MAJOR SAM MecULLOUGH'S
LEAP FOR LIFE

Fort Henry was little stockade
built for the protection Of the settlers
Of West Virginia against the British
and Indians during the War Of the
Revolution. 1t stood on the Ohio
river near the present site of Wheel
ing In the summer of 1T77 when 1t
was besieged by strong force of say
ages. Maj. Sam Mccullough, a noted
border leader, left Fort Pitt at the
head Of 40 men to raise the siege.
Coming In sight of the fort, McCui-
lough's men made 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 hill back
of the fort. At its top he met another
band OF Indians and at the same time
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, 800 feet below.
The ranger was cornered.
The indians raised 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 chasm he drove honfe
the spurs and as his mount flew into
the air braced himself In the saddle.
The first leap was clear drop OF 90
feet, but both horse and rider were
nn!njured as they landed ON the steep
hank. Then slipping and sliding for
go 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 a few hours he was back a,

ton TO march TO Fort Henry.

CAPTAIN SAM BRADY AND HIS
FAMOUS LEAP
Q, Western Newspaper Union.

Capt Sam Brady was member of
lighting family which made history
on the Pennsylvania border during the
Indian wars after the Revolution.
Captain Brady's greatest exploit took
place In Ohio. He had been captured
by the Indians ard carried to the San
dusky Towns, headquarters for all the
Ohio tribes, where the savages pre-
pnred TO burn him at the stake.
lie was stripped, bound to q post
and slow fires kindled around him, for
the Indians hated him SO much that
they wished to torture him as long MS
possible. Brady was q 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 squaw, pitched
her into the fire,
Before the Indians could recover
from their surprise. the scout escaped
from the village and plunged int the
woods, holly pursued by hundreds Of
sayages. Finally he came 10 the
Cuyahoga river, near the present site
OF Kent In Portage county.
At this place the river flowed be-
tween steep, rocky banks. 20 feet
across from side to side. The scout
was trapped. There was no other place
Cor miles up and down the river where
lie could ford 1t. The Indians were
closing in on him and his only chance
Of escape was to try to leap across the
chasm,
Brady could hear the savages yell
ing in 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 a final squirt, he
Sprang for the opposite elf. His
jump was little short and he struck
the bank 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 in 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 hollow reed while the say
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 For
Pitt In safety. He had many more
thrilling adventures before his dealt
on Christmas day, 1875, but his 22-foo
leap across the Cuyahoga was thu
greatest feat OF all.

CIIIROPRACTIC

Anatomical study reveals the fact that
the nerves which 60 to specific parts
OF the body branch off from the spinal
cord at certain definite points. These
nerves control the actions OF these
specific parts. Thus 1t is found that
when wrong condition existed In any
particular part Of the bodily organism,
the reason is to found In displace-
ment of spinal bones at the point
where the nerves going to this partic-
ular part branch forth from the spinal
column.
Chiropractors do not claim to cure,
treat or heal disease They merely
correct wrong conditions of the bodily
machine aud Nature does the real
work Of healing. The work of the
Chiropractor Is In sense, mechanical
he puts the bodily organism In prop
er shape and the body itself cures It
self.

Wyoming from parts of Dakota,
Utah and Idaho, a constitution
Was adopted which gave women
the right TO vote.
There were rumors OF early
Spanish explorations In Wyoming
but they seem unfounded By
fact. Probably the first white
men to visit this part of the
country were Sieur de 10 Veren-
deze, and his sons who passed
through this region In l743 in
search of locations for trading
posts. In 1904 the Yellowstone
WAS first visited by hunters, al
though the fame Of its scenic
beauty, was not given much Gre
dence nntIl 1870 aud It was set
aside as a federal reserve in
1872.
The first permanent fort In
Wyoming was erected in 1884
where the Laramie river flows
into the Platte. Later when the
stream of immigrants passed
through this region on their way
TO the California gold fields a
string Of forts were erected
along the Oregon Trail to pro
tect the travellers from attacks
by the hostile Sioux Indians.
Through Wyoming went moi
only the Oregon Trail which
was opened up by Lieutenant
Fremont and his guide, Kit Car
son, in 1912. but alsos the Salt
Lake Trail. Along these routes
many travellers crosSess Myo-
ming, but few stopped, and set

Wyoming became the forty.
