Crossing the St. John's at Picolata, Newnan arrived on the third day at the foot of Lake Pithlachocco, now called New-' nan's Lake, a few miles distant from Payne's town, near Mi- canopy. They here encountered about one hundred and fifty warriors under Payne and Bowlegs. King Payne, mounted on a white horse, displayed great gallantry in leading his men into action. Newnan's men feigned a retreat and drew the Indians out in pursuit, when, suddenly turning on them, they killed a large numl^er and... mortally wounded King Payne. The Indians fled, but returned at night and renewed the attack upon Newnan's forces, who had in tlie meanwhile entrenched them- selves. The engagement lasted for several hours, but the steady valor of the whites forced the Indians finally to retreat, carrying off their dead and wounded. Newnan, however, was kept besieged for eight days, until, under cover of night, he was able to withdraw his men and retreated towards the St. John's. The Indians followed in pursuit, but were repulsed, and Newnan's force, met by a relieving force, reached Picolata in safety.
