Extract Of letter from a gentleman
at Richmond, missouri to his friend in
Philadelphia, dated July 8, 1886:
sour town is all commotion to day.
Indian hostilities have commenced on |
the frontier Of our State, abou, sixty
miles from this place. The Indians
have killed two men, one of whom
they literally Gu. to pieces. The Iowa
is the only tribe that is yet known TO
be hostile, but there is no doubt 10 the
minds of the people Of this country bu.
there will be general rise among the
Pottau attomies, Shawnees, and many
other tribes. Our Governor has or
deIed out one thousand horsemen from
the counties Of Ray, Clay, Jackson,
Fsyet,e, and Carroll. The two hun !
dIed OF our county are ready, and will
lske up the line Of march in about two
hours they are all volunteers, and
veil understand the use of the deadly
rifle. The citizens of this town are
now giving them public dinner, and
az soon as that is over they take up
the line. They will march directly to
the Iowa .owns.",
From the Georgia Union, July 20.
