B. s. MERRIAM, City Recorder
MORE TROUBLE AT PARKvILLE.-We would
not be at all surprised if we had TO record,
IN few days, more lawless proceedings at
Parkyille, in this State Geo. s. Park. the
eultor VI Inc Lumlnary, the paper so sum
marily extinguished in the waters of the
Missouri, has returned to Parkville, in def
ance of the threats of his enemies TO hang
him if ever he planted his feet in that region
again. Parks friends, among whom are the
principal citizens of the town, invited him TO
return, and vowed to protect him. This has
not awed the bullies, who threatened 10 hang
him, as the following dispatch to the Jeffer-
son Inquirer will show:
''WEsroN, Nov. l2.-The Atchison men nj
Platte City, with his knowledge, are to-day
organizing a mob to march against the citi-
Gems Of Parkville, who are united in the de-
fence of Park and the laws
1t will be remembered tina, the bulhes who
drove Park out of the State and pitched his
press into the river, were not citizens Of
Parkville, but men from distance who took
on themselves the superintendent Of things
in Parkville, and the lynching of those who.
they thought, deserved that punishment
We hope the people Of Parkvile will as
sert their own right to take care Of them
selves, and protect their own citizens.-[St.
