good rain, Monday evening joyfnlly welcomed

In the year of the negro exodus to Kansas, there
was a white family emigrated from Minnesota to
Kansas, whom we shall call Beaumont. In that fam

that they could not manage to drive three yoke Of

to the parents amounting to about sO and start on
atramp from near Leavenworth They started through
Missouri and after getting to Rushville concluded
to start for Kansas. Getting skif, they crossed
over to the island above Donphan but were not long
in finding out that they not in Kansas. They
were taken charge Of for the night under suspicious
circumstances Two benevolent benefactors of that
island who live to guard and protect the innocent,
took the boys down to the river to to Kansas
After getting in the ski as the boys say, they
asked if they had any money. Then one held him,
whilst the other put his hand in bis pocket and drew
therefrom s2l75 They were brought to town, taken
before Justice of the Peace quizzed threatened and
buldozed, to that extent that they were compelled
to tell conflicting stories The money was passed
over to the Justice and the larger boy turned loose
whilst the other one was taken charge Of for further
consideration, and afterwards turned over to his
brother Now there il no doubt that these boys did
wrong, and should perhaps be dealt with but the
manner of the arrest and going through these boys
without proper authority, brought down fourffths
of this community with most outrageous and Grim
inal iniustice. There is law and there is o way.
The public Indignation was at its pitch and perhaps
it was well that the money was paid back to the
boy The matter now just stands did before the
bows were arrested turned loose and are at large.
