TecuiUieh, the wily Bha wnee sach on!, had <onie south to rouse the Creek* against the United States gov* eminent- Ho hud brought along shrewd Medicine Men to work little hand made miracles for the benefit of apy hu. vii go who might bo reluctant to Join ili? enterprise. Red Ragle, tho Creek chieftain, was already on the Bhawnees' aide, and many of the Crooks Wiirc willing to take Up arms In Tecuinseh'a behalf with the British against tho United States in tho war of 1 HI 2. I Jut many others wero el 111 doubtful To win these TecumHeh proittlHod to ItlttKo one of their own trtbcKftieyi u prophet and to let the (Iroat Spirit speak to thorn through this new prophet's voice. So ho chose for thfs purpose lllUHJadJo, better known as Josiah Francis, a half-breed Indian . How Francis Became a Prophet. Francis wan locked Into a hut and kept there ten days while one of To cumuli's Medicine Men Invoked the Great Spirit'* aid in making Frnncls a prophet, As the t<?nth day drew to a clone- the Medicine Man threw open the door of tho hut and led Franca forth. Francis had seemipgly been etrjk'lu u blind and groped his way awkwardly to the circle of onlookers. Tho Medicine Man explained that soon the Qrent Spirit would not only re* store the man's oyes but would ,4cid prophetic vision to them. While' the Medicine M ;?n was speaking Francis suddenly called out that the miracu lous sight had come, upon him. In honor of his gift of prophecy Francis was made a chief. He was appointed pne of Red Ragle's lieuten ants and performed many a bloody deed Inthe Creek war that ensued. Red Eagle sent hjm with a fdrce of braves to destroy the white men's farmhouses and stockade forts in the fork of land bounded by the Alabama and Tomblg bbe rivers. Francis first attacked a fortified farmhouse, burning it and killing twelve of its seventeen defen ders. The garrison and women and 1 children of the neighboring Fort Sin queflcld turned out in a body to at* tend tho burial of these victims. As the garrison started to march back in advance of the women and chil dren Francis attacked the fort. The soldiers lVaehed the gates ahead of him. but the helpless women and chil ,dren were cut off from safety by a throng of furious Indians. Then It was that a young huntsman named Haden performed one of the most spectacular acts In all warefare. He had a It of sixty ferocious hounds with which he was returning to th* fort from a hunting trip. He shouted an order to Ills dogs and charged, with the whole snarling, l>4tlng pack, ' straight Into the Indian ranks. Tho dogs flew madly at the savages, rend ing them and hurling them to earth. Before the maddened animals could be beaten off the garrison had rallied and had carried the women and clill dren safely Inside tho stofckade. j When the Creeks were at last over I whelmed by C?en. Andrew Jackson and | the war was at an end Francis was I lucky enough to escape. None knew \ whether he had fled. . Jackson in his report, written on April 18.1814, says. "Hllll-Hadjo,* their great prophet, lias absconded." Soon afterward Francis made his way to England to beg for certain concessions be believed the British government could grant his tribe. An English paper thus de r-rr'hea his public appearance in lion "The sound of trumpets announced tho approach of the patriot. Francis, who fought so gloriously In our cause in America during the late war. Be ing dressed In a most splendid suit of red and gold and wearing a tomahawk set with gold gave him a highly im posing appearnnce." v l.rvelor.n Girl Saves Whlt? Man. Y1 1 his mission in England came to no'N'^S and he returned to take up the VY? of outlaw chief,- ruling over a I':- ?! of lawless Indians. -His head er': -!ers was at Mikasuki. Thither in 1 8 ' " c party of ' is braves brought a rnyf've white man, McKrlmmon by r. Frrncia condemned the pria <m 10 be burnt, to death at the stake.
