LAWRENCE, Aug. 18th, '57. 8
Once more has the ball opened. Once
more have our people been insulted by the
spectacle of hireling soldiery parading pris-
oners through their streets. The Reign of
Terror was inaugurated this day. But q
short time since party of forty Dragons
acting as posse to Bogus Sheriff Butcher
of Douglas county, rode brazenly and def
antly along Massachusetts street, bearing in
their midst four of the citizens of Franklin
as prisoners. We have not felt so bitter
for many a day. and as we looked around on
the fierce, cleaning eyes, and stern knit
brows of men who stood watching the de-
grading sight, We knew that our feelings
were shared. Conservative men, men
known for their prudence, were watching
the minions of the Slave power with in
tensely passionate feelings. s.The old times
have come again, was the universal re-
mark. Said one of the pioneer settlers oi
Lawrence to us, az feel as every one 81
those horses tcere trdaspi;ng on me P'
The circumstances of the arrest are as
follows: Franklin possesses, as Is vel
known, some delectabls specimens of Bof-
der Rufianisn, of whom Mr.. Crane and
son are chiefs. Since the commencement
of ..Ye Great Isothermal War" upon Law
renee. these fellows have become very brave,
and are constantly picking quarreis Hitl
Free State men. On Friday last, Bob Crane
drew a revolver on Mf. Purdam, a store
keeper The weapon was taken from him
and on Sunday night some of the citizens
gave him notice to leave: He did so, Eenl
to Lecompton, put himself under the pro
lection of the Autocrat, and to-day the re-
suit szas SEEN IN the arrest of Mr.. Purdan,
Mr.. SkszWhm, with two others whose names
We did not learn, for threatening the life q
Mr.. Crane.
Such plausible opportunity. as the
one narrated above, for the bloodhound
Walker to seize upon, could not be permits
