Conspieuously displayed on the FIRST
page was an account of the escape OF

The lunatic WAS supposed TO be tn

Kansas City. That unfortunate gentle

They immediately resolved to offer
a reward Of Eve hundred dollar;
for his capture, and tho proprietor
OF the Retreat supplemented hat
inducement by an offer Of fifty dollars
from his own purse. Then followed a
minute description OF the missinr man.
Lawrence felt flattered. but still not

TO have cholScd with the excitement

rather be captured than undergo such
another trial. He must ret away.
