Twenty years ago a Potawatomi Indian, who had been to Defiance to get his jug filled, on his return broke through the ice, at that time not very thick on the Auglaize near the fort. He bellowed loudly for help, which came, and when a pole was extended to him, he would not take hold until, first they had taken out the jug, to which he held tightly. Poor fellow, in the hour of need he did not forsake his friend.
