Wayne on the Maumee Aug. 20 1794. Gen. Wayne with 900 troops, obtained such a complete vic tory over the forces opposing him, that the Indians decided after wards that it was folly to listen to the British, and war against such a veteran as Gen. Wayne. This battle which resulted later inthe Greenville Treaty, was called the battle of Fallen Timbers. It is said in history that the Sauks could not stand up to the fire arms in the battle, but after seeing how it was going against their indian allies they pulled out and went home.
