One of the men then seized hold of him.
Mr. Furnam being a quick, powerful man,
turned round and knocked his assailant
down, and fed. They gave chase, but could
not overtake him. One of the desperadoes
shot at him with rifle. The ball pierced
his hat, but did not hurt him, and, striking
house, went through the clapboards, and
killed child which was playing on the
floor. The mother ran out shreking " mur-

sistance. The news spread. The free state
men armed themselves. In the meantime
another citizen had been insulted in the
street, knocked down and stabbed. This
was young Thomas Newman. He died this
morning. The marauders began now to be
alarmed at their own acts. About hundred
free state men, well armed, formed in body
and marched toward the hotel; but the Mis-
sourians had decamped. The free state men

These are turbulent times. We are in the
commencement of a great battle. The skir-
mishes we have had are but the scattering
drops before the storm that is approaching.
The thunders will be upon us unless the PEo-
PIE of the north rise in their might and say
to the slavery propagandists and their sub
Servient slaves-THEsE oUTRAGEs MUST CEASE.
We hope to hear the thunders of the voice
of the people of Ohio on the 9th day of Oc-
tober in the ears of these tyrants. Arouse
freemen Sumber not while this black
nightmare of slavery rests upon the bosom
of liberty! Awake and scare away the
grim demon that haunts cur rest! Our hope
is in YOU. Our election is appointed for
October 9th, the same day as your own. The
enemy is preparing to attack us in large for
ces that day, A band of sevcnty-fye are
now approaching our southern border. The
officers of the United States troops station
ed in this place, erMinstructions from
headquarters, wink at the villainies of the
Missouriaus, and refuse to interfere to pro
tect life, property and liberty. Unless you
rebuke and frighten with the thunders Of
your just Indignation this corrupt pro-slave-
ry administration, we fear that our fate is
sealed, and this fair land doomed forever to
the black curse of slavery.
