Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1860-10-27


fugitive slaves, who owed service in Mason county,
Kentucky, were living on the Lake Erie shore,
about two miles from Sandusky. He took with
him posse Of FIVE or six men, and on Friday
evening, about eight o'clock, he came upon their
quarters, and after desperate resistance captured
them. The Marshal and his company we're hotly
pursued, but by the most adroit lodging through
cornfelds and woods, they escaped unharmed, and
after hours Of travelling reached the railroad
track, and soon had the satisfaction Of seeing the
light of a train, which they stopped by swinging
red light, and go; aboard. This method of get
ting aboard the cars is an unusual one, and would
hardly be submitted to by railroad companies un-
der ordinary circumstances; but perhaps this is
one of the requirements had in contemplation by
the trainers of the Fugitive Slave Law.
Mr.. Manson brought his c0lored captives to
this city on Saturday, went through the usual
forms before U. S. Commissioner, and shipped
them in an Express manner to Kentucky, in COM
pany with their claimants

THE NEGRO HUNT.-We gave on Monday an ac-
count of the capture aud return to servilude of
some Kentucky chattel. We now give tho &C.
count as related in the Saudusky Register. OF all
difficult things to report, fugitive slave case is
the very worst; and effort to learn the facts is
q remarkable instance of the pursuit OF knowl-
edge under difficulty The account, when obtain
ed, is generally repleto with hair breadth escapes
and perils without number, completely eclipsing in
brilliancy Of strategy and courageous daring, the
contents Of a two shilling novel.
i Had we published the account Of this occur
renee detailed to US by one whose position gave
him means of information, would have startled
he community with a tale Of blood and cunning
that would have robbed Marion of his reputation
and reduced the battle of Bunker Hill to the rank
of a school boy frolc.
we are informed by gentleman living in the
neighborhood, and who was aroused by the occur
renee, that en- Friday evening at about O'clock
two cabins situated the Mills lot,' little south
of the Castalia road, about three miles from this
city, were surprised by party Of some 10 or Is
kidnappers, and Mr.. Marshal and wife and Mr..
Hutchins' wife-a free woman, as We are told
and tive children were taken from their homes,
dragged to the railroad and put on board the night
train for CINCINNATI which leaves here at IL
P. NJ.
: The neighborhood was aroused by the occur
renee; and supposing that the party would be
obliged u 20 to Csstala to get on to the train
hastened there. Something of party had oollec-
ted when the train arrived but nothing was seen
of the kidnappers or their party. They concluded
that they had not taken the train, bu. attem p
ting to spirit the negroes and their families array
in some other manner. The train made but
short halt, and just as it started it discovered
that there was dark csr dtta6hea
Upon returning the ncghbors learned that the
train had stopped at the Venice side track, point
on the road near where the assault took place. but
not a regular place of stopping, and taken the
dark car which was attached to the train.
We have just learned from the officers of the
road, that this car without light was one which
had been ordered from this end of the road, to be
used on the road from Springfield, and did not
make part of the occupied train, and thus was
not lighted.
This is a plain history of the transaction, SO far
as we could gather the facts. Much OF the matter
is yet in the dark, and many rumorS are afoat,
which it is not we'll to publish until they are con
frmed
Some of the Incidents Of the assault are worth
relating A neighOor living on the way between
the cabins and the points on the road where they
took the cars, heard Mrs. Hutchins crying, and
asked what was the matter when she replied, that
several pafoona were taking her away and call
ed for help. lie stepped into his house, and took
a loaded gun and fred charge of shot at man
as he was attempting to get Mrs. H. over the
fence. The man fell and called for help, wheD
some others came to his relief and took the wo-
man away.
There were found evidences of pretty severe
scuffling about the cabins. Some report that blood
was found, and that the course Of the party could
be traced by the blood along the way. One child
of seven years was found in one of the cabins,
and the pautalOons worn by one of the negroes.
Several hard-lOokiug, suspicious fellows were
observed about this city on Friday afternoon and
evening and from various circumstances there can
be no doubt that they were concerned in the af-
fair.
Something, perhaps, ought 20 be said ID regard
TO tss position in which the transaction puts the
Conductor having charge of the train on Friday
night
The Venice side track is place whore the train
under some circumstances has stopped though
not often. Some of the characters above mention
ed went to Mr.. Clspp, the ticket agent and repre-
sented that party of eight hunters were going
to be there, and wanted to take the train there as
they would be too tired to walk to the station
They also represented to the Conductor, as is re-
ported, shat party of detectives from Cincinnati,
with their birds desired to take the train there
and as we are informed, this evening" deceived
the officers of the tram Gin. Commercial.
