Kilough was q red hot Abolitionist and Free State
man. He was full of pluck a. were his sona and be
hesitated to express his sentiments on every
occasion, even in the most dangerous times He
was often threatened and on several occasions at
tempts were made upon his castle but he came
through eafely. He made many secret journeys 60
ing considerable distances and favorite time with
him for travel was during the night He held conn
munication and intercourse with old John Brown,
in his expeditions, and was posted a. to tho move

Nebraska, into Northern Kansas We remember an
incident in this connection In the year 1856, muir.

them of and capture them soon after they should en-
ter Kansas, out on the trail near Plymouth. Kill
Tough also knew they were coming and knew the place
fixed for their capture and that th. Border Rufan.
