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.

Logan was in a council near Mingo

the Chillicothe elm, Logan became
discontented, surly, and usually was

him always alone, sitting wrapped in
a blanket in the door of his cabin,
his “hide filled with whisky,” smok

when on a visit to an Indian village
in Michigan, by an Indian who claim

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

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
