ton is TO be held here on the 7th Of

with a dull thud and minated in rath-

The delegation promptly retired ana
stepped across the hall to my office and
wanted to know what could be done
and If 1 could suggest any way out OF
the dilemma. It was suggested thal q
wagon train was being fitted up to go
to Fort Scott to be loaded with sup
plies for the army and that as adJuIant
general I might be able to get the men

part Of the escort for the train.
It had been customary to detail
regiment of infantry, several com
panies of cavalry and a section OF a
battery to escort these supply trains
as the country swarmed with BUSH
whackers and the rebel command
south of the Arkansas river had made
a dash and captured an entire train at
Cabin Creek in the Cherokee nation
the year before. When the time came
to detail the escort I said to General
Thayer: MANY of the Kansas troops
have not had furlough during their
term of service and instead of detail
ing a regiment why not make detail
from the entire command and place
responsible field officer in charge. 1t
will take ten days after the train ar
rives at Fort Scott to make the neces-
sary repairs to the wagons, shoe the
mules and horses and load the train.
During these ten days the boys can be
given a furlough by the commanding
officer and they can have at least
few days at home" General Thayer
readily consented and the escort in
cIuded the delegates to the state con-
vention which they attended and
nominated Colonel Sam Crawford for
governor He was elected and soon
after his Inauguration, telegraphed me
asking me to accept the position of
adjutant general on his staff, which 7
did. resigning from the army March
2sth. 1855. That is how I came to
Topeka instead of going back to the
farm in Jackson county. General
Thayer knew nothing of the coup"
for many years after the war when
met him at one of the army reunions
and told him the story. He laughed
heartily and remarked that the ways
of the Kansas fellows were past find

The death of General John n.
Thayer. a civil war veteran and for
merly United States senator from Ne
braska, recalls to the minds of some Of
the older men Of this state that he was
prominently identified with the maxi
ing OF the early history of Kansas. At
the time of his death, two weeks ago,
General Thayer was just a little past
his eighheth-six birthday.
Major r. J. Anderson of this city
served under him as adiutant general
and later while in his command re-
ceived his title Of major. Major An

time after his promotion to brlgadier
general he was assigned to the com

second division of the Seventh army
corps with headquarters at Fort
Smith. Arkansas The troops OF his
command were mostly Kansas regi-

sistant adjutant general with the rank
of major under Blunt and held the
position under Mcneil and Thayer.
Blunt was a Kansas man and fight
err from the ground up and the
Kansas officers did not take kindly to
his removal Mcneil was also
fighter and in short time he had
gained the confidence Of the entire
command. Mcneil was relieved by
Thayer who was another fighter and
q strict disciplinarian. He looked
upon the Kansas troops as rather an

own way and in the meantime do

There was plenty of bushwhacking
and a number of minor engagements.
The telegraph line over the Boston
mountains to Fayetteville and south
western Missouri had to be protected;
the Union citizens or Mountain Feds
as they were called had to be protect
ed and provided for the Arkansas
river to Little Rock guarded and the
wagon road to the base of supplies at
Fort Scott kept open. When the wa
fer fin the river was too low to allow
the steamboats, to transport supplies
from Little Rock, which frequently
happened. the army was compelled to
draw supplies from Fort Scott. Fort
smith and for that matter every
camp occupied by the Union troops.
