and beans, pumpkins and other for
age for the men. Several hogs also
were run down and tomahawked-
orders had been issued not to shoot
them. Thus the soldiers had fresh
pork.
While the men were running after
one of the hogs an Indian appeared
a few hundred yards away carrying
the carcas of a deer. He saw the
white men just as they saw him and
dropped into the tall grass.
Indian Shoots From Ambush
The whole troop charged the
place where the savage had disap-
peared but missed him and the In
dian firing from the grass, killed
captain. The troop charged the lone
savage again. Again the Indians
gun cracked in the grass and an
other soldier fell.
That time the savage was located
and was tomahawked just as he had
his gun reloaded to fire once more.
He had been wounded in the first
fight-a hole was in his breast
large enough to show under a mans
hand. So were two more whites
shot by an Indian who died hard.
Gen. Benjamin Logan's expedition
has an easy conquest of the Mac-o
chez towns. Nearly all the braves
were away hunting and most of the
small number left in the villages
escaped after the warning of the
French deserter.
The whites spent another night at
Deserted Camp on their way back
from the Mad and Miami river towns
then went back to Kentucky, taking
their captives with them.
The young Indian whom Lytle be-
friended became attached to General
Logan and almost was considered a
member of his family. His Indian
name was "Spemica Lawba"-which
in Indian meant "the High Horn"
But he changed his name to "Logan"
in honor of the general he so admir-
ed. He became a great chief-the
noted Logan, chief of the Mingos.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1952-05-01

about a punitive expedition from
Kentucky resting there one night on
its way against the Indian towns on
Mad River. During the night a
Frenchman, member of the posse,
deserted and warned the Indians so
that when the expedition arrived at
their camps all were gone.
The Clinton County version is
true as far as it goes but the actual
tale is worth it's delving to uncover
and is an interesting one.
The expedition was that of Gen.
Banjamin Logan, who led party of
Kentuckians against the Mac-o-chee
towns on the head waters of Mad
River and the Great Miami in 1876
1t spent the night at the spot today
known as Deserted Camp.
This story comes from the version
of William Lytle, then only 16, but
member of Logan's expedition
Burn Indian Town
! When the expedition reached the
Indian towns the savages had fled
leaving only the women, old men anc
young boys. The expedition burned
eight of the Indian towns, tool
about 70 prisoners and killed q
warriors who had remained there

dians fleeing from them in all direc-
tions into the thickets. When the
Kentuckians caught up with the es-
Gaping savages only one warrier be-
sides the chief, threw up his hands
and cried for quarter. The others
fought desperately with knife, gun
and tomahawk until all were killed.
Fifty members of the expedition,
including Lytle, hurried on for about
mile where they came up with
more of the Indians running along
the edge of hazel and plum
thicket.
Indians Surrender
Lytle was ahead of the others and
was about to shoot when one of the
Indians raised his hands in surrender
and walked forward, ordering the
other savages not to fire. Calling
the women and children to follow
him, the Indian came towards Lytle
with hand extended. But before
Lytle could take the Indians hand
in acceptance of surrender the
whites surrounded the savages and
wanted to tomahawk the captives.
Lytle told them they would first
have to tomahawk him.
The whites had taken 13 prisoners
there and walked them back to
where the chiefs flag foated from
6O-foot pole. There were the
chief; his three wives-one young
and good looking; the Grenadiel
squaw, six feet tall and powerful
sister of Chief Keightughqua, whom
the white men called Old Cornstalk;
several strong young lads and some
children.
One of the Indian lads was about
Lythe's age and size. He attached
himself to Lytle and steadily kept
beside him. Lytle stepped aside tc
, tether his horse, the young Indiar
near him. One of the whites hat
been to a spring to drink and re-
turning saw the Indian beside Lytle
He came running towards them ant
the young Indian, thinking he wa
about to be killed, shot an arrow a
the advancing Kentuckian but miss
ed. Lytle just had time to nudg
the Indians arm, causing his aim t,
be bad.
Just then Col. Hugh McGary, VIII
had been in an Indian attack agains
Blue Licks, Kentucky, came up an
was told by Logan not to moles
nor harm the captives. "I'll see :
that" answered McGary. Lytle a
that time came up to the chief, hi
young captive by the hand.
Indian Chief Murdered
McGary then shouldered throug
the crowd surrounding the chief an
came up to him asking "Were yo
at the defeat at the Blue Licks :?
Not understanding English, the chic
answered eyes," in Shawnee. Nc
Gary seized an axe from the ham
of the Grenadier squaw and raises
it to strike the chief. Lytle threy
up his own arm to break the blow
but the impack of the axe handl
nearly broke his wrist. The blad
sank in the chiefs head to his eye
and the Indian fell dead at Lytle'
feet.
Such was the murder of Moluntha
chief of the Shawnees-a captiv'
killed after surrender.
Angered by the wanton killing
Lytle drew his own knife to aveng'
the murder of his prisoner but wa'

Hours after the explosion. police

The violent blast ripped apart
the main works of the Toa Syn

The explosion demolished the

Floor leadership In Senate
Will Be Vital Job This Term
By JMEs MARROW

WASHINGTON Up - Ever since
the Republican victory in Novem-
Der it has been taken pretty much
for granted here that Sen. Taft
could have the job of Republi-
can floor leader in the Senate for
the asking.
He had been, in effect, the Re-
publican Senate leader for years
anyway. But the floor leadership
in the next four years, when the
Republicans are in the White
House, viii be one of the most
important jobs in President Eisen-
hower's administration.
The Senate Republican leader
viii visit the White House regular
ly for consultation, which includes
advice, on programs Eisenhower
wants Congress to approve. When
the discussion is over, it's up to
the Senate leader to lead the Sem
ate fight for what the President
wants.
But two weeks ago, more than
a month before the Republicans
could take over, Taft exploded
over Eisenhower's appointment of
Martin P. Durkin, a Democrat
and labor union official, as secre-
tary of labor. Incredible" Taft
said, denouncing it.
This looked clearly like a break
between the President-elect and
the senator. The 0hioan's flareup
raised a question. Several, in
fact. Could Eisenhower and Taft
ever get along or, if this squabble
was smoothed over, would they
split over something else later?
Would it be better for EiSen-
hover right at the start of the
new Congress to have a show
down with Taft to see which of
them the Senate Republicans
would follow?
Eisenhower said nothing about
Taft'S outburst, at least publicly.
Taft seemed to calm down. And
now Eisenhower has cleared the
way for Taft to get the floor
leadership. Not directly. He did it
through lieutenantS who announced
Eisenhower would be happy 10 see
Taft in the leadership.
Almost Immediately Taft said he
would seek the leadership, which
is by choice of the. COP senator's,
not by presidential appointment.
Until then Taft had been rather
vague about what he intended to
do, as il waiting to see what Eisen-
hover would do.
From a coldly political view, it
would seem Eisenhower has every
thing to gain and nothing to lose
by ignoring Taft's leadership am
bitions.
BY not trying to block Taft, he
has avoided the possibility of Bit
terness and dissension right at the
start of his administration. And,
since Taft already has blown up
once, he may be careful not to
do it hastily again lest he appear
in the public eye as a man given
to temper tantrums.
