MAJOR SAM McCULLOUGH'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 Wheeling. In the summer of 1777
when it was besieged by strong force of
savages, 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 desp perate effort
to cut them off. Major Mccullough held
back to cover the retreat of his men until
they were safely within its walls and de-
layed so long that the redskins succeeded
in getting between 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 ap-
preached him from another direction. The
Indians were now on three sides of him.
On the other was high precipice pro-
jecting over Wheeling creek, 800 feet be-
low. 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 home the spurs and
as his mount flew into the air braced him
self in the saddle. The first leap was a
clear drop of 50 feet but both horse and
rider were uninjured as they landed on
the steep bank. Then slipping and slid
ing for $50 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 the sight of the
major, still upright in the saddle, plung-
ing into the creek and riding up the other
side to safety. Within a few hours he
was back at Fort Pitt, organizing larger

in the fifth he did not fare so well. Then
on a combination of hits and errors the
locals gathered in four more counters. In
the last frame the visitors made several
shifts in their infeld defense. Dellar went
to short, Nelson behind the bat, Carter to
first and Lennon in the box. The shift,
however, seemed to have but very little
effect upon the locals slugging artists for
a pass on balls and couple of singles
yielded the locals one more counter.
The locals by driving two pitchers to
cover and hitting the third quite freely,
pounded out batting average in
Saturdays game of .433 per cent. Not so
bad for one days showing. AT the same
time their fielding per cent was .7S0, which
was pretty good compared to those awful
errors they made. The thirteen hits they
made consisted of seven singles, three dou-
bles, one triple and two homers that were
equal to twenty-four bases. The visitors
five hits were good for five bases only.

pour of birthstone, fame and lava lasting
for days on end The world was almost
completely razed and destroyed! Beauti-
full cities, vast empires, whole nations with
enormous numbers of inhabitants sue
cumbed to the overwhelming wrath of the
Almighty! The catastrophe was without
precedent! The appalling disaster wrought,
far exceeded the hitherto wild and far
fetched prophecies of Biblical legend
Save a few isolated spots the entire face
of the globe was reduced to smoking
mass of ruins! 80. Came lull in
the Divine anger, and with true Divine
grace He-Eelented. The fiery storm abated
and the heavens poured forth sweet and
succoring rain that purged the earth of the
sitting heat, gases and heavy vapors; put
ting new life into the comparatively few
scattering survivors; instilling the instinct
to live and to prosper. -. A strange
thing happened, as if by mutual assent,
or Divine direction Paragons and Felons
were rejoicing; arm in arm they sang the
praises of the Redeemer! They struck QUE
in unison to exc out an existence. Vice
and selfshness with their kindred sins
were strangely absent! :. :. . Like Aus

WISE KRACKS

Some men, like electricity, follow the
path of least resistance and end with a
bang.
Verify a chump hath said: "I can ac-
complish but little, life is too short" He

1t has been said, to err is human. To

1t is not how much you store in your
mind, but what you put there, that makes
you wise.
A wise man thinks in silence and fool
thinketh out loud.
1t is alright to observe, think and men,
orize things, but be careful what they are
1t isn't what a man sees or hears that

All! Well, along with dear old Nick
Carter all the old time dime novel heroes
have departed. Who among you can COM
pare the present day fiction writers with
the old time authors for real blood curd
ling thrillers etc.? Judging from COM
ment in the newspapers and periodicals
the old time thrillers were in class by
themselves; and not bad literature, as our

thriller depicted the triumph of right over
wrong, says the current press. A fair
