The Detected Spies

On the Big Sandy branch OF
the Tuscarawas river near where
Frederick Post built the first log
cabin in Ohio in 1761 for a mis-
sion, the only Indian fight chron-
icled in Stark county took place
in April, 1898 = a running one
between five white men and
about 20 Ottawa and Wyandot
Indians.
John Cuppy. Isaac Miller,
George Falk, Thomas Dillon and
James Downing. Sr. were back
woodsmen paid by the govern
ment to act as spies or scouts
along the Ohio side of the Ohio
and along the Muskingum rivers
to warn against and forestall in
dian attacks. Dillon and Falk
both had been captured by the
savages when young and had
lived among them. Downing was
head OF the scout group.
After a wide search in the
Stark county woods the scouts
concluded that no Indians were
near and as their rations were
| getting short decided to shoot Z
deer. Up to that time not a sho
had been fired, fearing that /
would betray their presence il
the woods. This was their fourtl
day out and the party was II
the woods between the Littl,
Sandy and Indian run. 1t wa
early - before breakfast.
Downing shot a deer and an
other of the group shot a will
turkey. Cuppy was reloading hi
gun when he happened to loo
up and saw an Indian movin
about in the distant underbrusf
He sprang up and gave tn
alarm to the others. When h
saw that he had been discovere
the Indian ran and as he did S
Cuppy fired at him but missed
Miller and Falk then grabbed u
their guns and give chase.
The Indians, numbering Is c
20, heard the firing and ascel
tanned the locality of the scout.
then divided into two groups s
as to approach them from di
ferent directions those mo:
probable the spies would take
their efforts to escape.
The ground was sparsely wooC
ed and Miller was ahead whe
Falk shouted to him to stop. H
