The Killing of Jenkins, of Lawrence, by
Gen. Lane.
Vrom the St. Louis Democrat of the Stir.]
The fact that Gains Jenkins, of Lawrence,
was killed by James 11. Lane, on Friday last,
has already been reported by the telegraph.
The particulars of the horrible affair, as we
learn from a gentleman who left the Terri
tory on Saturday morning, are as follows,:
There was a dispute between Lane and
Jenkins concerning a valuable land claim,
lying in close proximity to Lawrence. This
dispute engendered a cordial hatred, which
extended to the private relations of the par
ties. Some weeks ago Lane's family arrived
in Kansas, and Lane took them upon the con
teited claim, without having a legal title to
the same—the suit concerning the title being
"still before the proper tribunal. This action
-- cna-Idle part of Lane excited Jenkins, but noth
iirg--passed between them till Friday, the 4th
instant. On this day Jenkins informed Lane
that he intended drawing sonic water from
the well, on the claim. fine told him to re
frain, but Jenkins paid no attention to the
caution and made his appearance near the
claim during the day. He was provided with
a gun and an axe, and was accompanied by
three companions. As he approached he laid
down his gun, and took up the axe to knock
the chain from the lock by which it was fas
tened. As he stepped forward, Lane appear
ed in front of the house armed with a loaded
shot gun. Jenkins gave a look of defiance
at his enemy, and in the next moment fell to
the earth, a corpse, having received an im
mense charge of buckshot in his breast.
As Jenkins fell, one of his friends fired
three times at Gen. Lane, one ball missing
him, the other grazing his forehead, and the
third burying itself in the calf of his leg,
bringing him to the ground. It was a har
rowing spectacle. The body of Mr. Jenkins
was soon removed and Lane taken into cus
tody. Mrs. Jenkins was nearly crazed at the
fearful intelligence of the death of her hus
band. She is lying in a clangorous condition.
Jenkins bore an excellent character, and his
loss will be deeply regretted.
It is proper to state that Gen. Lane claims
that he was fully justified in shooting down
his adjutant general—for, strange as it may
seem, such Jenkins was—and asserts that he
can establish his justification before the courts
of his country.
The feeling against Lane was general
throughout the Territory.
Last reports indicate that there was some
talk of lynching Lane, but it is hardly pro
bable that this will be done. Lane is at pre
sent in close custody, and his trial will come
off at an early day.
FULLER. PARTICULARS.
The Evening Bulletin publishes a letter,
dated Lawrence, June 3d, giving the follow
ing-version of the affair:
General Lane stated the facts of the case to
be in substance as follows " There has
been some dispute as to the right he has to
take water from the well, and as he abused
my wife in this connection I decided to nail
the gate leading to his premises, and also to
put a lock on the well. This morning he
sent me word by a young man, saying he
should conic tills noon and take some water,
and should not be frightened out of it. I re
plied, tell Jenkins for God's sake not to come,
that I do not intrude on his premises, not
even to visit the grave of my daughter, back
of his house, and that I cannot let him intrude
here—tell hint I beg him not to conic. Im
mediately after dinner I looked out and saw
Cul. Jenkins beating down the gate with an
axe, in company with three armed men. I
went out to the gate and told him to desist.—
He replied with oaths, saying, " You cannot
alarm me, and I will have water at all haz
zards." lie then entered the gate, when, be
ing unarmed, I returned to my house to get
my gun, (the distance being about 100 feet.)
I returned and met them a short distance
front the fence, approaching the well. I or
dered them to stop, which was disregarded.
I then said, do not advance a single step at
the risk of your lives I (or something to this
effect.) They continued to move Forward ;
Colonel Jenkins swung his axe in a mena
ing manner, and his men presenting their
pistols. • I again begged them not to move
another step, but 'twas of no avail, and feel
ing my life in jeopardy, I put my gun to my
shoulder and fired. (The distance was about
twelve feet, and Col. Jenkins fell on his face
and expired immediately.) One of his men
then discharged a pistol at me ; the distance
was only about six or eight feet, and as I
looked into the pistol, I suddenly moved my
head. At this moment he fired, the ball
striking my hair, beside ray forehead. I
then received a ball in my leg, and being
unarmed I retreated to my house."
It appears that owing to the caps being bad
the pistols were not discharged as often as
intended. The ball struck Gen. Lane in the
side of the left leg just below the knee, and
run upwards. It is feared it will make him
a cripple for life. He regrets having killed
Col. Jenkins, but feels justified in shooting
him, as he felt compelled to do in self-defence.
The musket was loaded with shot, ninety
five of them entering his breast. The size of
the shot were 88, the ordinary squirrel shot.
It is very evident that Gen. Lane did not
premeditate an attack upon Col. Jenkins as
his pistols were away being cleansed, the
shot gun being the only weapon remaining
on the premises.
The feeling occasioned by this calamity
was intense. Among Col. Jenkins' friends
their was some talk of lynching Gen. Lane,
but this feeling grew out of the immense ex
citement felt at a tragedy so unexpected ; it
soon abated, and their better judgement
yielded in favor of giving hint an impartial
hearing, and a punishment deserving of the
crime.
For a long time there has existed between
the above parties a very bitter feeling.—
Threats of shooting each other have not been
uncommon. Col. Jenkins remarked to a
friend during the morning that he anticipa
ted a row with Gen. Lane after dinner, and
did not know but 'twould be an ugly one.—
Col. Jenkins' friends do not deny that his
workmen who accompanied him were all
armed, and state that Col. Jenkins put his
rifle beside the fence, and took the axe to cut
down the gate, and after accomplishing this
object, lie laid it down beside the fence.
This statement differs from Gen. Lane's,
Mrs. Lane's, and those of two or more other
witnesses. I think it will be proved that he
retained it in his hand until he was shot.—
Mrs. Lane (the wife of Gen. Lane) gave me
the following particulars : "When we moved
in this house a few weeks ago, we found it
exceedingly dirty and required a great deal
o . f water to cleanse it, consequently the water
in the well was very low and dirty. Colonel
Jenkins' men frequently came for water ; we
spoke to them about the condition of it and
urged them not to get any more of it ; they
disregarded this and the water was still un
settled, so my husband decided to lock the
well. Col. Jenkins came soon after, and
with an axe commenced breaking it open.-
1 told him I thought it very ungentlemanly
in him to do so against my desire. I then
took hold of the axe and said, if you insist
on doing it you must get another axe. I also
added that my husband would soon return,
and that he ought to desist until he came.—
He then went to a neighbor's house and got
an axe, but decided not to use it. This
morning a young man came and told my
husband that Colonel Jenkins intended to
come during the evening, and was deter
mined to have some water. My husband
told him to go back and beseech Colonel J.
not to do it. I said to my husband that Col.
J. would probably shoot him if he resisted,
and that he ought to send for assistance.—
He replied, no, I will risk myself. I then
said, let me go after your pistols, you cer
tainly will be in danger without them. PK>,
compelled me to remain, and said he had a
single-barrelled shot gun in case of emergen
cy. After dinner I saw Col.•J. chopping
down the gate with three armed men. My
husband went to him unarmed, and asked
him to desist. Col. J. had succeeded in
gaining an entrance, and was approaching
my husband with an uplifted axe. I sup
posed he would kill my husband, and I hur
ried into the house so as not to witness it.—
(It was at this time that General L. returned
to the house, got the gun, and shot him.)
Gen. Lane and the men under Col. Jenkins
have been duly arrested, and an impartial
trial will doubtless be had. Gen. L. is in
considerable pain, the ball not having been
extracted. Both were brave men and jealous
of their honor, and each determined not to
succumb. This, and not the water, I believe,
was the cause of the fatal collision. The
house in which Gen. Lane lives was built by
a man by the name of Chapman, who, Col.
Jenkins says, was his agent. The digging
of the wall was paid for by Jenkins, and not
to have the use of it exasperated him. Gen.
Lane maintains that he bought all, the land
and improvements, of Mr. Chapman, three
years ago. Various other things in addition
to this makes it a very knotty case. Mrs.
Jenkins has often remarked to her husband
that the claim would cost him his life. The
above I believe to be an impartial statement
of this unfortunate affair.
The Money Glut
In the language of Wall street, there is a
glut in the money market. The banks can
not obtain enough good paper to meet their
ability to discount, and the private discount
ing houses are puzzled to find profitable em
ployment for their funds. The money glut
is even greater in London than here ; and at
last dates, first-class bills were readily nego
tiated at one-half of one per cent. discount.
This state of the money market gives anima
tion to the stock market, but it indicates an
unhealthy condition of business. The capi
tal which should be flowing through all ar
teries of trade, commerce, and industry, giv
ing health and activity to business enterprise,
and employment to labor, has been drawn
back into the great financial centres, until its
accumulation becomes oppressive.
But this condition, of things, the natural
result of the panic, cannot long continue,
and when this accumulated capital begins to
circulate again freely through all the chan
hels of trade and industry, new life and new
vigor will be imparted to business enterprise,
and labor will find abundant and profitable
employment.
There is one satisfactory thought suggest
ed by the money glut. It proves that there
is abundant capital in the country to carry
on its legitimate works of material improve
ment._ It is not money that we want, but a
proper use of the money that we have, to re
vive our prosperity. There is plently of
money in the country to employ, and plenty
of food to feed every willing worker in the
land ; and if our capitalists, and merchants,
and manufacturers will use their means and
their opportunities wisely and well, they
may make the close of 1858 as prosperous
and promising as the close of 1857 was dis
astrous and discouraging.—N. Y. Sun.

Considerable excitement exists in conse
quence of recent discoveries of gold on Frazer
river, in the British possessions; 1500 per
sons left San Francisco for the mines. The
advices are highly favorable.
The Indians are troublesome. At Plumas
a fight occurred between the savages and
whites ; 20 Indians were killed.
Twenty gamblers have been indicted at
Sacramento, including Ned M'aowan.
Cul. Freemont has entered a complaint
against the Mercer Mining Company, for tres
pass and waste on Mariposa, involving very
important mining interests.
The negroes of San Francisco are preparing
to emigrate to Vancouver's Island. The re
ports of pioneers are highly favorable.
S. Galley, a French importer, was assassi

The news from Oregon and Washington is
unimportant. The Frazer river gold excite

On the Death of Dr. Henry A. Dorsey
DY THE BARD OF MOUNTAIN GLEN
Ye Brothers in the healing art attend,
And drop one tear for a dear, noble friend,
'Whom tyrant Death bath rudely from you torn,
And made humanity and friends to mourn!
Insatiate Death! thy name is fraught with fear,
E'en to the wretch to whom no tic is dear,—
A bitter bane, a terror and a dread,
To men in irons or to misery wed,
Or• to the aged whose fund hopes are dead.
In any shape thou art a fearful thing,
But doubly bitter in life's blooming spring.
When the young life-blood in full vigor flows,
And future promise to the fond view glows,—
When hope is high, and fancy to the mind
Paints brilliant goals of happiness to find,—
When love burns warmly in the gladsome heart,
And some dear object seems of us a part—
'Tis then that pity's self must drop a tear,
When ends in night ambition's bright career.
0, noble DORSEY! frank and gen'rons friend!
Who that has known thee but deplores thine end?
Kind to a fault, and ready to forgive,
True, open-hearted, scorning to deceive;
Blind to all faults, and oft forgetting wrong,
Oft made the victim of the heartless throng;
Ge'irons to friends in sorrow, weal or woe,
A friend to all, but to yourself a foe!
Fair genius weeps at thy untimely fate,
For Time but tarried to have marked thee great!
And must thy spirit take so sudden flight,
When life's fair prime just ushers into light
Those noble qualities of heart and mind?
Must buoyant hope such quick oblivion find?
Must the pale May-moon in sweet sadness weep,
O'er thy dark grave where worth and goodness sleep?
The wild Spring flowers, which plucked mid withering,
Of thy hard fate a sad remembrance bring;
And the soft breeze, that wafts above thy tomb,
Sings a lune requiem o'er thy narrow home.
Aspic ing man! and this thy certain doom,
To live and love,—to languish and desire,—
To taste life's mingled pleasures, and expire !
Peace to thine ashes, friend, so lowly laid;
Thy debt of Mauro hast been early paid.
And let no zealot lessen now thy mood,
AMID' a stranger to his vaunted creed;
The gen'rous glow that filled thy honest heart
Knew not the subtle, low dissembler's art;
Without the garb that marks the bigot's clan,
You knew your duty, and, to play the man.
Let the Great Power who weighs the deeds of all
Decide thy merits, now in death's dark pale;
all thine humble friend, the bard, desires,
'Tie all that mercy, justice, Heaven requires.
May ill, IS3S.

lALBEAUTIFUL HEAD OF RICH
GLOSSY HAIR. COMPLETELY PRESERVED TO
THE GREATEST AGE.—And who that i'3 -gray would
not have it restored to former color; or bald, but would
have the growth restored, or troubled with dandruff and
itching but would have it removed, or troubled with scrof
ula, scald head, or other eruptions,
but would be cured,
or with sick headache, (neuralgia) but would be cured._
lt will also remove all pimples from the face and skin.—
Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative will do all this, see circular
and the following:
PROF. 0. J. Woon—Dear Sir: I have heard much said
of the wonderful effects of your Hair Restorative, but hav
ing been so often cheated by quackery and quack nos
trums, hair dyes, &c., I was disposed to place your Resto
rative in the same category with the thousand and one
loudly trumpeted quack remedies, until I met yon in
Lawrence county some months since, when you gave me
such assurance as induced the trial of yoga• Restorative in
my family—first by my good wife, whose hair had become
very thin and entirely white, and before exhausting one
of your large bottles, her hair was restored nearly to its
original brown color, and had thickened and become beau
tiful and glossy upon, and entirely over the head ; she
continues to use it, not simply because of its beautifying
effects upon the hair, but because of its healthful influence
upon the head and mind. Others of my family and friends
are using your Restorative, with the happiest
_effects;
therefore, my scepticism and doubts in reference to its
character and value are entirely removed; and I can and
do most cordially and confidently recommend its use by
all who would have their hair restored from white or gray
(by reason of sickness or ago,) to original color and beauty,
and by all young persons who would have their hair
beautiful and glossy.
Very truly and gratefully yours,
SOLOMON MANN,
FRIEND WOOD : It was a long time after I saw you at
Blissfield before I got the bottle of Restorative for which
you gave me au order upon your agent in Detroit, and
when I got it we concluded to try it en Mrs. Mann's hair,
as the surest test of its power. It has done all that you
assured me it would do; and others of my family and
friends, having witnessed its effects, are now using and
recommending its use to others as entitled to the highest
consideration you claim for it.
Again, very respectfully and truly, yours,
SOLOMON MANN.
I have ilSea Prof. 0. J. `F'ood's Hair Restorative, and
have admired its wonderful effects. My hair was beacn
ing as I thought, prematurely gray, but by the use of his
Restorative it has resumed its original color, and I have
no doubt, permanently so.

medicines now before the public, that acts as a Cathartic,

accomplishing two purposes effectually, without any of the

Cathartics. It strengthens the system at the same time

D I R. HARDMAN, Physician for the

as follow :
lluntingdon, Jackson's Hotel, Sunday, June
Dr. Hardman is compelled to nittke his Jnne up:
',ointment on Sunday, or disappoint the sick.
Dr. Hardman treats Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma,
Larryngittis and all diseases of the throat and lungs, by
Medical Inhalation, lately used in the L'ronrton Hospital
London. The great point in the treatment of all human
maladies, is ti , get at the disease in the direct manner.—
All medicines arc estimated by their action upon the organ
requiring relief. This is the important feet upon whitli
Inhalation is based. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicine directly into the stomach. If the lungs are dis
eased, breathe or inhale medicated vapors directly into
the lungs. Medicines are antidotes to disease and should
lie applied to the very seat of disease. Inhalation is the
application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs,
for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells, and
tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of ad
ministering medicines. The reaf:un that Consumptiod,
and other diseases of the lungs, have heretofore resisted
all treatment has been because they have never been rip
proached in a direct manner by medicine. They were in
tended to act upon the lungs. and yet were applied to the
stomach. Their action was intended to he local, and yet,
they were so administered that they should only act con
stitutionally, expending their immediate and principalaC
tion upon the unoffending stomach, whilst the foul ulcer;:i
within the lungs were unmolested. Inhalation brings
the medicine in direct contact with the disease, without
tire disadvantage of any violent action. Its application is
so simple, that it can be employed by the youngest infant
or feeblest invalid. It does not derange the stomach, or inv .
terfere in the least degree with the strength, comfort,
business of the patient.
Other Diseases Treated.—ln relation to the following dis
eases, either when complicated with lung affections or ex
isting alone, I also invite consultation, I usually find them
promptly curable.
Prolapsus and all other forms of Female Complaints, Ir
regularities and Weakness.
Palpitation and all other forms of Heart Disease, Livid'
Complaints, Dyspepsia, and all other diseases of stomach
and bowels, &c.
All diseases of the eye and car. Neuralgia, Epilc"psy,
and all forms of nervous disease.
