the battle of Point Pleasant the
widowed squaw returned there.
Rebecca was the daughter of James
Galloway who came from Kentucky
County, Virginia, now Kentucky, in
1897 and put up the little family log
cabin on the Big Miami near Old
Chillicothe, now oldtown in the edge
of Xenia. That was after the savages
had been defeated (1794) by Mad
Anthony Wayne at Fallen Timbers-
now Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the
Shawnees were more or less friendly
with the Galloways.
Tecumseh lacked a lot of being a
good Indian and despite his small size
was a bold and dangerous warrior.
Most of the Indians were in deadly
fear of him and the white people held
him in the same respect. However, it
was Galloway's cousin, another James
Galloway, who had blacksmith shop
on Mad River, who put the fear of the
Great Spirit into the warlike little
Indian. Tecumseh was drunk and be-
gan disturbance in the blacksmith
shop and the big horseshoer merely
threw down his hammer, walked over
and tied Tecumseh up to a tree and
left him there until he sobered up.
Neither was the James Galloway,
over on the Big Miami, much of a
tenderfoot. Back in 1892 at the battle
of Blue Lick in Kentucky, Galloway
had been shot in the shoulder, the bull
let lodging in the back of his neck.
He brought it to Ohio with him but by
the end of 1790s it was causing him
much trouble and a lot of pain.
Finally the tough old pioneer re-
sorted to frontier surgery. He sum-
nloned the nearest cobbler and seated
in a split-bottom chair in front of the
cabin, had the shoemaker pick the
bullet out with his awl. Other than a
few grunts, grimaces and a lot of
swear words, Galloway stood the op-
Grafton very well.
1t was in summer, 1898, when Te-
cumseh fell in love with Rebecca Gal
loway, then sixteen. He pressed his
suit hard and made many calls at the
little cabin on the Big Miami, pro-
posing time and again.
Eventually the Indian told the girl
he was destined to be a great chief
and offered her fifty silver brooches
and the promise that she would be the
greatest squaw in the whole Shawnee
nation if she would marry him. The
wedding was to be in the Indian way
instead of the white peoples way be-
cause no preacher nor justice author
lied to perform such a ceremony yet
was in that part of the wilderness.
Rebecca stood in the cabin doorway
and thought the deal over. After she
had much admiration for the good
looking, fiery little Indian and was a
bit in love herself. Then
mo-, the girl told him, mot unless

you are willing to give up the ways
of the Indians and live like a white
man. do not want to be wild wo-
man and work in the fields like the
squaws have to do"
Tecumseh drew his short frame up
haughtily, shook his head and slowly
walked away. Turn tc a white man
and give up the legendary ways of his
people? No, not for any price.
So ended the short romance of
Rebecca Galloway and the Indian
chief. Had the girl accepted him it
might have changed the whole history
of what later became Ohio.
After that Tecumseh was the re-
lentless enemy of the white people
and caused them much trouble. In
1905 he headed a large band of In
dians who built a big Indian village
on the white mems side of the Green
vile treaty line. He was killed in the
Battle of the Thames.

YOU'VE HEARD THE STORY
about the little pig who went to mar
ket, but have you heard about the
young porky who walked into the
office of the local veterinarians for
a hernia operation?
1t happened this way: One of our
local hog raisers north of town put
the pig into his truck to bring it to
Doctors Niswander and Herring for
the operation. When he drove into the
vets garage, the truck was empty.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-04-12

Apparently somewhere enroute Mr.
Pig had jumped over the three-foot
truck rail and disappeared.
Imagine DIR. Waldo Niswan-
der's surprise an hour and half
later to hear the pig grunting at
his garage door. Mr.. Pig walked
in, Doc closed the door and it was
not too long before the patient
was on the operating table.

After browsing about the neigh
bOrhood for some time, it seemed
to gather up its courage and
came in for the operation.
THE HEAVY MOSS that has been
a serious handicap to fishing in the
Waterworks quarry lake may be
eliminated by nature, local sportsmen
are theorizing. The moss, which
tangled fishing lines and made it al
most impossible for the fish to see the
bait, seems to be receding this
spring. 1t is believed the heavy ice
this winter on the lake reduced the
sunlight entering the water sufficient
ly to halt the vegetable growth. In
previous years the municipal light
plant kept the water warm so that it
never froze.

LETTER
TO THE EDITOR

Dear Sir:
We the members of the Union
Center Farm Bureau Council have
been discussing the problem of
emergency medical service and would
like to bring before the public and
the profession the summary of our
suggestions.
l What is an emergency?
a. The immediate need for med
ical service disregarding per-
sonality.
1. The quickest way for service
is to get to the hospital
2. Never call a doctor to the
scene of an accident, call
the ambulance.
b. Births
1. Let your doctor get his rest
to avail yourself of better
care.
2. Go to the hospital where
you'll get professional pre-
liminary care timed accord
ing to your needs.
C. General Service
/. Let your doctor get his
rest to avail yourself of
better care in surgical cases
and anesthesia.
2. Before phoning doctor con-
slider what he might be doing
at that hour and then
determine whether or not
