town had accumulated bonded
debt of nearly 100000, or a little

bonds at from IS to 30 cents on the
dollar was finally effected, since
which time the town has been reas-
onably prosperous. In
February, 1859. a mob of leaguers
entered Baxter Springs and de-
manded of Captain Cox and W. b.
Shockley, who were in charge of the
Joy land office, that they give up
the papers of the Office and emf

men put the mob off with the some

not know the combination to the
safe, aad, strange to say, the mob
believed the story. AT any rate Cox
and Shoc&ley were not hanged.
