EDWARDSVILLE, OCTOBER 81, 1920.
The legislature Of Kentucky convened
at Frankfort on the 10Th inst. In tie
Senate, the Hon. William T. Barry, LII
Governor, took the chair. Willis Lee
was appointed clerk j; Col. Anthony
Crockett, sergeant at arms John Crutcli-
er, door-kceper; and Cuthbert Ander-
son, committee clerk.
In the House. Of Representatives, Geo.
c. Thompson, of Mercer, was elected
spe.:er; Robert S. Todd, clerk Roger
Divine, door-keepcr; Richard Taylor,
sergeant at arms; and James Stonestreet,
committee clerk.
Col. Leavinworth Of the 9th United
States Infantry, and Maj. Bolwain, H.
dian agent at Prairie Du Chen, arrived
in town on Thursday morning last. Col.
Leayinworth politely furnished the edi-
tors with the following statement rela-
tive to murder supposed to have been
committed by the Winebago Indians,
near Fort Armstrong on Rock Island,
on the first inst
Con the 9th Of Sept last, soldier
John Haines Of the garrison of Fort
Armstrong upon Rock Island, went out
with his gun for the purpose Of hunting.
| On the fifth OF October his body was
found in part of the river opposite the
fort--he had been shot, scalped and
many places. Two Winebago Indians
LETT the island on the morning of the 9th
Sept. and there were no other Indians in
| the neighborhood; there is no doubt but
it was those two Indians who committed
the murder. Maj. Marston the COM
handing officer of the fort, with Capt.
Slubbs, assist. dep. Or. mast. gen. and
Lieut.. Downey Of the sth regiment and
so men Immediately proceeded in search
Of the murderers--they went about so
miles up Rock river, but were unable to
see single Indian; the next morning
after their return to the garrison a party
OF Wmebagocs OF or Indians and
some women and childrenarrlved al the
fort, the Major freely admitted them and
after informing them what had happened,
required three of their chiefs to remain
as hostages, until the .murderers should
be surrendered to him. ...
GAS Maj. Marston has always treated
all the Indians in his neighborhood and
particularly the Wnebagoes with great
kindness, there is no doubt but the
promptness and energy with which the
Major and his party moved in pursuit of
the Indians, and the confinement of their
chiefs, will have a tendency to restrain
and prevent any further depredations."
81. Louis Enquirer.
Two Indians are now confined in the
Jail Of this place, charged with having
committed the aforementioned murder.
TO THE rDITons OF TaE ST. LOUIS EyoUInER,
Gentlemen,
wish to say in your paper that the
report going the rounds in the different
newspapers, as to cutting Of soldiers
ears, sc. as far as it relates to the posts
on the upper Mississippi, is wholly I'M
founded. From my knowledge of Gene
raj Atkinson, feel assured that nothing
of that kind has been permitted under his
command.
Respectfully, yours, &c.
