On Wednesday, the I'd inst, at ball given
by the citizens of Lecompton, Calvin Bailey, a

| Brockett is known MS one of the most ultra
pro.slavery men IN the territory, and was active

On the night in question he was much intox.

who with his brother, is in business OtLecomp-
ton, we're present at the ball, and during the
evening left the hall for the purpose of assisting
an acquaintance home. The person he was aid
ing being intoxicated, denurred to Hailey's ac-
ton, and Brockett intcrfered, and without the
slightest provOcation stabbed him in several
places The bowie knife entered the right lung,
and ut the last accounts Mr.. Bailey was not en-
pected to live but'a few hours.
Brockett was arrested, but his associates are
determined to prevent his committal or trial
An endeavor was made to get Judge Wood to
take straw bail, but the great majority of tho
citizens of Lecompton condemning the outrage,
the pressure was too strong, and the bail was
fixed at $4,000.
