They then followed to harass the rear of their retreating foes, but were beaten off in turn.

Of the whites, nine were killed and two or three wounded; the Indians' loss was two killed and five or six wounded.

The Detroit people had been busily organizing expeditions against Kentucky.

Captain Henry Bird had been given charge of one, and he had just collected two hundred Indians at the Mingo town when news of the attack on Chillicothe arrived.

Instantly the Indians dissolved in a panic, some returning to defend their towns; others were inclined to beg peace of the Americans.
