Mr. K. recalled to Capt. H. how that he had himself left home for Detroit, the preceding autumn, and receiving, when he had proceeded as far as De Charme's,* the intelligence of the Battle of Tippecanoe, he had immediately returned to Chicago, that he might despatch orders to his traders to furnish no ammunition to the Indians ; all that they had on hand was therefore secreted, and such of the traders as had not already started for their wintering-grounds, took neither powder nor shot with thei...r outfit.
Capt. Heald was struck with the impolicy of furnishing the enemy, (for such they must now consider their old neigh- bors,) with arms against himself, and determined to destroy all the ammunition, excepting what should be necessary for the use of his own troops.
On the 13th, the goods, consisting of blankets, broad- cloths, calicos, paints, etc., were distributed, as stipulated.
The same evening, the ammunition and liquor were carried partly into the sally-port, and thrown into a well, which had been dug there to supply the garrison with water, in case of emergency ; the remainder was transported as secretly as possible through the northern gate, the heads of the barrels knocked in, and the contents poured into the river.
