QUANTRELL.

There are but few living on this cont
nent who are not familiar with the name
and deeds Of Quantrell, !ae guerrilla chief
who figured so prominently on the side Of
the south during inc war. Quantrell was
. native Of Missouri, and previous to the
o!itbr.ak Of the war was connected with
Jim Lanes band, and with it took active
part in the Kansas troubles. When the war
broke out he espoused the cause of the
South, as a. partizan ranger or guerrilla
chief. His name was . terror to the Kan
sas Jahawkers who had taken sides with
the North, and against whom he carried on
q war of determination. combining his dep
relations chiefly TO Kansas and Missouri.
His doings at last attracted the attention of
the Federal Government, and he was de-
clared IN outlaw. Reports of his death
have been frequently circulated, and as
often contradicted. There are several per-
sons now residing In this city who have
often seen Quantrell, and were personally
acquainted with him, and one of them. .
gentleman whose reputation for truthful>
ness is unimpeachable, declares emphatical-
" that Quantrell was in this city ten days
ago. he further adds that their recogni.
ton was mutual, and that they held pro-
longed conversation with one another.
This happened in the evening, and on the
following morning Quantrell left the city
for parts unknown, and has not since been
seen or heard from.-Los Asgsles Nsses. "a
