THE COX HOAX.
This Cox hoax would never have been heard
of out of Lawrence had not the Rufians, after
plunderng the city and turning iIcendiaries and
bighwsy robbers, reflected that what was fun to
them might be death to their friends, the EbO shin
Democracy, and that it would be necessary to
manufacture imaginary Outrages, in order to ex-
cuse and justify their infamous deeds on the 2lst Of
May.
This man Cox has an established character for
cOwardice and is quite artist in talsehOOd. l
will state the facts on which the important
news" Of the Border Ruffian Times is founded.
They we're stated to me by gentlemen who were
eye-witnesses Of COx's entry into Lawrence and
his expeditions retreat toward Behans's. ..
Cox rode into town in company with his wife,
Half dozen unarmed men, citizens of Lawrence
were standing around the door OF the Cincinnati
House. He nodded to one of them, but the recog-
milton was not returned. Cox looked frightened.
Two bows who were talking with the men bet an
ice.cIeam all round that they would cause him to
leave town Immediately, without using threat,

bet was accepted. They started after Cox and
begged him to leave town-nOt for Gods sake,
but for their sake. They did not say wly-in fact
they had not time to do sO for Cox instantly
whipped his horse and drove rapidly away.
After hearty laugh at his timidity aud their own
adroitness they returned to the little group at the
Cincinnati House and claimed their reward. They
say the ice. cream was very good.
Not a single shot was fired after the coward.
His own statement betrays him. How could he
know, after "he turned round" that StarP's
rife and revolver had been fred at him' II he
has eyes behind no one has ever seen them mere.
That pathetic touch, too, about the balls grazing
his wfe's head instead Of his own skull, is rather
TOO romantic for real life. There were not two
hundred men in Lawrence when Timidty Cox en-
tered it, nor more than fifty breech-loadfne rifles
in Lawrence
