THREATENED Mon Law IN Missouri
Mr. VIM. H. Thomson, tormerI y clerk for
Messrs. Love, Martin Il Co., Of this city. bat
now connected with the Buatmen's Savings
Institution at St. Louis, proceeded few days
ago to Liberty, Mo, as the agent OF his EN-
p!oyers, with $50 800 of the bills OF the
branch of the Farmers Bank of Lexington
and demanded their redemption. The cash
Ter proceeded to comply with the demand
but while doing 81, one Or two persons, sup
posed tn be directors, entered, and lnqulring
the object of Mr.. Thomson $ visit, his resi-,
dence, &c, left the room, as the sequel prov
ed, to inform the populace. Very soon quite
a company of the "roughs"of Liberty were
in front of the bank, calling Mr.. L. to come
forth. On going out he was Informed that
his presence was not wanted in that town
and that he would not be permitted to bring
away his coin. His reply was that if the
bank paid him the coin, IL it seem inclined
TO do, he would assuredly assert the rights o.
the institution Of which he was agent, and al
tempt at all hazards to carry with him its
property. Returning to the room he finished
counting and boxing the coin, redeposlted
it and took a check tor the same. The cash
Ter anxious to save the credit OF the bank
agreed to hand it out the back ylndUW in the
evening, and thus eule the mob, who sup
posed it would not be called for until mora
ing, when the stage was to start. And IL
this way the mob was mlsled. Mr.. Thom
son, securing fast team, drove forty mile:
over a prairie after night, and succeeded il
safely deposltiug the coin in the "Bnatmen'
Savings Institution" Several of the bank:
in Missouri, it appears, have Il habit OF get
ting up mobs against parties who demand
large amounts of their ''promises to pay
Baltimore SIN.
