SENECA TRAIL LEGEND is
REVIVED BY w. VA. WRITER
The Story of Last Indians Seen
in Cheat River Country.

The following story of the Seneca
Trail is by c. W. Walden and appear
ed in a recent issue of the Randolph
Enterprise, published at Elkine, w.
Va:
about twenty-five years OF more
ago | CHANGED to become acquainted
with an elderly gentleman, who il
still living would be more than nine
ty years old, who related to me MS
rather weird story 1t may sound
questionable at first. but | recall an
other by much younger men which
is sufficient to justify its truth.
again, since my narrator was a
member of one of Randolph county's
most illustrious pioneer families l
cannot doubt its truth.
at was our custom to go back into
the then unclaimed forest lands and
make maple sugar.
'Our camp was located near the tsp
of Cheat Mountain, overlooking the
valley and near to an old Indian trail
which crossed somewhere between
Beverly and Valley Bend westward
toward the Ohio River country.
"One evening my older brother and
l were left in charge of the camp,
and he announced that he would
have to go home to take a load of su-
gar cakes and bring up provisions.
81 being then but a small boy, he
carried large pile of wood into the
camp and cautioned me TO keep q
good fire going and not leave the
shelter of the sugar shed, as ranthers
were numerous and sometimes dam
gerous, especially at night.
Gust before sunset, after again eau
tioning me not to leave the shed, he
departed.
81 felt somewhat afraid, but after a
time my courage returned and l kept
the sugar kettles ~,iling at a great
rate.
"Drowsiness overcame my vigilance
and under the influence of the bright
wood fire l feel asleep.
81 do not know how long l SLEPT,
but awoke to find my fire burning
low and a bright moon shining.
81 thought | heard voices. Thinking
my brother was coming accompanied
by some one l stepped out of the fire
light to see who it was.
81 could see no one, but it sounded
like someone singing in low melan-
choly tone. Still waiting and Listening
the voices seemed nearer, and at last
forms appeared winding up bne trail
from the valley.
FINALLY l could see a stalwart form
blanketed and with headgear of eagle
feathers, closely followed by others.
1 could not tell how many but judged
there were not more than seven or
eight.
"They came up on the trail chant
ing mournfully. Fear took hold of
me again and I hid myself il the
bushes where l could see the trail al
the point it topped the mountains.
Reaching the summit, the Indians
stopped and facing the trail whence
they had come, chanted mournfully
for several minutes and facing about
with bowed heads passed out of sight
down the westward trail.
"These were probably the last IN
dams seen in Randolph county"

The approaching flood will be the

closing the gaps in the old Mercedes
canal which protected Cameron

wards dynamited TO avoid court ac-
tion by Willacy county.
Closing Of these gaps will force
large volume of flood water north

carry a larger volume without Sc
