C. present day occurrences will bo systematically recorded; preserved to show future residents of Butler county, to what they owe their progress.

Seldom dqes a day puss which is not tho anniversary some event reaching the part played by Butler county in acquiring- nnd enriching the Northwest Territory for United States. Stories kept by the historically-minded prove that Butler county pioneers ivero most ac- tiva in a i Ohio ns prominent as it is today. As for January 10, was the ono hundred forty-third year since a bloody Indian nttnek upon Dnnlnp's Station, just ton miles south of present-day Hamilton. Fortunately the story is preserved so that tribute ntny 1m pnid to the memory of tho small group of brave pioneers, whose hardships led to Iho building of Fort Hnmil- lon, and tho rapid progress in the ilinmi volley. Across River From Venice Picture.

Dunlap's Station at the of tho year 1790, ns it stood on Iho ITainil ton -Butler county line, across tho river from Venice. A snbsUiuliul blockhouse surrounded by a slockado on three sides nnd tho murky Big Miami its protection on tho fourth side, was (lie haven of EL few pioneers who dared settle in tho country north of the Ohio river, in tho Miami valley. On Iho north side of llio sloekiido Iho Horn, McDonald, Bur roll tmd Barker families hud i their cabins, while tho family lived south of Iho fort. Lieutenant Kiiigsbtu-y, of Iho United States Army, ruled over bis garrison of Iwclvo soldiers within Ibe slocknde. Their names were Taylor, Neef, O'Neal, O'Lonry, Lincoln, a Strong, Sowers, Murphy, Abul, A Viear and Wiscmtiti.

Explorers Attacked Few I i a were seen in neighborhood until Jfiriwiry On a day, four explorers, Sloan, Hun Cunningham and Wallace, had breakfast in their cinnp across tho river below Dunlap, only to be attacked by appeared to be a small parly of Indian scouts. Thenco follows the story which might well luivc been recounted to pioneer children to terrify Die in into staying in their own backyards. Cunningham was killed i Hunt tiiken captive; nnd Sloan, though wounded, escaped with lace lo Dtmlap Htntion. Of course, tho giu-rison Station was afraid of i i a attack. Tho few families outside I lie slockade were quickly assembled in tins blockhouse i al! their portable belongings- A steady a i changing to during- the nfter- noon, added to tho strain of the watchers in the fort, As no sign of Indian cnmpfires could be seen, Wallace crossed the river with a scouting party and buried Cunningham.

Tho a encountered no Indians. Fortunately Lacked a Bed Fear of attack grew loss intense becau.so no I i a appeared and the scaro was a i Eo a small scout party. At i a sentinels werii posted as a matter of routine. Moat of the garrison rft- i for night, except few timid inmntcs and Lieutenant wlu bad no bed to go to bo- cause tho wounded explorer, SLonnc, occupied it. was fortunate for the group that Kingsbury had no bed, for weary guards wtjnt to sleep.

AI dawn, i a Kingnbu wishing lo find (junrlcrs in a cnbin iti tho enclosure, opened thn door of I bo blockhouse, only to i rral India us creeping toward him. lio quickly barred door, woke (lie garrison, and siege on.

And Hunt bogged a Dunlap surrender lo tho I i a in order to prevent his being tortured iti re- venge.

During tho parley, Iho besieged gflvo their answer by Inking pot-shots nt the Indians. Tho xi It nek Iiegnii on Sunday morning, January 9, 1701. The be- eic-gcd had just enough bullets to allow each of tho 26 men about 2-J shots. Upon learning tho scarcity of shot, the women began casting their pewter plates and spoons in in bullets, nnd joined the men in jcer- ng the enemy. Three-Day Siege Starts Thus began a tlirci-lay fight.

Tho first night, Hunt, prisoner of tho savages, was partly stripped, tied cruelly in the clearing before the fort nnd tortured to death, slotrly, throughout tho night. During the next day, January 10, Wallace nnd an 18-year-old soldier, Wiseman, managed to leave the fort in canoe, to seek aid from Fort Washington. Tho IiidzHiis, thinking to capture (bo fort before reinforcements conic arrive, continued siego until a a and EXERCISES CONDUCTED Joinl insinuation of officers of Grnbbs Bagley Camp No. IB, Untied iSpnmsh War Veterans and tho Women's Auxiliary of the eiiinp took- pl.ice Tuesday night at (lio Soldiers' nnd Sailors' monument.

A rescue party wns formed, including young John IfeiJy, Patrick Moore, and Samuel Davis, all of whom later became prominent citizens of Duller counly.
