GREAT EXCITEMENT AT DoNIPHAN, X. Tan ABB
oLIrlONIsr KnLED.-We learn from Mr.. Newman, of
Doniphan, that Samuel Collins, of that place, was
killed this morning about sunrise. by Pat. Laughin.
AS far as we have been able to learn, the circum-
stances are as follows:
Mr.. Laughn recently made an exposition of the
midnight organization existing among the Abolition
lists in the Territory, called the "Grand Encamp-
ment and Regiments of the Kansas Legion" Collins
it seems, is Colonel of of the regiments in this
Order, and determined to force Mr. Laughlin
traction, or kill him. In accordance with this de-
termination, he and twelve brother Abolition.
lists proceed this morning, to seek out Mr.. Laugh
lin, and demanded unqualified retraction of his
recent confession; and upon Mr.. LIS refusing to
make any concession whatever, Collins Immediately
snapped his gun at him, Oaughlin) and then fired
at him. but fortunately the weapon was turned aside
by spectator. Mr.. Laughlin then drew revolver
and fired upon his opponent, killed him instantly.
We regret to learn that Mr.. L. dangerously
hurt in the conflict by knife wound in the side
We are also informed that his friend, Mr.. Lynch q
member of the proslavery party, was wounded in
the head by the discharge of gun.
Thus it is, that the fight so long talked about has
begun and it is to be hoped that it will not be ais
continued until Kansas Territory is rid of this high
law" and blood-thirsty set of negro thieves and
outlaws.
