A Knife Anil Its llistwy
"
Turner who resides
Col. W. M.
nt Greenhorn mountain and is large-
ly intereatcd in mine, there, mo -
the editor with a common
iHH kei knife while in town the oth-
1
er day, that has a peculiar history,
inasmuch as its useluluess dates
l-.uk lo the lime when this country
of ours was hut little more thnn a
wilderness.
The history of the knife is such
an one as would entitle it to an hon
ored place among the archives of
the government for the prominent
bubiltttion of the millions who call
our glorious country their home.
No greater a iiersonnjio than Daniel
Hoonc s rather Innight the knife at
an bumble village in Ohio, paying
therefor two coon nkins to a trailer.
When Daniel became of age and
Kentucky, where the greater num
Iht of Hiwne's exploits were had,
Daniel and the elder Mr. Turner
wore riding along the road relum
ing from a Methodist cntnp meeting,
and slopped in a turnip field to fill
up on raw turnips. While they
were busy doing Ibis I bey did not
notice n bunch of redskins who
sneaked up and stampeded their
horses. The two men were now in
! n sorry plight, and must light their i
. adversaries band to hand (they had
bows nnd arrows, but would not
shoot the men, but were Having them
' lot u
.urw. ...nnii- put on aniie
up lus sleeve and assumed an atti
tude of humble icsignatlou until
' the Indians went to see and bind
him. when he struck right mid left
with his faithful blade, felling sev
en Indians to the earth. At this
opjKirtunc moment sonic horsemen
coming along the road frightened
I the remainder of the band and they
j made off.
I Thus, from lliu humble occupa
tion of peeling turnip the knife was
suddenly transformed into an tdixir
of life, and was the means of saving
Boone and Turner from a death at
the stakeand making slenk for
lieliau dogs.
Several yonis before bis death
Boone presented the knifo to Col.
Turner's grandfather its a keepsake,
and as time rolled on the historic
memento descended into tin (nickel
of (he Col., w ho now piescnts it to
the Nkws iis an evidence of good
will. We prize both very highly.
