did not get the rest, We forwarded them to

that came into our once. Our Trends got
horses tor us, on the other side Of the Kansas
river, and We kept them out OF our beats with
our pistols. Four OF US could whip dozen oil

a mile above 70 the ford. When we LEFT, they
lost our trail in the dark We halloed an hour
at the Missouri river before We could raise
boat, expecting every moment the abolitionists
would be upon US and hang US. l tell yeu to
be on the look out, for while the Committee sits

and the abolitionsts will hang them, right In
