We had the above statement ia type
on Saturday noon. In putting our forms
on the press one of them was pied, by
which We were thrown back to Monday
morning. and are enabled to give further
particulars of the cd war, and record q
murder unparalleled in atrocity even
among sassges. HoSis@ si
We have our statement from several
prominent actors in the disturbances,
residents of Easton and vicinity, and from
our expresses who have visited the scene
of the late outrsges, and have returned,
as also from Col. Blood's company of
cavalry who returned on Sunday after
noon. s.a.5 - -
The statement that Mr.. MINARD was
taken prisoner proves incorrect. He is
now in town, having made his escape at
the time he was supposed to have been
taken. The Stumbling of one of the
horses of his pursuers, and the falling
of the rider was mistaken by those look
ing on as the arrest of Nr. II. He was
pursued about two miles, and fired upon
several times. but escaped uninjured.-
Mr.. SPARKS is also in town, and confirms
the truthfulness of the above report, so
far as j. came under his observation.
We are also glad to learn that an cleo
ton ssas held at Leavenworth on the 9Th
inst, and upwards of two hundred legal
votes were given for the regular State
ticket. At ,Easton, in consequence of
threatened disturbances. the election was
adjourned to Thursday, as detailed above.

to Lea. enworth for assistance, and
eight persons. headed by Mr. R P.
Brown, went 10 their assistance.
Mr.. BRowE was taken by the mob as
narrated above while on his way home
with several others. He objected to be-
ing taken.' and thought it better to sell
his life as dearly as possible on the spot !;
but his associates urged him to sur
render. claiming that they would all be
slain. This he finally, but very reluc
family consented to do, in consideration
of saving the lives of hls companions
who seemed SO unwilling to defend them
selves. He and seven Others were taken
back to Easton, and guarded through
Friday. At night they took Mr.. B. out
after releasing the others-for the pur-
pose of hanging him. having their ropes
and implements ready for the work.
Some proposed compromise-that they
lynch him, and let him CO. This was
agreed to, when several persons sprung
upon him with hatchets and bowie knives,
and commenced stabbing, chopping.
beating and kicking him until he was
felled to the earth, after receiving three
mortal wounds in his head with hatchets,
and numerous other injuries, any of
which would probably have caused his
death. After laying upon the cold earth
for while, consciousness seemed to re-
turn, when he rose and attempted to es-
cape, but he was again taken. beaten,
kicked and dragged to wagon, which
he was thrown into like a dead brute,
and in this condition was carried ten
miles to Dunn's groggery, in Salt Greek
valley, where the demons went through
the farce of attempting to dress his
wounds. Finding that he must die, and
human nature beginning to get the as
