Reminiscences of his uncle, Philip FRITZ (1804-1881,) of Wayne Co., Ohio:
"---Samuel and John FRITZ, Isaac DECOURCEY, John HUFFMAN, and myself went up to Chippewa lake to hunt, and took our provisions with us. I was left in charge of the eatables, and the balance went to the woods to hunt. While I was watching the provisions eight Indians approached me, and I was terribly frightened. They at once commenced laying off their knives, guns and tomahawks, and advancing to where I had a large fire built, one of them, who could speak English, said, 'White man foolish; makes big fire and sits away off; Indian makes little fire and sits up close.' They then went to the edge of the lake and began jumping on the muskrat houses, and just as fast as the inmate popped out they popped him, and so they kept on until out of one of these largest mud-houses sprang a beaver, which was instantly killed, and then they whooped and danced and drank.---" See Douglas's HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY, p.631 for full text.
