THREE NEGROES KIDNAPPED NEAR
COUNCIL BLUFFS AND RUN INTO MIS-.
SOURI-GREAT EXCITEMENT
Council Bluff, Sep. rs, ]

10. SVuuCA AAAAAeS 1SR SUl AoVvs
DEAR EDIroR,-Three free negroes were kid
mapped within six miles Of this city last Thurs.
day in open daylight and carried South. One Of
them, John Williamson, lives in Council Bluffs,
and his wife being i'll he went down TO Civil
Bend after her sister and brother. The three on
their way back, when just below "Willow
Slough" bridge, were waylaid, forced to turn out
into the bushes, gagged and carried of No
word Of it reached here till Monday evening,
when one Of the horses the negroes had was
brought to town by man living few miles be-
low, who said the horse had come to his farm.
Great excitement prevailed here yesterday. and
last night letter arrived from Williamson, da-
ted st Oregon. Mo-, stating that he had escaped
from his captors and been arrested as = yagrans
and confined in the jail Of that place. $50 was
at once raised, and two Of our citizens are going
down to get him. The letter states that he
(Williamson) knows nothing Of the fate of the
others Suspicion points to several men in this
vicinity as engaged in the accursed job; and
We arc anxiously awaiting the return Of William
SON to hear his story. II will be sorry business
for the scoundrels if we can get hold Of them.
