HISTORICAL SKETCH.
the Captains and men belonging to said companies, with many others, assembled in Crawfordsville on the day designated; so that by noon on said day the town was crowded with men and boys who were fully determined to give Black Hawk and his followers a terrible blow.
On the following Sabbath, while a number of our citizens were seated in front of John Mack's Hotel, discussing the prob- abilities of a severe fight with Black Hawk, a man by the name of Pierce, who was traveling on foot from Clinton county to Parke county, and Crawfordsville being on the direct route, it was known to a few of our citizens that he would come by the way of Judge Ketcham's farm (now the Poor Farm), and that Pierce was very much alarmed about the Indians, looking on each side of the road as he passed for Indians. Two mischiev- ous boys hearing that Pierce would pass through town in two or three hours, dressed up in Indian style, painting their faces and otherwise fixing up so as to resemble the Indians; with loaded guns in hand they proceeded up the long lane between Judge Ketcham's house and town, and entered a corn field about two hundred yards from the residence of Judge K., and waited for the approach of Pierce.
In a very short time Pierce made his appearance, and was soon opposite the place where the boys were concealed. After he had passed the point named about seventy-five yards, the boys sprang from their concealment, jumped the fence, fired off the gun, and took after Pierce, who commenced running at the top of his speed. Such a foot-race has not been seen since nor before.
Pierce thought that his life was at stake and ran like a deer. When he arrived at the north side of Major Whitlock's improve- ment, he jumped the fence and continued his flight to the Bowen corner, turned west and ran into Mack's Hotel, and as he passed through town he bellowed out "Injen ! Injen ! Injen !" and as he entered the hotel he exhorted the men in

front of the hotel to procure rifles, shot-guns and axes at once, as the Indians were but a few steps behind him. Pierce took his position inside of the hotel, trembling and sweating great drops of sweat, and could not be induced to come out in the street. The sudden appearance of the man alarmed a number of our citizens, but it was soon ascertained that the Indians were citizens of our own town; and thus ended the first warlike dem- onstration upon the place.
EARLY RECORDS.
The following entries on order book in the Auditor's office in Montgomery county, may be interesting to some of our readers :
"Ordered by the Board of Commissioners, that Eliakim Ash- ton be paid the sum of two hundred and ninety-five dollars for building the Court House. August II, 1823."
"Ordered by the Board of Commissioners, that William P. Ramey be paid three dollars for his services as lister of Mont- gomery county, out of any money not otherwise appropriated. August, 1823."
"Ordered by the Board of Commissioners, the following rate of taxes be paid the present year: Every horse, mare or mule, 25 cents ; each yoke of oxen, 182 cents; each silver watch, 122 cents; each male person, 25 cents. August, 1823."
We have only to contrast the above orders with those of the present day to convince our minds that we are growing in wealth and population rapidly.
The number of votes polled at the first election for county of- ficers was sixty-one. This was in 1823. In 1874 the number of voters of the county is over six thousand.

UNION TOWNSHIP.
UNION TOWNSHIP.
UNION TOWNSHIP is located exactly in the center of Mont- gomery county ; it is large, and contains more than one hun- dred square miles. Union township either corners with or borders on every other township in the county. The surface is from level to a hilly. The soil is generally good. The township is watered by Big Sugar Creek and its numerous branches. The public improvements are generally good. Crawfordsville is the principal town in the township, and as it is the county seat, is noticed in the historical sketch of the county given in this book. The other towns are small and only of local importance; Whitesville, on the L. N. A. & C. R. R. is a very pleasant little village. The people of Union township are generally in good circumstances, moral and affable. The city of Crawfordsville contains a population of over 4,000 inhabitants and is incorporated. There are two school houses belonging to the city, valued at $75,000. The vote of the township is about 2,200, the Republicans having a majority.
