capital. Warren itself had but two
log cabins-that Of William Fenton,
built in 1898, and the three-room
home Of Ephraim Quinby, built the
next year. Quinby's cabin consisted
Of a kitchen, bedroom-and jail.
But one prisoner ever occupied that
Warren jail-Parger shehigh, who
landed in the calaboose after threat
ening the life of Youngstown
Judge.
Besides Quinby and Fenton, the
residents Of the Warren community
were Henry and John Lane and
Henry Lane Jr.; Benjamin Dawson,
Meshach Case, John Adgate, John
Leavitt, William Crooks, Phineas
Letfingwell, Charles Daily, Edward
Jones, George Loveless and William
Tucker.
The families of Richard Story and
Joseph Mcmahon lived near an
Indian settlement at Salt Springs, on
the Mahoning river.
Whisky Stolen
After the whisky theft from
Story's cabin, Mcmahon and Story
caught the Indian, Spotted John,
whose face was covered by moles and
who belonged to no tribe because of
his bad character, and nearly beat
him to death when accusing him of
larceny. Because of that, the In
dians threatened to kin both Story
and Mcmahon and their families.
When the men were at work in the
woods a band of drunken Indians
went to McMahon's cabin and ter
rorized his family. Their chief,
George, severely injured one of his
children by striking it with tama-
hawk. 1t was noon next day before
Mrs. Mcmahon was able to get word
to her husband and Story
The two men first decided to raid
the Indian village alone, but knowing
they were greatly outnumbered went
ever to talk things over with Quinby
at Warren. 1t was Saturday after
noon.
Little Army" Expedition
Next morning Quinby, Story, Me-
Mahon and II other men and two
boys, all armed started for the In
dian village. The little army was
in command of John Lane.
Quinby's house and Jail also served
as a sort of tavern and many of
the Indians were his firewater
customers. So, knowing most of the
sayages personally, the Warren
group halted a haIf-mile from the
Indian village and let Quinby go on
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1947-03-27

alone to find out if the Indians
wanted war or peace" If he did
not return in 80 minutes the settlers
were to storm the village. Quinby
did not return.
When the little Warren army got
TO the village it found Quinby still
in conference with Chief George.
Ugly, evil-tempered Spotted John
also was there. First in the Warren
group was Mcmahon. Story was
right behind him. Both had their
guns already cooked.
Indian Chief Killed
Chief Georges tomahawk was
stuck in a tree. Grabbing it out he
walked over to Mcmahon saying 'If
you kill me | will lie here-if | kill
you, you shall lie there" Mcmahon
sprang back and shot Chief George
dead.
Spotted John was placing his
family safely behind tree when he
was shot by Story. The bullet pass
ed through the Indians head,
through the neck of his squaw and
through the shoulder of their 13-
year-old daughter.
The Indians fed but Warren's
Indian war was on. Though the
whites pursued them, firing as they
ran, they were unable to kill any
more Indians and returned to War
rem to fortify the settlement as best
they could.
Settlers Face Savage War
The routed Indians were on their
way to Sandusky. There they would
find the war councils Of the Wyan-
dottes and the fierce Iroquois. An
Indian war of determination against
all white persons in the Northwest
Territory was almost certain.
1t was then that James Hillman
was sent alone through the forest
to catch up with the sayages and try
to make peace with them. His Of
fers of money We're met with stole
refusals.
The little Warren settlement was
reinforced by all the white settlers
from Youngstown and the surround
ing country. Portfolios were made
through the logs and guards kept
posted night and day. The Indian
attack did not come.
Indians Propose Peace
In two weeks half-dozen Indians
came with proposals Of peace if the
whites would turn over Mcmahon
and Story to them for trial by Indian
council, and if found guilty, punish
ment by Indian law. The whites

replied that this could not be done
because McMahon already was in
jail at Pittsburgh to be tried for
murder and Story had run away.
Tried by General st. Clair at
Youngstown, McMahon was acquitted
for lack Of evidence. He afterwards
was killed by the Indians.
The Salt Springs Indians soon
came back to their homes and buried
the chief and Spotted John. A new
pair of buckskin trousers was hung
over each grave SO ''at the end of
80 days they could rise, go to the
North Sea and hunt and kill the
white bear"
Carry Food TO Graves
Every night the Indians carried
good supplies and cooked venison to
the graves so the dead hunters
would rise '.brave and strong''. Each
morning they found the food had
been devoured and religiously were
pleased.
But the old dog and eight pups of
white settler three miles down
river grew wonderfully sleek and
fat during that 30 days, old accounts
related.
The killings and near-war were
caused by white ignorance of Indian
law. What Chief George meant by
"You will lay there or l will lay here
was that the fight should be between
ae and Mcmahon alone and the death
OF either should end it, other whites
and Indians not entering into war.

Warren's Indian
War

One hundred dollars was a lot o.
money back in 1900 but was no
enough to bribe friendly Trumbuli
County Indians to abandon war Of
retaliation after two of them had
been murdered by Warren settlers.
Nor was the 5000, and finally $500,
to which James Hillman, moderator
for the whites, increased his offer.
To the Indians war was matter for
their council to decide and not the
white mans money to buy off. On
the other hand, of course, $500 would
buy a lot of irewater-and the
Indians would not have to steal it
for time at least.
The murder and threat Of war had
grown out of the Indian theft of 3
gallon of whisky from Richard Story
near Warren.
Warren Was Two Cabins
Warren's Indian war occurred In
August, 1900, when only 16 settlers
lived near the Trumbull County
