Tho door was opened and tlioro stood an Indian, tho first wo had scon sincu the commencement of tho war of 1812. IIu unid, “me wants something to eat,” and ho was invited in and asked to take a seat by tho flro, it being a cool morning. Aunt Eunice had just put her potatoes into tho hot ashes to roust. She told him that ho could havo some when they wore done. IIo sat a four moments warming himself and then got up and went out where ho hud loft liis gun, tomahawk and scalping kmfo,. and cut ft stick about threo foot long and sharpened ono end and returned again and resuming his scat ho stuck his sharpened stick into tho lire and drew outn potato, jiiBt wanned through andbognn to eat it, saying that ho had not cuton anything for two days, Aunt Euuico tdlcl him that sho was afraid ho h/»d been killing will to folks through the war, IIo replied, mo .friond to white man. Mo no klllmn,' Mo stay round hire through all tho war, and he convinced us that ho did, by telling us a munbor of ovonta that wo know took place during tho course of tho war. Ono of them I will try to relate as near in his own words as I can romcrabcr: “A litllo way off on bank of crock mo saw a bad Indian kill white man ; mo draw up rilio; mo sight; mo thought mo kill Indian, but me frr.id more bud Indians there atul they would kill rao, so mo go oil*.’’ And this 3a what ho had seen 3 Mr, Reding had got an Indian dress and ho and Sexton told Hill, that Jool Ten cl I had found a boo troo on jlhc bank of the crock a little way off and wanted lliil to go with him to boo it.ITnmli a jus I townal a morn tufo v Ho di Tho t WoJlitthen nvvoiiumay hi in thosoqnen dina ccWo o'xoh ft rtory o wo) th mors lt;of the t'ona. boars i only I1 tho or gist's c Is thoweeks man’s place likely or wi await 1 no tlm only pi bus inc. fovoj* t iorco o keepertlhuod lust thlt;by loti shop; him at But In tnedici: my wc store) and n diod, ■ took I iSymoKReding put on hla Indian suit and fob „„mlowed thorn. ‘When thoy got to tho troo Sexton said, “look thoro, that Indian,” and Reding fired and Sexton protending to be shot fet!, and said, **I am a dead man,” and Ilill becoming frightened took to hie heels and ran ilko a deer. IIo was ao badly scared that he was tick fora week. They had a man placed ill'the road to stop him, On tho Gaboon farm where ho waa helping to build a cabin and to him ho routed that Soxton hud boon killed by an Indian m, n'mbush, when tho man informed him better. This scare of Mr. Hill was a few days before Ilull’a surrender. Tho Indian'was much pi eased that ho had satisfied Aunt Eunlco that ho was’a friWl to the whites, He said ho had been away up the Canesadohario (Black river) and found Botno Indiana tlioro from Detroit, and thoy told him; '•No morolull, white man, no more kill poor Indian.'
