strating to the many farmers coming
to Kansas that the praries were good
for growing trees.
Walker May BE Innocent.
Great excitement was created at Ar
gentine when George Walker, a negro.
who is alleged to have assaulted Miss
Perkins, was captured and ought to
that city. A mob gathered and would

for him in Leavenwprth the day the
alleged assault took place

treasury after this and the examiners
will be paid out of the contingent fund.

military reservation has been staked

fuses to file the claims.
