Deputy Sheriff Of Douglas County Is reward for
his works. Yesterday morning this dissifed official
came into Lawrence, isqsHiag for Dave Evsns buck
skin) rather celebrated Misscsr convert from
Border Ruffanism to the Prostate movement.
Haine and fourteen Dragons called at house over
the ravine, nqbriDg for "Dave" That worthy
was himself accOsted by this party and in reply to
their Inquiries about him, said that Evans was
round there in the house. Waiting till the dra-
gooDs got round the corner, Dave up steam for the
ravine, and had proceeded twJ thirds way in that
direction when he was espied, and then WAS
set up view halloo and gallop, the
dIseoons yelling in their chase of Free
State man, and D. 8. Haine shouting
"Shoot him shoot him shoot the id rascal;
the officer in command cried, don't shoOt;" bat
Dave, when he heard the cry "shoot him" stop
ped. Hsine rode up and demanded his arms. Evans
stepped up to the captain Of the dragons and said,
pOiLtiDg to Hane, ~ can't give my pistol to that
id rascal, but you want it, captain, here it is"
Buckskn was led Of toward Lecompson, where he
will enjoy the hospitality now vOuchsafed to patriots
in Kansas. He refused to 20 in company With
Haine, but rode alongside of the captain, swearirg
he would not Keep company with the id sneak
ing scoundrel. As Haine produced NJ writ, and
gave no ihrimation 10 any one what Evans w's
taken for, VIZ can only guess. Evans hnfelf never
ssked for writ, and suspect that he supposed
he was merely taken a. prisoner of war. Some
say ttat Buckskin had quarr-ied with Haine just
before he got his appointment, and threatened TO
whip him. and that ibis is the cause; various other
cOIjectures are offered. As I have mentioned,
Buckshin is from Missouri, and all those who have
come from that quarter and turned Free State men
"a considerable Lumber, by the bye), are hated in

was recently 30 brutally murdered on Cedar Creek
by Gen. WhitHeld's men, had no other fault or

moved from Missouri and turned Free State man.
Alb, this is more cruel than the war Of the Guelphs
and the Ghlbeliines.

to get a writ against them. Horses are getting to

In order to show that Donaldson has still author

given TO the man Hill, cruelty gagged and robbed,
an account of which sent Hill also got letter
to Col Boo1e Of Westport, requesting that worthy
