l. b. Donason, United States Marshal for the First
District Court a ceterd collected his monster posse
under the pretex that he could not execute the wrs

HORSES STOLEN.
Two hundred horses, at least, have been stolen
from the FreeState men, within 20 miles OF Lawrence
since Mr. Marshal Donaldson issued bis illegal procla-
nation A party of the Free-State men have organ
ganized and left Lawrence, and swear that they will

number, are again in possession OF their owners
They say that they will seize the horse OF every man
within 90 miles of Lawrence who is known to have
given aid and comfort to the thieves.
q As sson as the number is made up they will mme-
diatey disband.
They are so exasperated by the outrsges and humi
ations to which they have been forced to submit that
it is impossible to restrain them from retaliation

fortunate step.
