ahead, and simultaneously three
shots pierced the stiffness OF. the for
est-Silverheels was dead. Oh,
what a dastardly act it was. 1t was
murder, and we stand aghast at the
awful deed. Had not the lapse OF
four years, since the death of Abel
Sherman, been sufficient to mellow
the sorrow that Eli Sherman suS-
tained for the loss of his father?
Could not this man think that there
might have been another side to
the story? Silverheels, totally ig-
norant of the dire consequences,
probably did not tell the story. Had
he told all, perhaps the story might
have had an entirely different as
pect.
Who fired the first shot on that
fatal night when Abel Sherman lost
his life? Undoubtedly it was Sher-
man. He had just been warned chat
Indians might be lurking around and
to shoot was, no doubt, his first inn
pulse If Sherman was shot through
the heart and Silverheels received a
shoulder wound, could any reason
able person think that Abel Sherman
inflicted that wound after being shot
through the heart? Preposterous!
Aside from this, while Silverheels
was half Shawnee with savage at
tributes, yet he had the blood of an
! Englishman coursing through his
/ veins, and since he had chosen to
cast his lot with the whites, builded
his hut on the bank of the Moose
Eye, it is too much for us to think
that he, ever after that, killed a
man merely for the price of scalp.
! But let us not be too severe in our
judgment of young Sherman for the
course his thoughts must have led
him. They were only recovering
from strenuous days, days OF war
fare, days of IAN eye for an eye,
and tooth for a tooth" The big

gest word in the vocabulary Uf
many man in that day was, fight,
and the next was, get even, revenge.
BY this time, by the aid of rough
sticks for canes, we were labOrious-
/ ly climbing up steep, rugged, stony
hillside, when long 1.-the black
snake glided across our pathway, but
John Roberts paid no attention to
such trifling thing as that We
asked him if there were any copper
heads around there, and he assured
us there were, and then we were
more careful as to our step. We
worked our way up through the un-
dergrowth of bushes and young trees
to a long, low overhanging rock,
more than a hundred feet in length
and with moist sandy floor under
Meath
Matte Chapman" said Roberts,
"owned this land when they shot
Silverheels over there" pointing in
the direction, sand the next thing
was to hide the body, and they drag
ged it here, and somewhere under
/ this rock it is buried, just the exact
! spot, no one knows"
Somewhere along the length OF
the rock. covered with messy fun
gus. are the initials, ''N. c. but we
failed to find them. Roberts pointed
to a spot where the ground was COW
cred with large loose stones as prob
abiv being the exact spot. There
had been talk of eXcavating, but so
far. it has been all talk. Yes" he
continued 'I was out hunting with
my father, and sitting on log right
over there, when he told me the
story and showed me this place
where the body of Silverheels was
buried" 81 reckon they must have
buried his gun, too" continued Rob-
erts, ''for one day, few years ago,
| was up here a-squirrel huntln' an
right down there" pointing to
snot about forty feet down from the
ledge, II stubbed my toe on some
thing a-stickin' out of the leaves,
an / got to lookin' to see what 1t
was that 'peared to be so solid. ana
here it was the end of a gun barrel.
As it was wedged so tight in the
stones, had to work good while to
get the dang thing out
.How is it that this story was
kept from the public SO long?" We
asked Mr. Roberts. 1t was no secret
with him, he told us, only it just
happened not to get into the right
channel to lead to an outlet. Two
or three years ago he was visiting
relatives in Columbus and Incl
dentally told the story, and soon az
ter his return home, Alice Reiter,
Of Marietta, who is an instructor at
the State University, in company
with a newspaper cartoonist, found
their way to the Roberts home, Wis
tied the place and got the story for
the Dispatch.
/ 1t is said that Familiarity breeds
contempt" it also creates indiffer-
ence, and Mr. Roberts treated the
matter lightly, considering it of lit
tie importance. The rather primi-
tive and out-of-the-way place where
Mr. Roberts has lived would con-
tribute much to seclusion. Is the
story true? We believe it is.

two feet long, and the old tombstone

THE END OF SILVERHEELS
An Indian Tale
(By Silas Thorla)
CONTINUED from last week)

JCOQIlnuou ITOIn last WCChJ
There was a salt spring not far
from here and deer would come ana
lick. Eli Sherman proposed to two
of his companions, Matte Chapman
and Jesse Scott, that they go on
deer hunt. However, these two men
were not deer hunters, they were
wild bee hunters, and they would
sell the honey they obtained at the
settlement But this was planned
as deer hunt, and they would in
vite Silverheels to accompany them,
and he was much more expert in
sighting and tracking the deer than
any white man. Little did Silver
heels suspect that this was a ruse.
Mr.. Roberts pointed to the brow
of the hill where the deer would
pass over after leaving the click. 7"
When deer was sighted, the men
were to drop back and the unsus-
pecting Silverheels was to creep
