SIMON KENYON, THE AMERI.
CAN MAZEPPA

Second only to the name of Daniel
BoOne-whose life he once saved-is
written in the annals of Kentucky the
name of Simon Kentou. Kenton was
a Yirginian who served as a scout in
Lord Dunmore's war shortly before
the outbreak of the Revolution and
who crossed over the mountains into
the Ozark and Bloody Ground" of Ken
lucky in search of adventure. His ex-
PLOTS there soon won for him the I'M
dying hatred of the Indians and no
less than eight times he was captured
by them and sentenced to death.
In 177S Kenton with two cOmpan-
ions went north into Ohio to spy upon
a tribe at war with the whites. While
returning, they came upon a herd of
Indian horses. The K~entuckians re-
solved to take some of the animals
along as trophies of the successful ex-
petition. The Indians quickly discov-
cred the theft and overlook the scouts
Just before they crossed the Ohio
river.
One of the Kentuchians al killed,
another escaped but Kenton was taken
prisoner.
"You steal Injun hoss?' they taunt-
ed him. "All right, we give you ride
on him !"
So they tied the scout on a wild
young horse and set II free in the for
est. He finally was taken from the
horses back more dead than alive.
At the first village the Indians
reached, they condemned the scout to
run the gantlet. When the signal was
given, Kenton sprang through the line
of warriors, armed with clubs and
hatchets, and reached the council
house, his goal, almost untouched,
Near Zanesfield preparations were
made to burn him at the stake, but the
arrival of Simon Girty, the white
renegade" who recognized Kenton as
an old friend, saved him.
His freedom was short-lived. Three
weeks later the Indians again voted
to put him to death. Again he was
saved by a friend-Chief Logan, the
noted orator of the Cayugas. When
the Sandsky towns were reached, the
Indians held a council and once
decreed the death penalty. Kenton
was tied to the stake. Just as the
torch was being applied, a British Of
fcer appeared and demanded the sur
render of their prisoner to his COM
mander at Detroit.
KentOn was kept captive in Detroit
until 1779. when through the aid of an
Indian traders wife he escaped to
kentucky where he died in 1886.

DANIEL BOONE, THE GREAT
KENTUCKIAN


Daniel Boone was the son of Quaker
parents who lived in Pennsylvania. AL.
though the principal doctrine in the
Quaker creed is that man must moi
kill, Daniel departed from the faith OF
his fathers early and he became one
American history.
When Boone was eighteen his par
ents moved to North Carolina and in
the Yadkin valley of that state, young
Boone became an expert woodsman
and hunter. Attracted by the tales Of
a hunter who had crossed the Appa-
lachians into the unknown Kentucky
country, Boone visited the Blue Grass
state several times until he finally de-
cided to make that country his home.
In 1775 he established BoOnesbOrough,
the first outpost of civilization in the
Ozark and Bloody Ground" as Ken
lucky was called because it was a bat
tlegrOund for many tribes Of Indians.
Boone's adventures with the Indians
in his new home were innumerable. In
177S he was captured by the Shaw
nees, who admired the scouts courage
so much that he was not put to death.
Instead Chief Black Fish adopted him,
giving him the name of Big Turtle
rather an inappropriate title for a man
SO active. Boone pretended to be we'll
pleased with his captivity and after
several months the watchfulness of
the savages relaxed. Then he made
his escape.
Several years later this same band
of Shawnees came to Boonesborough
to kidnap their former captive. They
found Boone in a little shanty used
for drying tobacco.
Now Boone, we got you" said the
Indians. You no get away this time"
Eyes, you have me but l am glad to
go with you," replied the scout. but
want my friends to have some of this
tobacco"
He gathered up a number of the
dryest leaves and, unsee by the In
dams, crushed them in his hands. Be
fore they could move, he threw the
powdered tobacco into their eyes. As
the blinded savages rolled on the floor
bowling and digging at their eyes, the
former big Turtle" showed unex-
pected speed and was far up the trail
to the fort before they could pursue
him.
In his later years Boone was cheat
ed out OF the rich Kentucky lands he
had fought so hard to win and he mi
grated to Missouri, becoming a hunter
once more. He died there in 1920 at
the age Of eighty-six. A quarter of a
century later Kentucky paid him be
lated honor by removing his body to
the capital of the state and today Dam
tel Boone sleeps in the land where he
won fame as a pioneer and scout.

Battle Over Corbin City
The Bethlehem Steel Corporation was
the principal objector to the passage
of Senator Whites bill for the incor-
poration of Corbin City borough out Of
a part of Weymouth township, Atlantic
county, at the public hearing given by
the committee on boroughs and town
ships. The new borough would take in
one-quarter of the population Of Wey-
mouth township, or about 23S people.
1t would have total ratables of $780,
416. Ralph Harcourt appeared in ia
vor of the measure.
John Stewart appeared as the repre-
sentative of the Bethlehem corporation,
which owns about 5000 acres of land
in the proposed borough limits, where
its wartime proving ground, known
as BelcOville, was established. Mr..
Harcourt held that there are not
enough ratables to justify the forma-
ton of the borough.
Big bakery concerns were strong
ly arrayed against Assemblywoman
Laird's bill, intended TO fix a standard
weight for loaves of bread, at a hear
ing before the House Committee on
Health. Mrs. Laird and a number of
other women interested in welfare
work urged favorable report upon the
measure in the interest of the pur-
chasing public. Counsel for the Ameri-
can Bakers Association claimed that
the bakers themselves can best regu-

tom has fixed the standard.
