In the morning of September 7th, Captain WOODWORTH with his company marched out of Fort Dayton to scout along the West Canada Creek. About ten o'clock that morning about two miles from the fort they discovered the tracks of a raiding party. They followed the trail for about another mile when one of Woodworth's men in advance spotted an Indian and fired at him.

Suddenly the air was filled with the whizzing of musket balls and war shoops of the Indians. WOODWORTH and his men had fallen into an ambush set by Lieutenant Jacob CLEMENT of Butler's Rangers with about eighty Indians and Butler's Rangers. About ten of Woodworth's men fell dead from the first volley.

Captain WOODWORTH and about nineteen others were killed.
