The date: April 26, 1871. McMillan. frequently made such excursions through the swamps on the pretense of tracking down the Lowry Gang. The high sheriff was well aware, however, of the fact that Henry Berry would life kept well informed of the posse's whereabouts; the In dian leader had countless eyes and ears scattered throughout the Scuffletown area Serving as lookouts for him. It was seldom, if ever, a federal command or posse entered the swamps without Henry Berry being well aware of their express purpose and where abouts. But the sheriff had to present the appearance of being relentless and persistent in his quest to rid the county of the Lowry Gang; his voters expected it. More likely than not, this was the reason that he called out only nine whites to help him in his charade. The posse was not expecting to find anyone at the home of Henry Berry located on the southern tip of Back Swamp near Asbury Church. Much to their amazement, however, the enticing sound of a banjo greeted their ears, coming from the direction of Henry Berry’s cabin. The Indian legend’s love for music was well-known. Dollar signs clouded the posse’s vision. Could it be possible the entire gang was inside the cabin? If they bagged the entire gang how much would each member’s share of the bounty be? McMillan was determined to take advantage of their uncom monly good luck at not being detected 'by any of Henry Berry’s many friends and sympathizers. Perhaps the size of the posse had some thing to do with this. The posse made their way ever so carefully nearer the cabin. When they neared the edge of the clearing wbich surrounded the cabin, the posse spotted the armed guard; the whites knew Henry Berry would not be inside the c^in without an armed lockout posted Some where ouside. The lookout proved to be Boss Strong, Henry Berry’s brother-io-law and most trusted friend and com panion. Strong was walking along the edge of the clearing keeping his keen senses ever alert to the first sign bf distress or danger. He was armed with a double barreled shotgun plus a number of hand Not far from the cabin sat the eve^elusive Applewhite. He was relaxing, simply enjoying the nice spring day. The men spotted Henry Berry inside the cabin with his wife and three children. He was serenading them with his banjo. No other members of die Gang could bb seen. McMillan and the men held a brief and quiet strategy meet ing. It was decided that with so much bounty money involved there was but one alternative. The plan of action was to shoot Boss Strong, as the rest of the gang (if there were any more ! in the ci*in) attemp ted to escape from the cabin they would all be shot dowq. If this failed they were prepared to rush the cabin and simply overpower the Indian inhabi tants. A badly-aimed shot was '; fired at Strong. Because the Indian youth was still walking his post, the bullet missed its mark completely. Strong instantly flung himself to the ground. He crawled around the cabin, bullets strik ing all about him, and enter ed the cabin. Applewhite followed suit. With total disregard to the three children-one of whom was an 8-month-old baby - and the woman inside, the posse began riddling the c^in with shots. The inhabitants of the cabin returned the fire. It seemed Henry Berry was trapped once again. What was in store for him now? More next week.
