and he patidittlY 'awaited ilia prope r
- !Soon aftersunrijse,' . oll the, morning:of
the 21st, an-advanced gnard of the'Mar-j
sties army, consisting of about two hun
dred' horsemen,. appeared on the top of
Mount, .(? read , on the outskiiti of the
town-of Lawrence, where their cannon
had been stationed late on the preceding
night.. "' The townj was' quiet ;- and- the
citizens had resolved so'suhmitj without
resistance to any.outrage wheih might 'be
perpetrated. About seven o'clock, Dr.
ilobinson's house,, which stood on the,
side of the bill, was taken pozsession ofj
and -used as the headquarters of the in,'
indent. At . eightjo'clock the main-bodv
of: the army, posted.-themselves on die I
outer edge of the town. Deputy- * Mar- j
shat, Fain, with ten men, entered Law
rence, and' without molestation served
the writs in, his possession, and arrested
Judge Q. W., Smith and. G. W. - .lleitzler.l
Fain' and his companions dined at the)
Free-State Hotel, and afterwards return
ed to the army on Moult ()read. The
Marshal then dismissed his monster posse,
telling them- he had no further use for
them.
It was nearly three o'clock in the after-.
!noon: when suddenly another actor ap
pearal upon the stage. The "dead"
and "dying"—the .itu mortal Sheriff Jones
—rode rapidly into Lawrence, at the
head of twenty.:five mounted men; and
[as he passed along the !lints of the troops,
he was received with. deafening shouts of
lapplause. II is, presence was the signal
for action, and a tille.ooll fur the. outra
ges-that ensued. .! . .
!Atchison then addressed Lis forces, in
languagel not sufficiently well selected
ifor ears - polite; and then Marched the
whole colaa.ti to within a short distance
of the hotel, where they halted. Jones
now informed Col. Eldridge, the propri
etor, that the hotel. must be .destroyed ;
he was acting under orders; he had writs,
issued ; by the'First District Court of the
United States, to destroy the Free State
Hotel, and the offices of the ILruld of
PreedOrii and Fier State. The Grand
Jury at ; Lem:Lipton had indicted thew as
nuisances ' and the Court. had ordered
them be, destroyed. Ile gate Col. Els
Urine tin, hour and a half to .remove his
family,,and furniture, after which time
the demolition commented, and was
prosecuted with , an. earnestness that
would harkdeum . .o - redit to abetter cause.
In the msantime, the newspaper offices
had been assailed, the- presses broken . to
pieces; and these,* with the type and oth
er material thrown into the Kansas ricer.
The following extract from
,the report of
these !transactions, ,given in the columns
of, the Lecompton Caton, the most rabid
pro-shivery paper in Kansas, the Sput—:
tar Sovereign exeepted, is too significant
not to be read with interest:
"Whilst the work of destruction, was
going on at the printing offices, the bow-
hartrinent of the hotel, a strongly coll.!
sanded three story building,
-commenc
ed. Kegs' of pt . npoird sr been placed
inside, and the house Aired in numerous I
LA:tees; and whilst* flames were 'doing!
their destructive work within, heavy can-
mon sreic battering!' against. the Walls
without; :ausl amid the crackling ofthe:
conflagration,. the noise of falling walla;
and timbers, and the roar of the artillery
were mingled the most frantic yells 'of!
sitisfiletion that constantly burst from I
the "law and' tirder"Aevers of Kansas I
Territtiry. Jones• was iti extacies; -He
!sat upon his !lorse, eonteinplating. 'the
havoc* was inakingi, and rithbing his
11M - ids-with wild delight; exclaimed : This
is the happiest day of my life: I deter
mined to make the fanatics boy, before
)nein the dust, ,and kiss the ,Territorial
laws; and I have, dorm G—d I
.have done it r 7
. . . .
And, then followed scenes of reckless
pillage : and wanton destruptipp; in all
parts of that ill-fated town.. Stores were
broken into and:: plundered ,of their . eon
:tents. Bolts were ,and bars ; uo ohswles
!.o tha ,entrance . iofTdittulten ,and.'infuri

which most of the inhabitantS ' fled in
terror. From these everything of value
-Was - stolen, - and much that .wai: useless
to the marauders was destroyed.:.
, - The-dosing net.of this frightful drains
was the burning of .tihe house of Dr-il.ob

_and at

encamped about live! miles below Palmy , !.

Early on the following morning, June
tlth, this army seperated into two divis
.ions, one half of it under General Reid„
With Captain Pate, Bell;. Jenigen, - and
Other prominent leaders, moving towards
Osawattoinie, 'whilst the others, under
Whitfield, started 'for Westport. They
had; in their mareh on the day previous,
itak - ou several Prisoners: and betore -they
''divided, held a court ainong themselves
.and tried one of these, a - free-State man
named central, whom they sentenced to
:death, carried' into a deep ravine near
by, and shot.. His body Nil siihsequent
lylound, isith three bullet holes. in. the
breast. ' The ekeentioner in this case is
said to have been a man named Furman,
of Pate's company, belonging to West
pea, Missouri.
On the with one hundred
and seventy men, .marehed into ..osawat
tomie, and without resistance, entered
each house, - robbing it of everything of
value. There were but few men in the
town, and/the women and children were
treated with the utmost brutality- Stores
and dwellings were alike entered. and pil
laged.Truuka boxes, mid desks were
broken open, and their contents appiopri- ,
ated or - destrOYed.. - • Even rings were
rudely pulled from the ears and fingers '
of the women, and soniC of the apparel
from their persons. Tile liqUi)r found
Ras freely drunk, - and served to incite!
the plunderers to increased violence in ;
the prosecution .of their mischievous
work. Haying completely stripped the'
town, they set tire to several houses; and ;
then brat a rapid retreat, carrying off a
number of horses, and - loudly urging;
each otherto'reater haste, as " the d—d
abolitionestS were coming r'
There are handredS of well authentica
ted accounts of the cruelties practised by
this horde of ruffians, some of them too
shocking and disgusting to relate, or to
be — accredited, if told. The tears and
shrieks of terrified• - women, folded
their feu] embrace,'• failed to touch .
chord 'of metey in their - brutal hearts,
mid the titutilatctd bodiesof murdered men,
hanging upon the trees, or left to rot up
on the prairies or in the-deep ravines, or
furnish food for cultures. and 'wild
beasts, told frightful. stories of br,utal
rosity from which the wildest savages
might have shrunk with horror. 1 -
On the 2lst of .tune, an hidian agent,
named'Gay was trocelling in the vicinity
of Westport, : and was stopped k:a party
