A spo t of more than ord inary In­ terest is whore the fa nous Ind ian fighter, Darnell, leaped across the chasm to safety. Tho falls spoken of in th e narrative following have been out down to a roaring rapids. Darnell was a companion «x Daniel Boone, Simon G irty and Simon Kenton, and had ju st made his Es­ cape from the- Ind ians who had taken him captive. The interesting story of Darnell’s daring leap-for Life, as handed down by tradition is told as follows: “I t will bo remembered by stu ­ dents of h istory th a t in the year 1778. daring ttfc Revolution, Dan­ iel Boone, with twenty-seven others was taken prisoner in Kentucky and brought to Old Chillicothc, as is the Shawanees call it. Through the influence of Ham ilton, the B rit­ ish Governor, Boone w ith ten of his party , was taken to Dettoir, while the remaining seventeen prisoners were left with their savage captors. Among the la tte r number was a man whose name was supposed to oaVo been Darnell. Brave as a lion and cunning as a fox, he resolved to try and effect his escapo. One night, how, i t is no t for us to 'say, lie found himself in a woods no rth ­ west of Clifton*. Beneath th© branches of ainonach of the forest he paused to recru it his strengh when day ligh t suddenly bu rst upon him. No t seeming to comprehend ills dangerous situation, he did not move bu t coolly took a piece of pem- micatt from his pouch and began to devour It. He was not unarmed for he had stoisji his rifle from hi* cap- tors. Th* pcininicau had scarcely been devoured when a noise Occa­ sioned by tho breaking of a twig assailed hi* ears. H is backwoods train ing a t once told him th a t a hu ­ man toot bad broken tho twig, and in an in stan t lie was Oil bis ieet. Turning and looking in the direction of the noise he saw several Ind ians hide themselves behind the trees. He knew them to be Shawanees and therefore hi# b itterest enemies. W hat should he do? The redskins were in ills very path and to try to get beyond them wns to court death by their tomahawks or the terrible stake, Flight seemed th* only a l­ te rn a tiv e - flight in a direction op­ posite to tho course he had marked out. The savages remained behind the trees, intensely watching the wh ite man’s movement. They could have brought him down w ith a bullet, bu t such was no t tlieir in ten tion . They wan ted him to die by fire in their village.
