FAMOUS OHIO BATTLEFIELDS
Gen. Morgan Invudes Southern Ohio

Morgan's men tapped the wires
and sent messages of their own
designed to delay and misguide
their pursuers.
Madly the 1000 galloped. AS
horses dropped from exhaustion,
fresh ones were seized from the
barnyards. Bridges were burned,
small towns looted, orchards and
gardens raided. Tied TO the sad
dies were bolts of colorful calico.
Reaching the Ohio border, Nor
gan swung sharply northward. He
was not going TO be trapped in the
confusion of Cincinnati streets.
Judah's cavalry had crossed the
Ohio at Portsmouth to intercept the
1000 galloping men. Behind Nor
gan's army, General Hobson's
Michigan troops were in mad pur-
suit. At least $4,000 men were
converging to stop the raiders,
now less than 1000 strong.
But Morgan eluded trap after
trap and fed steadily eastward
toward Burlington Island where,
he had been told, the water was
low and he could recroSs the Ohio

Don't Ignore Horse On Highways;
He Has Ohio's Law Back OF Him

II man on a horse or a horse
drawn vehicle signals you to slow
down or stop as your car rolls along
the highway it will be best for you
to heed that signal for that man has
the law back of him even though
he is not in uniform.
In drafting the new Uniform
Traffic Act that becomes effective
Saturday the state legislature had
intended to repeal Section 1905 of
the Ohio General Code which pro-
vides protection to horses on high
ways but after legislators heard op-
position to this plan the section was
allowed to remain unchanged altho
the states traffic laws have been
streamlined.
That section provides that "who-
ever, operating a motor vehicle fails

to slow down and stop it when sig
nailed so to do upon meeting or
overtaking a horse-drawn vehicle or
person on horseback and to remain
stationary until such vehicle or per-
son has passed, provided such signal
to stop is given in good faith, under
circumstances of necessity, and only
as often and for such length of time
as required for such vehicles or per-
sons to pass, whether approaching
from the front or rear, shall be fined
not more than twenty-five dollars,
and for a second offense shall be
fined not less than twenty-five dol
lars nor more than fifty dollars"
Thus in this fast-moving automo-
tive era Ohio's legislators have Civ

1t was July 18th, in the after
noon, that he approached Chester,
Ohio. There he wasted precious
minutes finding native, who was
forced to guide the raiders. BY,
late evening he reached Portland,
Ohio, and found earthworlzs con-
fronting him.
"Rest and attack in the morn
ing" were the orders. More delay.
AT daybreak the action started.
The earthworks were deserted.
Preparations. were made to cross
the Ohio when Judah's men
struck. Temporarily, Morgan was
victorious. Then Hobson with
other thousands joined in the bat
tie. The retreat began. A charge
by Michigan cavalry transformed
the retreat to a rout.
Some few crossed the river,
some were captured, but Morgan
and 1900 men broke through the
Gordon of troops and swept north
ward seeking a new means OF
escape. He was captured, a week
later, near Lisbon, Ohio.

THE BATTLE OF
BURLINGTON lSLAND-1863


After 1913 there was half GEN.
tury-nearly to the month-dur-
ing which Ohio was free from
military invasion.
Then in July of 1863 Morgan
and his 1000 raiders swept across
the state from west to east.
OF little military significance in
the whole story of the Civil War,
Morgan's Raid was one of the
great cavalry exploits of history.
For more than two years Ohio
had anxiously watched the march
and counter-march, the battles
and campaigns of the Civil War
from the protection of the Ohio
River. No army could hope to
force its way across this wide,
1000-mile-long barrier.
Then in July of 1863 Morgan's
Raiders, 1000 strong. crossed the
Ohio into Indiana and turned
swiftly eastward toward Ohio.
Telegraph instruments madly
clicked the message of his coming.
Confusion and fear mounted as

Karl Schultz Returns From Summer
Rehabilitation Work In Old Mexico

Karl " Schultz, son of DR.. and
Mrs. Jacob Schultz, of Lawn avenue,
was one of so American students
who returned last week from Mexico
where they worked during the sum-
mer on volunteer projects sponsored
by the American Friends Service
Committee.
Schultz was stationed in the La
guna rehabilitation area near Tor
reon where student volunteers from
the United States assisted in the
construction of a new cotton gin
for use in the district.
Before leaving for home, the group
spent several days in Mexico City
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1941-09-04

studying local and international
problems under the guidance Of
Mexican government leaders.
Work completed in Mexico by the
group is a part of the summer pro-
gram sponsored by the American
Friends. The student volunteers live
in camps and work eight hours each
day on some needed project bearing
relation to industrial, social tension,
international or interracial problems.
Schultz is a graduate of Blufton
college and has done graduate work
at Haverford college and Pendle
Hill. Both of the latter institutions
are in Pennsylvania.

along at the opportune moment and
dressed the wound with all profes-
sional skill
Times change-if you don't think
so, ask Hod Murray. Hod and his
wife accompanied their son Aaron
and family on trip to Buffalo and
Niagara Falls week ago. Hod
worked in Buffalo fifty years ago
long before the days of filing sta
tions and roadside barbecues-but he
says the Falls are still the favorite
spot for honeymooning couples-just
like it used to be in the days of
handlebar moustaches and stiff katy
hats.

ported. Several of the veterans who
were expected to form a nucleus for

age tossed into a roadside ditch the
first of the week found therein pos
tai cards, an envelope and sales slip
bearing the name of a Bluffton resi-
dent. The evidence was exhibited at
the council meeting Monday night.
Mayor Howe says that the practice
must stop or there will be some
crackdowns soon. Buttons NUM-
cipal garbage collection system is
available to every householder for
50 a year-less than II cents a
month which is less costly than fines.
Three cheers for the Orange town
ship trustees who are youthful in
spirit-so much so that they can't
miss the Hancock county fair at
Findlay. So in order to be there
Friday night they have arranged to
hold their regular meeting this
month on Friday afternoon.
Looks like a peachy season-with
orchards thruout the Bluffton dis
trict heavily laden with peaches of
extra fine quality. Farms thruout
the countryside are unusually pro-
ductive this year. Unless all signs
fail and something unforeseen in
tervenes the corn crop will be some
thing to write home about-as good
as that bumper crop of wheat this
year.
And while we're on the subject let
it be set down here that the dairy
farmers are pretty we'll satisfied
with things in general-milk is now
quoted at 1928 per hundred-less
a quarter to the hauler-which
leaves the producer almost 81. This
is about ne-third above the average
price of S1.50 for raw milk.
We were treated to a brand new
one at a roadside barbecue near
Bluffton on Labor day-chicken in
the rough. Perhaps you know what
/, that is-but in event you are as
ignorant as we were you may be in
terested to know that it's pieces of
chicken eaten with the fngers-no
forks, knives or plates-and after
| you have finished there's paper
napkin to remove all traces. Mighty
good--we always did like to handle
| drumsticks that way.
Here's one for the old timers-a
| stranger in town the other day en-
| deavoring to look up some records
| to obtain a birth certificate. Said
| he was the son of Glover Smith, one
| of Bluffton's old time postmasters.
Takes all kinds of people to make
the world-heard of one the other
day who doesn't like to go swimming
at the Buckeye until the weather
gets cool. He says that on hot
day the water is too warm-no in
vigorating kick to a plunge as there
is on brisk fall days.
| Word from two Cincinnati readers
of the News-former Bluffton
people-that it's just like a letter
from home every week. First came
in letter from Bert Schifferly who
renewed his subscription for another
year and shortly after that Mrs.
Louisa Yoder, now visiting here,
stopped in to renew the News for
the coming twelve months.
