Maj. Plumb was at Blue Mound,
five miles east of Lawrence, when
Quantrel left town. He failed to aid
Lane. Report says Plumb's men de-
nounced him for declining to attack
Quantrel, who offered him battle.
At one point near Ottawa, Lane
headed off Quantrel. The rebels
turned and charged on Plumb, and
drove him for about mile.
Ewing had a telegraph from his
Adjutant at Kansas City the night be-
fore the attack on Lawrence, but did
not leave here until 2 o'clock p. m. the
next day. He then went to DeSoto
Ferry, about twenty miles south of this
place and twenty miles east of Law
renee. AT noon of Saturday he was
only ten miles south of DeSoto. He
ought to have taken the steamer Eme-
lie which was at our levee, and then
leaving at the late hour he did, he could
have overtaken Quantrel, and with 800
fresh men and horses he could have
captured him.
This awful less of life and property
is universally attributed to the incom-
potency and inability of Schofeld and
Ewing.
We were promised security to our
lives and property. Our people have
been murdered and our property des-
troyed. srs
Will the Government protect us, OF
permit us to protect ourselves
The telegraph dispatches to the as
ISOLATED press have been mutilated,
and the military authorities dare moi
let the truth be told.
Our citizens have sent to Lawrence
a long train, taking provision and
clothing. $4,000 has been subscribed
by our people for the immediate relieI
of the sufferers who were left withoui
clothing or food.
Persons just from Lawrence repor
that the number of dead will reach one
hundred and seventy, perhaps two
hundred, as bodies are constantly be
ing found.
The excitement throughout the
State is intense, and our citizens unanl
imously regard the Lawrence massacre
as the legitimate result Of the Schofeld
Eioi'ag policy IN Missatri and Kansas
When last heard from, Gen. Lane
was at Heckman's Mills, in Missouri,
with his half-clothed, half armed men
in pursuit. He attacked Quantrel
about ten miles south of Lawrence and
kept up running fight with him to
Missouri, killing, up to this time, nine
teen of the rebels. e2aA aeo
Up to this morning, 1913 bodies have
been buried, but it is still utterly i'm
possible to obtain complete list Of
their names, as many are SO much dis
figured as to prevent recognizing them
while others are still missing, and are
supposed to be concealed in the woods
near by, or they may be in the ruins Of
the buildings; besides many left with
Lane in pursuit of the murerers, and
have not yet returned. eaf u1gs
Citizens are continually passing back
and forth between this place and Law
renee, and the details they bring Of
scenes that occurred in the streets and
houses of the doomed city are heart
rending and ul-sickening.
The last accounts we haze of Quan.
trel and his men is up to Saturday
night, at which time he was being
closely pursued by Lane, who had
been skirmishing with him constantly
since be left Lawrence. m 81
Lanes force is being increased rap
idly by farmers, who were hocking to
him with their arms, and it was the de-
termination to follow him into Missouri
and if he disbanded his gang, they
would hunt them down like wn!yes AMI
shsot them. !; .s.
One of their number was captured
