He declined, saying that he had power to move in
this matter without orders In answer to an inquiry
| MARSHAL OOUdluSOH SAID tne demand OF the gov
eminent must be complied with. Every man against
whom a process had been issued should be surren-
dered all the munitions Of in possession of the
free State at Lawrence were to be delivered up,
and the citizens OF Lawrence should pledge them
selves to obey implicitly the enactments Of Kansas
under oath" On the receipt Of this reply the citi
