CAPTAIN SAM BRADY AND HIS
FAMOUS LEAP

Capt. Sam Brady was a member Of
fighting 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 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 kiHdled around him, for
the Indians hated him so much that
they wished to torture him as long as
possible. Brady was a 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
fame 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-
tweep steep, rocky banks. % feet
across FROM side to side. The scout
was trappeds There was no other place
for miles up and down the river where
he could ford it. 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 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 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 water lily, he breathed
through 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 DC 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, 1875. but his 22-foot
leap across the Cuyahoga was the
greatest feat Of al.

MUSCLE SHOALS

It looks like congress is
jockeying with the Muscle
Shoals project. and as a reas-
on that the proposition of
Henry Ford can not be ac-
cepted, the question of title
is being raised. The attempt
is made to scare the people
and to bluff Mr.. Ford. On
the title question, the Nash
vile Tennesseean of Sunday
spoke plainly in these words:
1T has been claimed that the
Government can not give a title
to his property. 1t is unnecessary
for the layman to bother his
brain with the fine points of
law that might be raised nrder
this proposition. 1t is sufficient
for him to call to his mind that
this government of ours has the
unaisputed right to take over and
condemn property in which it has
not the slightest title. 1t has the
right to condemn and acquire ev-
cry foot of real estate owned by
the; Alabama Power Company in
the United States. 1t has the
power even to condemn the SER
vices of an individual, in times
of n4thlic danger, and to conscript
him and set its own compeDsa-
ton for his services.

SON from the farm and send him

escape the service, the penalty is
death and dishonor. But when
the farmer desires that a man be
allowed to lease a plant that the
government has abandoned, at a
rental of over two millions of dol
lars annually, and to make cheap
fertilizers for the benefit of the
farmer, Congress solemnly finds
that it's hands are tied and it is
beyond the power of this great
government to make the con-
tract
