understood by the knowing ones that the project
of demolition had been abandoned. But on Sun
day afternoon the notorious +. NJ. Niece Of this
place, known as Milt MCGEE, with two of his
creatures came to the American Hotel highly
charged with whisky, and after vainly attempting
TO quarrel with the clerk resolved to do so with
the landlord, who in his room up stairs asleep
Accordingly one Of the bullies went out before the
house and squared of" in readiness for fight
while MCGEE himself went up stairs for the land
lord But, unfortunately for the sport that gentle
man. being innoccntly unconscious of the honor de
signed him, preferred 10 continue his siestd. Ills
lady at this time appeared in the Office for him. but
this did not jump with the warlike designs OF the
bullies. who contented themselves for the disap-
pointment BY a most energetic Cd ding oil
the Yankees in general, and the Emigrant Aid Com
pany in particular With these, and sundry threats
against the house, they departed for the Lincoln
House, where Niece supposed himself to have
personal quarrel TO revenge.
A GOOD deal of vehement swearing and threat
enine ensued, and Niece, lately Justice OF the
Peace finally seemed preparing ior Gu attack on the
proprietor when the latter cooly drew hugobowie-
knife and swore that unless Mctiee instantly left
he would cut bis heart out On this moriHg de-
uonstration MCGEE found his courage down to
zero and started off On run. One of bis aids, on
gray horse, rode toward the house with a loaded
pistol in his hand, but the proprietor stood calm
ne a post. whereupon he too retreated The pro-
pIietor then went inside aud got pistol which he
aimed at the bully and was Orly presented from
firing By the entTeaiies OF LIS wife.
Finding this game unexpectedly unmanageaoie
tie de1perados next went to the POstOlce IN front
Of which several peaceful citizens and strangers
were sitting and standing awaiting the op. nlng OF
the mail Here they again INDUCED In the most
outrageous language against Judge Bouton, pro
sla1ery citizen with whom Niece had personal
quarrel, and all abolitiOnsts. At last IL was de-
ternintd that there must be some of that class In
the crowd. and Niece declared that that man,
pointpp cut welldressed quiet young man sit
ing near tie door, had looked at one OF bis asso-
cisies in manner that was not right" and he
believed him "a id Aboli,ionist." Bully NO.
approached him with club and demanded II he
WAS an abolitionist; to which negative reply
was given "Come, now" said the bully, - own

to say SOL Isn't that iactl" :" Yes was the
laughing reply, I'm afraid TO own it, you are too

manded his native place, to which the young man
replied in the same vein that he was born IN

laraueued for some time, soemDly proclalming
that every nan in Kansas who came from - North
"of Mason ard lixon's line or who belonged

the Missouri River. Ibis producing no reply they
entered the house, and formally challenged every
"bluebelly" TO come forward, stating that the
house was that night to be leyeled to the ground.
After this demonstration they departed.
