dated at Paris, X. t. July g. giving an account of the
capture OF Charles boy son of our former townsman
DR.. John Doy), by band of PoSlayery rutians on
the charge f horse escape his subsequent
capture, ard bis death We quote:
"On Thursday last party of nine men, armed and
equipped the law Directs but without legal process
arrested ole Henry Wolfe and son and Charles boy
lson of DR. John DOy), charge of horse-stealng.
They tried, found guilty, and the ssntsoce Of

old man Wolfe. lie was delberat. ly shot, and his
body left on the prairie. On Friday night the same
conn enarg, by additional recruits learning that
boy was concealed In house owned by the old man
Wolfe, gu rounded it about 10 o'clock, waited until
DAY light procured load of bay, fired it, and succeeded
in dislodging bim. He was tried condemned, and m
medately suffered death.
"Charles boy migrated from Rochester to Kansas in
1854 three on,bs after bis father and D. X. Anthony
of this city went out with the pioneer party from Boz
ton. Young Dow lhe was then under ago. passed
through all the terrible conflicts attending the
early settlement of Lawrence and Douglas County
and shared the most thrilling of hat little
band Of heroes who successfully resisted and repealed
the incur.ions of the Rufian Chivalry.'
"The history of these times that tried men g souls ;
ia too familiar and too fresh in the memoirs of all 70
require more than passing allusion. During the
guerilla war the FreeState often stripped Of
their horses and cattle, and household goods ADD so
frequent became THESE outrsges, that leagth they
adopted system of reprisal. The Doys, ia her and
son, who mad lest everything but the claims on
which they Iesced of shared these adventures
and hence the charge of horse ste Iing.
The OIL, nse for which they were kidnapped and
imprisoned at Platte City aid st. Joseph where for
months they subjected TO the grossest ndignties
that their brutal captors could invent, Inc at
tempted transportation OF thirteen free coored persons,
by the direction Of the Town Board of Lawrence,
from that city TO the State Of Iowa. The history If
that cruel imprisonment the trial and acquittal of
Charles the OnvictOn and sentence of hs faber and
his subsequent rescue-so CALAMITY accomplished by
.aoership of Charles is familiar to the readers Of the
boy narrative.
"Dr. boy returned TO the Eastern States, where he
has Sir been engaged in lecturng the history of
Kansas. Charles unfortunately, as we see remaoed
10 pro ect the family, and has at last fallen victim to
the nsatiaie fury OF brutal, bloody handed mob The
letter which We quote states that he suffered death
in hat manner is not described. AS he was dis
lodged by setting fire 10 the houe is probable that
he was cut down or shot in attempting to escape.
Like his father, he was man Of distinguished
bravery, impatient of wrong, ready in his resour-
ces, and fearless in his measures of resistance
and redress, While he dcfied danger like hero, he
endured suffering with the fortude of mar yr. His
private character was rTeproachabe. He was modest
in his deme amor, strong in his attachments generous
sesacrifeng in behalf Of his principles and his friends
Death was he binding seal of the qualities of which
his life was the witness. He lies with his BROTHER on
soil enriched and reeking with the sacricia blood of
American heroes Their blood cries from the ground
and though retaliation be neither polite Christian,
the spirit of justice if not of vengeance will yet over
take their murderers"
