In the spring of 1774 five Indian men, a squaw arid baby who were camped on the northwest bank of the Ohio River at the mouth of Yel low creek, 17 miles north of Steuben ville, crossed the river to visit a party of white persons on the op posite bank. The whites gave them rum on which three Indians became drunk. The other two men and woman refused to drink. The whites challenged the sober Indians to shoot at a mark and as soon as the Indians’ guns were empty, shot them down. The woman then was killed, the three drunken Indians tomahawked and the baby carried away. The Indians re maining at Yellow creek tried to es cape but were killed by the whites near Wheeling, W. Va. Seeks Revenge1 For Murder Logan was in a council near Mingo Junction, trying to keep the Indians from making war on the whites when a courier came in and told of the massacre opposite Yellow creek. The sober Indians that were killed were Logan’s father and brother, and the woman was his sister.

His father named him their meat and skins to the He called himself “John” Logan Killed the traditional speech under After the Chillicothe elm, Logan became discontented, surly, and usually was drunk. Old settlers told of seeing him always alone, sitting wrapped in a blanket in the door of his cabin, his “hide filled with whisky,” smok ing a corncob pipe. He was killed when on a visit to an Indian village in Michigan, by an Indian who claim ed the old chief had wronged him. Simon Girty, interpreter to whom Logan spoke under the elm, was the worst of three bad Girty brothers. A fourth brother, Thomas, kept out of trouble. When carried off by Ii them for three and after he wa iians and lived with years. He liked it, liberated went back to live with the Wyandottes and then with the Senecas, of whose tribe he became a member. He grew as ferocious as any Indian and took part in their warfare against the whites. Simon led the Indian attack on Ft Henry, Wheeling, and was with the Indians in their attacks on Bryan’s and Baker’s stations, Lexington, Ky. There the Indians were beaten off, but ambushed the pursuing whites and killed most of them. He also was active in the defeat of St. Ci air and in the massacre at Colerain, near Cincinnati. terror in every backwoods cabin in Virginia and Kentucky. Monument Near Carey An eight-foot roadside monument on the Wentling farm, near Carev, Wyandotte County, is inscribed: “In memory of Crawford, who was burn ed by the Indians in this valley June 11, 1782.” That was Col. William Crawford, who was bunted at the stake within 100 feet of the monu ment after his command had been tricked into a three-day armistice, then defeated by the Wyandottes, commanded by Girty and the Indian chief, Wingenund. Girty knew Crawford and had scouted with him around Wheeling. Dressed anc( pa nted as an Indian he stood by and •acthed when a word would have saved the victim. To Crawford’s apptals for mercy as the flames ncirciccr him and hot coals were pi! ed on his breast, Girty an swered ‘I can do noth Tig.
