On the 16th of June as Capt. James BOOTH & Nathaniel COCHRAN were at work in a field on Booth's creek, they were fired at by the Indians. BOOTH fell, but COCHRAN being very slightly wounded, took to flight. He was however, overtaken, & carried into captivity to their towns. From thence he was taken to Detroit, where he remained some time; & endeavoring to escape from that place, unfortunately took a path which led him immediately to the Maumee old towns. Here he was detained awhile, & then sent back to Detroit where he was exchanged & from whence he made his way home, after having to endure much suffering & many hardships.He was not only an active & enterprising man, but was endowed with superior talents & a better education than most of those who had settled in the country; & on these accounts was very much missed.
