO swim to
get IL. The Indian was the better
swimmer and reached the bank first.
As the chief picked up the gun. Poe
turned back I'm the water and began
diving to avoid a bullet. The chief,
however, had picked up an empty gun.

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 fred and the Indian fell dead.

CAPTAIN SAM BRADY AND HIS
FAMOUS LEAP


Capt. Sam Brady was a member OF
a fighting family which made history
on the Pennsylvania border during the
Indian wars after the Revolution
Captain Brady's greatests exploit took
place In Ohio. He had been captured
by the Indians apd carried to the San.
dusky Towns, headquarters for all the
Ohio tribes, where the savages pre-
pared to burn him at the stake.
He was stripped, bound to post
and slow fires kindled around him, for
the Indians hated him so much that
. they wished to torture him as long as
possible. Brady was powerful man
and he strained at his letters until
they were loosened slightly. Then
with final effort he snapped the last
bond, leaped across the barrier of
flame and, selling a squaw, pitched
her into the fire.
Before the Indians could recover
from their surprise, the scout escaped
from the village and plunged into the
woods, holly pursued by hundreds of
savages. Finally he came to the
Cuyahoga river, near the present site
of Kent in Portage county.
At this place the river flowed be-
tween steep, rocky banks, % feet
across from side TO side. The scout
was trapped. There was no other place
for miles up and down the river where
he could ford it. The Indians were
closing i'm on him and his only chance
of escape was to try to leap across the
chasm.
Brady could hear the savages yell
ing I'm the woods only short distance
away as he ran back toward them to
get q good start. Then turning, he
sped for the brink and putting all his
failing strength into final squirt, he
sprang for the opposite cliff. His
jump was little short and he struck
the bank a few feet below the edge.
The Indians stopped in amazement,
then as the scout scrambled up over
the edge, they opened fire.
They wounded him in the leg, delay
ing his flight, and I'm short time were
on his heels again. He came to lake
and plunged in. STOPPING beneath the
broad pads of a water lily, he breathed
through a hollow reed while the saw
ages hunted in vain on the shores of
the lake They found his bloody trail
to the waters edge and, believing that
he had drowned rather than be cap
tured again, gave up the chase.
Soon afterward Brady reached Fort
Pitt in safety. He had many more
thrilling adventures before his death
on Christmas day, 1895, but his 22-foOt
leap across the Cuyahoga was the
greatest feat of all.

bruised and worthless.

thing you had thrown away,

ing the tree to think over what he had
said.

TOM HIGGINS GREATEST FIGHT
WITH THE INDIANS

Tom Higgins was 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 I'm the leg as he fled
into deep ravine. Ne was nearing
the fort when three Indians rose up
before him. One of them fired and
the ranger fell, wounded for the sec
Ond time.
With a 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 ii through the body of the 9th
er. He was pulled to his feet as the
savage fell. The surviving warrior re-
treated toward his rifle and Tom, un-
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 brave man die"
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 a
large party of Indians were ready to
swoop down upon him. They threw
Higgins, fainting from loss of blood,
across a horse and carried him back
to the fort i'm safety.
Higgins did not recover from his
wounds for many years, but i'm his old
age he was given a pension for his
heroic act and was made doorkeeper

MAJOR SAM McCULLOUGH'S
LEAP FOR LIFE

Fort Henry was a little stockade
built for the protection of the settlers
of West Virginia against the British
and Indians during the War of the
Revolution. II stood on the Ohio
river near the present site of Wheel
ing. In the summer of 1777 when Ii
was besieged by a strong force of saw
ages, Maj. Sam Mccullough, noted
border leader, left Fort Pitt at the
head Of 40 men TO raise the siege.
Coming in sight of the fort, McCul-
lOugh's men made a dash for the gates
and passed through them in safety, al
though the Indians made desperate
effort TO cut them off. Major McCul-
Tough held back to cover the retreat
of his men until they were safely with
in its walls and delayed so long that
the redskins succeeded in getting be-
tween him and the fort.
Setting spurs to his horse, the
ranger leader dashed for a hill back
of the fort. At its top he met another
band Of Indians and at the same time
q third group approached him from
another direction. The Indians were
now on three sides of him. On the
other was high precipice projecting
over Wheeling creek, 300 feet below.
The ranger was cornered.
The Indians raised a yell of triumph
as they closed In on him. But When
they saw Mccullough turn his horse
toward the cliff, they stopped IN
amaZement.
Urging his horse to dead run, the
scout dashed toward the precipice. At
the brink of the ohasm he drove homie
the spurs and as his mount flew into
the air braced himself In the saddle
The first leap was clear drop of 80
feet, but both horse and rider were
uninjured as they landed on the steep
bank. Then slipping and sliding for
25O feet more, they came to the creek
bottom.
AS the Indians rushed to the edge
of the precipice expecting to see the
crushed forms of horse and man far
below, they were astonished at the
sight of the major, still upright In the
saddle, plunging into the creek ana
riding up the other side to safety.
Within few hours he was back at
Fort Pitt, organizing a larger expedi-
ton to march to Fort Henry.
Five years later as Major McCul-
Tough and his brother were riding
along a road near Van Metres fort,
unsuspecting danger, they rode direct
iy into an Indian ambush. This time
McCullough's horsemanship could do
him no good A dozen Indian rife
shots rang out and Sam Mccullough
