"A Red Feather in the Hat

Although several weeks have passed since it be-
came known that the Bluffton-Richland United Fund
campaign had gone over the top for the second con-
secutve year, the approach of Thanksgiving Day next
Thursday seems an appropriate time to comment on
it.
There are those who contend that the best way
to truly show thanks and appreciation for the boun
ties of kind providence is to share them with others
The success of the latest Red Feather campaign and
the generous support of most projects Bufftonites
are asked to assist to mark the true spirit of
Thanksgiving.
The second year for the United Fund organiza-
ton is usually the most difficult according to veteran
campagners. If this is so, this community seems to
be "over the hump and it's way to further success
full campaigns. It's another feather in our hat!

que that the selection did not

The word profile" is defined
as an outline or contour, one side
of the face, so it seems The
Blade is right in using the term
in its pictorial outline of Bluff
ton. Any photographer, limited to
eight photographs to describe a
town, would select different ones
than another of his brethren. At
least one sensed from viewing
Bluffton's profile that it is a
warm, friendly town, busy as
most towns, but still having time
for little boys, pets and honey
folk.

When the Indians Won

In the top of a fallen tree Duncan
Macarthur, %, from MaySville, Ken
lucky, waited beside deer lick near
the mouth of the Scioto River one
lazy afternoon in 1894, certain that
sooner or later the game would come
there. He was one of four scouts paid
by the government to spy on the In
dians along that part of the Ohio riv-
er. The others were Samuel McDow-
ell, Nathaniel Beasley and Thomas
Treacle.
The four had guarded packet
boat to Maysville that morning and
had taken the afternoon off to hunt.
At the Scioto they had let Macarthur
out of their canoe and then floated
mile farther down river where Nc
Dowell, Beasley and Treacle thought
the game more plentiful.
Suddenly Macarthur cooked his muz-
zle loader and thrust the gun through
the bushes he had heard a rustic
in the brush and deer was coming
close. The man waited for the deer
to come closer, then, about Ia steps
away, hesaw what had made the
noise - two Indians fully armed with
rifle, tomahawk and scalping knife.
1t was too late to run the Savages
were too close. He knew he would
have to fight. He would shoot one of
them then run his chances single
handed with the other.
The Indians stopped before the deer
lick and looked into it for game. The
white mans gun roared and one saw
age fell into the water. Macarthur had
expected the other Indian to flee
when the one was killed. He didn't.
Instead he just stood there with his
gun cooked and peered around to find
where the shot had come from. With
no time to reload his own empty gun
the white man got out of there in a
hurry - he did it so abruptly and
so speedily that it sounded like
drove of deer in the bushes. Tackle
that Indian single-handed? He was
big, muscular and apparently fear
less, and besides he had a loaded gun.
Macarthur had gone only few steps
when he fell, tangled in the top of
fallen tree. When he got up the In
dams rifle ball whistled past. Now
he could fight it out single-handed, the
white man though - the Indians
gun was empty, too.
Just as the white man got up sew
eral more Indians, attracted by the
shooting, ran up. Macarthur fled, the
savages in hot pursuit, firing as they
ran. One ball went through his pow
der horn and into his side. The blood
gushed out. The man knew he was
shot but kept on running. This was
no time for weakness, and after rum
ming over several ridges the man
found that he had outdistanced his
pursuers. Then, carefully and quietly
he made his way to the Ohio river,
There he found Beasley and Ire
acle in the canoe padding against
the current to keep the boat in one
place to more easily be seen by Nc.
Arthur, should he escape the Indians.
Mcdowell was out in the woods some
where but the others had heard the
two quick shots and knew that either
he or Macarthur was in trouble. Then
when more shots kept coming from
the pursuers they knew that, whoever
it was, still was alive. All the yells
and shots were coming from differ
ent places and that indicated race
so figured the scouts.
The two men soon had their COM

nothing had happened.
It had been the second Indian at
tack of the day. The other had been

the mouth of the Big Sandy and John

crew had been killed. The boat the
