SIMON KENToN, THE AMERI.
CAN MAZEPPA
q, Western Newspaper Union. :

Second only to the name Of Daniel
Boone-whose life he once saved-is
written in the annals of Kentucky the
name Of Simon Kenton. Kenton was
a Virginian who served as 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.
ploits there soon won for him the un-
dying hatred OF the Indians and no
less than eight times he was captured
by them and sentenced to DEATH.
In l778 Kenton with two ,compan-
ions went north into Ohio to spy upon
q tribe at war with the whites. While
returning, they came upon herd Of
Indian horses. The ,Kentuckians re-
solved to1take some of the animals
along as trophies Of the successful ex-
petition. The Indians quickly discov-
erred the theft and overlook the scouts
just before they crossed the Ohio
river. s.
One Of the :Kentuckians was killed,
another escaped but Kenton was taken
prisoner.
'.You steal .1njun hoss?" they taunt-
ed;hfm. ''Al1 right, we give you ride
on him!''
So they tied the scout on Wild
young horse and set it 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 sSY;warriors, armed with clubs and
hatchets, and reached the council
house, his goal, almost untouched.
Near Zanesheld preparatio 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. s SIS
His. freedom was short lived. Three
weeks later the Indians: again voted
{ to put him to death. Again he was
ssa&ed BY "a friend Chief Logan, the
noted, orator Of the -Cayugas.. When
the Sandsky towns were reached, the
Indians held q council and once more
decreed the death penalty. Kenton
was tied to. the stake. Just as the
torch was being applied, q British Of.
