Atrocious Knrder ol -Tliree Wyandot Indians IS HENRY COTJSTY AS LATE AS THE VE AK 1841. The Mnrderera Were Notorious Des peradoes From Wood County Arrested bat Made their Es cape and Were Never Re ' captured. The following account of the murder of three Indians in this county, in the year 1841 by white men, was read at the meeting of the Maomes Valley Pioneer association, yester day at Defiance, by Prof. O. W. Williamson, principal of tbe Wapakoneta schools, and formerly Superintendent of the Napoleon sohools: The details of the following reminiscence of Korthwes'ein Ohio have never, to oar knowledge, appeared in prink Like much of the early history of the valley they are known only to a few. The bloody eon Slots that oeonrred between adventurous white men and the Indians of this section of the state, extended over a period of nearly thirty years, and did not cease until after the final treaty of peace at St. Marys in 1818. The year following tbe treaty, emigrants from the eastern states and t fie older settled sections of Ohio began to se tie in the valley. Along with the set tlers there came a class of lawless men at that time called "frontiermen." Many of them wete gamblers, horse thieves and other fugitives from justice. Up to 1845 tbe set tlers were greatly annoyed by them, robbery and murder being of frequent occurrence. The dense forests that covered the valley had, np to the time of the treaty, been the favorite banting ground of the Indians, and the fear of losing them was the principal cause of their desperate resistance to the enoroachments of the white man. For years after the treaty parties of them returned at certain seasons of the year to hunt. In the fall of 1841 a party of Wyandot Indians went to Fulton county to hunt, and remained there until late in the season. The party was led by Sam-Man-De-Wat, an Indian preacher, who had been converted at the Methodist mission at Upper Sandusky, under the min- ietrationof the Rev. James B. Finley. Hav ing many horse loads of for and other skins, Sam-Man-Do-Wat started for home a few days in advance of bis comf any, with his nephew and little Nanoy, his niece. Before leaving Upper Sandusky he was provided, by traders, with abcnt five hundred dollars in money with which he pas to pur chase fus. He expended about three ban dree dollars and was returning with the remainder of the money on his person. The fact that he was in possession of an amount of money 'became known to Ellsworth, a notorious outlaw who kept a hotel in tbe wes tern part of Wood county, near the Henry county line.' This hotel was a rendezvous for criminals. Ellsworth immediately called to his assistance two of his confederates. James Lyon and William Anderson. Aft r a consultation they decided to waylay the the Indians and if possib'e secure tbe money. Sum-Man-De-7at and bis two relatives en camped tbe firat night of their journey home ward in the northeastern part of Defiance county. Ellsworth gave directions to the two men as to where the Indians could be found, accompanying them over half the dis tance. . About 3 o'clock p. m, they discovered the luuiau party, uocewling themselves until evening they approached he camp and asked for something to eat and permission to lodge with them over night, which were reluctan tly given. The Indians, however, was so wary during the night that they had no op portunity to exeoute their designs. After taking breakfast the next morning, to allay any suspicions that tha Indiana miirht nntBi-. tain, they told them that they were going to the' wnite SBHiement"down the river. As soon as Lyon and Anderson were oat of sight the Indians continued their journey aud camped in the evening in what is now known as Monroe township, in Henry coun ty. A bell on one of the ponies enabled Lyon and his confederate to keep within hearing distance of the party daring the day. Waiting until about 1 o'clock at nin-ht thev stealthily approached the camp, and after satisfying themselves that the Indians were asleep, they armed themselves with axes that lay near the firs and entered the wigwam. 1 wo strokes ofthsaxinthe hands of Ander son were snffioient to crash the skulls of yowan and fianoy. The first stroke of Lyon however, was not so effective. Owing to the darkness the blow fell upon the shoulder and arm of the .Id man, who immediately arose to his feot A second b ow felled him to tbe ground, when the bloody work was complet ed. The bodies, were then removed and placed beside a log a few rods distant and covered with leaves and brush, after which they returned to the camp, and after satisfy ing tbeit hunger, lay down and slept until mornimr. After counting the money in the morning and securing the ponies and other property that the Indians had with them, they started tor their homes in W ood county. After proceeding- eight or ten miles on the way thev vere met by Ellsworth, when they halted and a consultation was beld. Ellsworth deaired to count the money then and there and it was nanoeo to him for that purpose. After counting it he remarked that that was no place to divide money and put the whole amount uvo tin pocket ar d started for home. A day or two after the horrible tragedy the bodies of tbe murdered Indians were discov ered by the remainder of the hunting party on tneir way noma. The horror-stricken Indians wrapped the bodies of their dead friends in blankets and bore them to Upper Sandusky, where they were interred in the mission graveyard. At the same time messensers were sent to Napoleon and Perrynbnrg, the nearest white seitlemenls, to notify them of the murders. After the lapse of a t ;w days a haster report ed that he had noticed a number of ponies grazing in the vioinity of Ellsworth's tavern. Suspicion at onoe pointed to Ellsworth and his confederates as the guilty parties. Wm. O. Brownell, who was sheriff of Henry county at the time, with five assistants, pro ceeded to Wood county and arrested Ander son and Lyon and found all the property of the Indians in their possession, with the ex- August First, Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-four, is the date of arrival ' of .our FALL PIECE .

Lyon's rick mother was lying on one of tbe blankets that was stained with toe blood of the murdered In dians. After the arrest the prisoners were taken to Napoleon and cue fined in tbe old log jail. They were indicted for murder at tbe follow ing term of court, but two days before the time set for triol they succeeded in breaking jail and making their escape. About four mouths afterwards the friends of Anderson proposed to VYm. Sheffield, ihe prosecuting attorney, that if he would nil tbe indictment aoainat him they would per suade him to return and give evidence that woold oonviot both liyou and Ellsworth of the murders. The desire to oonviot Ells worth was so strong that the prosecutor con sented. About a month afterward Anderson appeared and gave the horrible details of the murders as we have related them. At the conclusion of tbe testimony the prosecutor ordered the theriff to bold him in custody nntil oourt should convene; at tbe same time ha assured Anderson that as soon as his testimony wss given in oourt he should be released fron further prosecution. He was. aooordiosly. oonnned a second time in the old log jail from which be and Lyon had lately escaped by burnings noletnrougn the waU. Arrangements were made for boarding Anderson at the hotel near the river. Brownell called at the jail regularly, three times a day, and conducted him to bis meals. At tbe end of the nrst montn of nis confinement, as be was goi-g to his supper. be broke away from the sheriff, plunged imo tbe river and swam to the opposite shore, where he disappeared in the dark forest. NothiLg was ever heard of the oriminais af terward. . In speaking of this case Col. Johnston says that iu a period of fifty-three years, since he first came to the west, he never knew of but one instance in which a white man was tried and convicted and executed for the murder of an Indian.
