Airport Not Dead,
u. ). Tells Court

The Government yesterday
asked Judge Albert v. Bryan OF
Alexandria DistriSt Court to dis
miss a petition of Burke (VaD
property-owners who seek to
have condemnation proceedings
for the proposed new airport site
dismissed.
In an answer to the property
owners motion, the Government
stated that the project has not
been legally abandoned.
Mere inferences drawn from
the failure of Congress to ap-
propriate funds for a year or
more, or from the failure of an
official to include a request for
funds in the current budget.

do not constitute legal aban-
donment," said the Government.
The reply further stated that,
as long as legislation authoriz-
ing the airport is valid, it Is the
duty of Government agencies to
proceed with the acquisition of
land as authorized by Congress.
The property-owners in their
motion had asked the court to
dismiss the condemnation pro-
ceedings because they said the
Government actually had aban-
doned the Burke airport project
by not providing any more money
to continue land acquisition.
Only about fourth of the 4,50O-
acre site has been acquired so far.

The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1953-03-12

Then forced the youngest Indian,
Negasow, to beat both bodies with a
club so that he too, might be implicat-
ed and feel himself equally guilty.
Partners in crime do not inform on
the others was the Indians belief.
Taking everything they wanted
from the camp the three murderers
went on their way towards the Mau-
NEE country, avoiding as nearly as
possible the Indian settlements along
the way.
Negonaba and Negoshek did the
actual killing. The young Indian,
Negasow, only would have been in the
way. 1t did not require three Indians
to murder two sleeping men.
Bishop was unmarried but Wood
left a widow. Their bodies were
found in few days and the signs
were clear that it had been murder
by Indians. A posse was organized
and the hunt and pursuit Immediately
got under way.
The Indians living along the Port
age River had seen the three fleeing
savages and after learning of the kill
ings suspected them of the murders.
They joined with the white men in
tracking down the culprits.
Negonaba, Wegoshek and Negasow
were run down near the Maumee
River and were taken to Norwalk, the
county seat, and arraigned before a
magistrate. They admitted the muir
ders and were jailed.
At the trials Negonaba and Wego-
shek were convicted and were sem
fenced to be hanged in June, 1919.
Negasow was dismissed and permitted
to go.
AS yet Huron County had no secure
Jail so the doomed men were placed
in the old building used as a prison
and were kept under strict armed
guard. Nevertheless one dark night
the two convicted savages escaped.
The guard caught a fleeting glimpse
of them and fired. One Indian was
hit in the body, a severe wound being
inflicted.
But both men continued to run for
several miles. Then the wounded
Indian laid down, tired out and faint
from loss of blood. 1t was Negonaba.
He told Wegoshek that he was going
to die and to go on without him
which the Indian did.
After several days the wounded
Indian was found in Penn Township
and Wegoshek was recaptured by the
Indians a few days later near the

would run up in delight TO meet them.
And when Seneca John came in sight
the children would run to him, climb
up to his shoulders and the Indian
would thus carry them to or from
school.
Incidently it was six-foot Seneca
John who in drunken fight split his
squaw's head wide open with toma-
hawk shortly after the foregoing hap
penings. He was executed for the
murder by Indians of the Seneca tribe.
So goes the story of white mems
justice in pioneer days-and append
ing it touch of justice of the redskin
type.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1953-03-12

of the white people was that the
bodies of their comrades should not be
disturbed in their graves. In the time
between the trial, escape and the
hangings members of all Indian trib-
es in the neighborhood showed their
willingness that the laws of the
whites should be carried out. No In
dian dissatisfaction with the trial nor
the executions ever was apparent.
Relations between the whites and
the Indians which settled on the fire.
lands was more cordial than in most
places on the frontier. Most of the
Indian settlers around Norwalk and
in Huron County were of the power
full Iroquois nation. Few were Of
tawas.
During the years after hostilities
had ceased and the country began to
fill with white settlers the Iroquois
maintained not only peaceable but
actually friendly relations with the
white people there.
The Senecas, who frequently passed
through the south end of the county
on hunting trips to the East were
barbaric in feathers and skins and
fierce in appearance but in their
demeanor were especially friendly to
the whites. They were so decorus
and kindly that in some instances
strong attachments were formed
between whites and Indians and even
the children grew to like them whole
heartedly.
Seneca John, tall chief of the
Senecas, used to carry the children of
Caleb Palmer, New Haven pioneer,
on his shoulders. Their affection for
him was so strong that when they
saw a band of Indians coming they
