P.27 - March 1797. "However unpleasant it was to the governor, that
"the lives of so many of these people should have been taken, no other
"course could possibly be pursued; for it was their custom, when
"they found themselves more numerous and better armed than
"the white people, to demand with insolence whatever they wanted; and,
"if refused, to have recourse to murder. This check, it was hoped,
"would have a good effect; and presumably, who had received seven
"buck shots in his head and different parts of his body, was taken

Kissing Point, another district, they dangerously wounded a
