Who Was the LEADER Quantrel
or Franklin, or Both.
j. M. nURRAY'S REMEMBRANCE OF IT
The Agency Contingent of the Patriots
Assembled to Protect Ottumwa From
the Threatened Hnvasion. Vote )
TO Go Home.
From Wednesdays Daily.

In the Peoples Pulpit in this paper
yesterday appeared communication
from j. B. Smith, of this city, i'll
which he said that the scare in this
city in regard to the guerilla, Quantrell,
raiding this section of country was in
1864. Some dispute this and others
agree that the date is right. Be that
as it may there was some apprehension
felt in Ottumwa over the reported raid
at that time, and from what can be
gathered, Cy. Franklin, who lived in
Agency prior to that time, was con-
cerned in one of them and Quantrell in
the other. 1t seems that franklin en-
tertained sentiments not altogether
peaceable against some of the citizens
of this place and had made threats
against them, which, after he had join
ed the Confederate army, they were
afraid he would carry out. AS Mr..
Smith says, Franklin's knowledge OF
the county would have made him a
dangerous foe had he rotten into Iowa,
but from the information at hand the
largest gathering of men to defend the
country against the threatened invas-
ion was the one in which it was re-
ported that Quantrell was the leader.
The reporter saw Z. NJ. B. Scott, who
was the captain of one of the compan-
les at that time, but he was too busy
to say much except that his company
crossed the river on the old ferry boat
that landed at the foot of Green
street, and that another company UNI
der the leadership Of physician whose
name he could not recall, guarded the
other ferry boat landing just below
the site of the present dam. The guer
lila was expected to come into Ottum
wa by way of the Bloomfield road and
the company was bivouacked over ir
that direction. Mr.. Scott had no time
to say anything more of the matter
and the reporter left. While walking
down the street he happened to NEE
J. M. Murray, and was telling him O
his troubles, when that gentleman
said:

About That Raid.
From Thursday's Daily.

Il
Editor Courier-The article in the
Courier Of last evening, in reference to
a threatened raid on the town, con-
tanned several errors. 1t was in 1864,
and at that time Ottumwa had an es-
timated population of about 1900, and
had a larger population than Agency
many years previously. The reported
leader of the raid was Cy Franklin,
formerly of Agency. He had joined the
rebels in Missouri and was somewhat
conspicuous as leader Of small raid
ing parties. His thorough knowledge
of the country had made him a dan.
gerous foe. It was also said that he
entertained sentiments of intense ha-
tired /, toward certain citizens, with
whom he had formerly been in political
affiliation.
Allen Bonnifield and one or two 9th.
ers rode as far as Drakesville to ascer-
tain the true situation. They returned
with the report that it was a false
alarm, and the crowd dispersed. / re.
member the Kirkville contingent. They
rode down to the rivers brink in as
orderly fashion as a gang OF mounted
fox hunters would return from the
chase. j. B. Smith.

the morning q man came riding up to
our place and hallooed several times.
Father asked him what he wanted,
and the man said that Quantrell had
burned Bloomfield and had murdered
the inhabitants and for everybody to
go to Agency as fast as possible. Faith
er did not take much stock in the
story, but l said / was going. Father
told me to take lone of the horses, but
I refused. thinking that if Quantrell
really did come could hide and get
away better on foot than if were en-
numbered with a slow farm horse. /
set out and walked to Agency, getting
in that place about breakfast time.
The town was full of mounted men
and boys, who were very much excited
over the affair and were all armed
with any sort OF a firearm that could
be procured. Pickets had been
thrown out that night as far rs the
river and every precaution taken to
guard against a surprise. The pickets
pany set out for 0ttumwa. / had no
One of the bystanders, William Giltner,

told him had no horse, when he
said that he hadtas fine a horse, saddle
and bride as ever saw and that I
could have it. was willing, but I
told him I had no gun. John Enyart,
who was standing near, spoke up and
said that he would furnish the firearm.
Giltner got the horse, Enyart the gun,
and in company with another boy
started for Ottumwa. About two miles
from Agency on the road to Ottumwa
we overlook the defenders of their
country, and rode with them into the
city. Upon our arrival we found COM
panies from Eddyville, Kirkville and
the surrounding territory as well as
Ottumwa companies. We watered our
horses and fed them and did nothing
until noon when we sliirmished around
and procured something to eat. After
dinner the scouts that had been sent
out failed to put in an appearance and
we supposed that they had been caught
and murdered, and there being no or
ganized effort to do anything except
to guard the town, we went down to
what is now the site OF the Burlington
roundhouse, and under a big cotton
wood tree that stood near we held
caucus. The question was put, and
in substance was this: Whether or moi
we should go over to Bloomfield after
| Quantrell or go home 10 Agency.
Agency seemed to be the favored place
and we set out for home.
"All there was to the matter was
that Quantrell with a few men had
come up into Iowa little way beyond
Bloomfield after man whom he want
ed. He got him, shot and killed him
and his horse being jaded he ex'
changed animals with farmer, taking
his from the plow to which they were
hitched, and rode away.

the sense of the meeting that it needed
attention. DR.. Hyatt called attention
to the fact that there were some wells
in the city that were not properly con-

to run into them. To this cause was
attributed number of the cases of ty-
