Continued from page 1. AN ATTEMPTED ESCAPE After journeying westward a number of days Miss Leininger very foolishly at- tempted to escape, but was secu recap tured, After due consultation the In dians decided to burn her as a warning to others who might make a similar at- tempt. Considering the fact that they were sayages, the Indians showed a singular consideration for the condemned girl by telling her to prepare for death, To this end they gave herthe French | Bible they had taken from the LeRoy bome. This she was unable to read, so they bunded her a German Bible which After giving her, as they thought, sufficient time for | preparation they gathered a quantity of | { wood, and were | moved to pity by promise never about to carry their | purpose into execution when they were her bitter cries and | cape.

The French made many tempting of fers to the girls to remain with them, but upon considering the uncertainty of the war then in progress, and the kindness of Galaske, their captor, they concluded that their chances of rescue or wisely escape would be better by remaining with him the present. After two months they went Sa. cum, an Indian town at the conflaence of the Beaver with the Allegheny Here they remained & year and a half, laboring harder than ever, clearing land for the Indian nobles. YISIT OF FREDERICK POST for with Galaske to river Three years had passed, during which | time the girls bad seen no Penusvivani- ans but captives, when their dreary ex. istence was cheered by the sudden ap- pearance of a strapger from Eastern Pennsylvania. This was noue other than the celebrated Moravian minister, Frederick Post, whom the authorities bad sent to the Indians for the purpose of inducing them to cease hostilities. Post was well known to the Indians, and they trusted him and his visit was not without good results, His journey covered over a thousand miles, traveling all alone, with a heavy price on his head It was predicted that "he would never return to Pennsylvania Gordon was fra. | alive. God's everlasting arm was | around him and he reached Lancaster, stand meets the approval of all good citl- | zens of the State. IT is hard to keep track of the Pos masters at Howard, Pa., these days, as | every three months a new man is ap pointed. The republican roosters from that section as a result have been spend. ing more time legging after Chairman W. F, Reeder, or Judge Love, than at: tending to their own business. The citi. zens of Howard are thinking seriously of putting their postoffice on wheels so that it can be easily carted from one lot to another as the Bellefonte politicians change orders, It is estimated that W, ¥F. Hall, recently appointed, will hold the office about three months and the kickers will get him fired. Those In line for promotion are said to be Hayes Schenck, James Hayes or Bob Cook, politicians of the first water and each with a strong pull. | | i Penna.
