Triplett softball team will play two
home games this week under the
lights at Harmon Field. Both games
will start at $3.50. Thursday night
the locals tangle with the powerful
Radio Hospital team of Lima, winner
of the first round in City League
play. The team is made up of out
standing players, many of whom have
performed here in former years.
Friday night the locals meet Gar
wood Industries of Findlay. This
glme was scheduled earlier in the
season but was cancelled when rain
forced City League schedule delays.
The Triplett team failed in its bid
for third successive Allen County
title last Friday night at Faurot Park
when they fell to the Weaver Ma
chine outfit by 10-1 score. The de-
feat knocked the locals out of the
single elimination tourney.

John Hardin, then 80 years old,
was killed by the Indians in 1892 on
the site of the later Shelby county
hamlet when almost at the end of
his journey from President George
Washington to the Indians at Piqua
with message of peace.
Hardin had been overtaken there
by few Shawnees who proposed
camping with him then accompany
ing him the next day to the cabins of
their chiefs at Piqua. During the
night they murdered him for his
horse and equipment, which were val
liable and attractive.
Killed West of Sidney
His companion, a white man who
spoke Indian and was to be his inter-
prefer, was unhurt by the savages.
Hardin was killed about six miles
west of Sidney. The Shawnee chiefs
at Piqua were much displeased at
Hardin's murder. They knew he was
coming and wanted to learn what
message of peace he was bringing
from the Great White Father in the
East.
Hardin was a seasoned woodsman
and an expert marksman and had
wide experience in Indian warfare, be-
ginning before he was twenty-one.
Born in Fanquier county, Virginia,
in 1853 he was an ensign of militia
in spring, 1774, when he was shot in
the knee during a fight with Indians.
Even before he had recovered he was
soldier in Dunmore's expedition.
In the Revolutionary War he was a
lieutenant in Morgan's rifle corps
and often was selected for perilous
and important missions. For one of
these he received the personal COM
mendation of General Horatio Gates.
On that occasion Hardin had been
sent out on reconnoitering expedi-
tion with orders to take and bring in
prisoner for questioning in an eff
fort to secure information. Moving
stealthily at the head of his group
he ran upon three British soldiers
and a Mohawk Indian at the top of
hill.
Four Surrender
Unhesitatingly Hardin presented
his rifle and ordered the quartet to
surrender. The soldiers threw down
their rifles and the Indian dubbed his
gun. Thus they stood while Hardin
continued to advance on them. None
of his own men yet had come up and
fearing that he might need help, Har-
din turned his head and called to
them to come on.
The Indian, noting that Hardin's
eyes were not on the group at that
moment, quickly reversed his gun to
shoot the white man. Hardin saw
the CLINT of light on the Indians pol
ished gunbarrel, brought his own gun
to level with his hands and fired
without raising it to his shoulder.

them in 1792-which ended in his
death.
Hardin county was wild. BY 1910
it had only nine persons to the square
mile, settlement being that slow. The
first settler was Alfred Hale, a hun
ter, who squatted at Ft. Macarthur,
where "Hull's road" crossed the Sci
OTTO river, in 1917. His fourth child,
Jonas, was born there in 1919 but the
Hales moved away soon afterwards.
The settlement was not permanent.

The Lafayette team got its eight
runs in the third inning largely as
the result of fielding lapses on the

gave up only four hits. Other Bluff
