Weasecah offered his own life as a
substitute for both that of Harvey
and the squaw. That did the trick
and the Indians all shook hands with
Harvey, smoked the peace pipe with
him and Polly Buffers life was saved
with nobody at all being executed.
Harvey returned to the East in
1912 and before going, the whole
tribe met to bid him and his wife
farewell.

LEGEND OF POLLY BUTLER

Half white and the other half of
her Indian, Polly Butler was viewed
with suspicion by both races because
of the blood of the other that ran
in her veins.
She was the daughter of an Indian
squaw at Waughpaughkoneta, the
Shawnee town on the Augliaize river,
where she lived. The place now is
Wapakoneta. Polly's father was
Richard Butler, long an Indian trad
er among the Shawnees and later g
colonel in the pioneer army-finally
killed in st. Clair's defeat, 1871, at
Ft. Recovery.
Many of the white pioneers were
profigate persons and some of the
Indian squaws were comely women.
But for Polly's maternal ancestry
being Shawnee, she would have borne
her mothers surname instead of her
father's-in all Indian tribes other
than the Shawnees, family lineage
descended through the mother and
the children bore the mothers name.
The Shawnees were like the whites
the offspring were known by the
fathers name, if and whenever it
could be determined.
The legend is timed shortly before
the War on 1912, after the white
people had begun to settle along the
Auglaize river in the neighborhood
of later Wapakoneta. Most of the

settlers there then were Quakers.
In the Indian village one of the
young warriors had begun to act
strangely and on occasions lost con-
troll of himself. He would whoop and
yell Historically, hop around wildly
and finally fall in swoon. White
men would have recognized the mall
ady as a case of commen fits but the
Indians decided he had been be-
witched.
Suspicion fell on Polly Butler. But
just before she was scheduled for
trial in the big council house, the
halfbreed girl slipped away and made
for the Quaker settlements along the
river. 1t was far in the night when
she appeared at the cabin of Isaac
Harvey. The door stood open and
Polly ran through it. "They will
killee me-they will killee me-" she
cried in broken English.
The legend relates that Polly
brought with her a small child but
makes no further mention of that
phase of the story. 1t apparently
was only natural that the Indian girl
would seek out Harvey's cabin and
try to find haven there, because
Harvey was head of the mission the
Society of Friends had opened at the
Indian village. He also had a saw
mill and grist-mill on the Auglaize
river and was considered by the In
dians a firm friend of the tribe.
The white man hid the girl be-
tween two beds. Then fearing that
the barking of his dog might betray
her presence, killed the animal. Then
he hurried to the Indian town to take
a look at the brave Polly was ac-
cused of bewitching. There he found
Tenskwatawa, a chief, in the pole
shack where the sick warrior lived
and the victim himself lying on his
face with his bare back and whole
body so beaten and lacerated that he
almost was dead.
The chief explained that they had
been trying to beat out the devils
Polly had cast into the sick Indian.
The white man drove off the In
dian doctor, dressed the sick mans
wounds, then gave him food and wa
ter and went back to his own cabin
and the Indian girl.
Next day the Indians came to Har-
vey's cabin but could not find the
hidden girl. Later Chief Weasecah,
friend of Harvey, came and Har-
yey told him the story. After the
talk the two went to the Shawnee
council house to intercede for the
accused Indian girl.
The Indians all were therein
feathers and warpaint. Long speeches
were made but in the end the Indians
prearranged verdict of death for the
witch still stood.
When the verdict came, Harvey,
through an interpreter offered his
own life instead of the girls, since
the savages were bound to execute
somebody. Not to be outdone, Chief

ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY
WEAVER SAYS {.

Are you having family trouble?
Does your wife put up a kick
every time you are late for din
ner?
Does she complain that you
never take her out to dinner or
that you never notice the new
dress that she bought especially to
please you?
Has she complained that you
never take the time to discuss
your work and the state of your
finances?
If the answers to the above
questions are yes - then Broth
er" you are in trouble!
No, I'm not running family
relationship clinic and can't
answer your questions. If I could
wouldn't be in so much trouble
myself.
However, I can give you sug-
gestion on one of your problems
- the matter of discussing fl
nances. That is a problem for all
of us - married or single.
|. One thing with reference to
finances is the matter of savings
for the future - that day when
you are no longer punching q
time clock or wondering when
the next customer will come in
the store.
You will be surprised, as was
to learn that thousands of people
are saving toward that day with
out realizing it. How many OF
your friends know what Social
Security is and what it will mean
to them upon retirement or to
their widow and children in case
of their death. Do you know?
Maybe the little woman does
have a point then about discuss
ing finances. Why don't you find
out what social security may
mean to you and yours - Dis
cuss with her and figure out just
what you need to do now to sup
plement your income when you
retire - or your widows income
should you die.

Singers on television have
fewer worries than comedians

crossed Dinah Shores mind the
other afternoon. Miss Shore had
arrived in town shortly after
noon and was due to depart for
Hollywood again the next morn
ing, after entertaining at the
Radio Correspondents dinner
At the moment she had just
completed rehearSing four songs

"And didn't sleep for a wink"
She consented to sit down and
talk for a minute. though. and
without making a man feel like
a churl for depriving her of her
rest. That was when the COM
parative plight of singers and
comedians came up. The ques-
ton had to do with the supply
and demand of good songs for a
girl to sing.
