Killburn was the name of one of the first settlers of the area, and the hero of this thrilling story. As these savages crept up to killburn's house, he got the first shot. And with much help from a Colonel Bellows and his men, the savages were taken down. Killburn suffered a bullet to the hip and died from a lack of proper medical aid.
It is the stories such as these that make us remember how lucky we are and how we are progressively ridding ourselves of the "Indian problem".
Funny how so much happens in February! My paper was from that time too!
