BY JOHN BROWN.

Early in the morning of Aug.
80 the enemy's scouts approached
to within one mile and a half Of
the western boundary of the town
of Osawatomie. At this place my
son Frederick (who was not at
tached to my force) had lodged,
with some four other young men
from Lawrence, and a young man
named Garrison from Middle
Creek. The scouts, led by a pro-
slavery preacher named White,
shot my son dead in the road,
while he-as / have since asceT-
tained-supposed them to be
friendly. At the same time they
butchered Mr.. Garrison, and bad
ly mangled one of the young men
from Lawrence, who came with
my son, leaving him for dead

had stopped during the night
about two and one-half miles
from them, and nearly one mile
from Osawatomie. l had no or
ganized force, but only some IL or
15 new recruits, who were order
ed to leave their preparations for
breakfast and follow me into the
town, as soon as this news was
brought to me.
AS | had no means of learning
correctly the force of the enemy,
placed II of the recruits in a log
house, hoping we might be able to
defend the town. i then gathered
some Is more men together,
whom we armed with guns; and
We started in the direction of the
enemy. After going a few rods,
We could see them approaching
the town in line of battle, about
half a mile off, upon a hill west
of the village. / then gave up
all idea of doing more than to an
noy, from the timber near the
town, into which we were all re-
treated, and which was filled with
a thick growth of underbrush; but
j had no time to recall the IL
men in the log house, and so lost
their assistance in the fight. At
the point above named l met with
Capt. Cline, a very active young
man, who had with him some ~
or Id mounted men, and persuad-
ed him to go with us into the tim
Der, on the southern shore of the
Usage, or Marais des Cygenes, a
little to the northwest from the
village. Here the men, number
ing not more than 80 in all, were
directed to scatter and secrete
themselves as well as they could,
and await the approach of the
enemy. This was done in full
view of them (who must have seen
the whole movement), and had to
be done in the utmost haste. l

his men were not even dismounted
In the fight, but cannot assert pos

When the left wing of the enc
my had approached to within

menced firing, and very soon
threw the northern branch of the
enemy's line into disorder. This

BIRMINGHAM TEAM

St. Bernard, October 26.-fSpecial. )-The annual field day meet of St. Bernard col lege has occurred.
 The weather was ideal and the campus in excellent condition. This was an in- centive to the boys to take an unusually lively interest in all the races. Many rec ords that had been established in pre- vious years were broken.
 Leon R McGavoc of Birmingham dis tinguished himself among the seniors by winning the greatest number of races. He easily won the 100-yard dash in 1t seconds fiat.
 Among the juniors Joseph A. Biggio of Montgomery broke all previous records in that department by running the 10t yards in 10A seconds.
 The pole vault was the most interest ing event in the afternoon. Robert J Diaz of Pensacola cleared the tape ai 8 feet and inches, the best record SC for at the college

Harry Fro hoff (senior departmenD, Covert VII Hams Junior departmenD and Frank Perunko, all from the Magic City" es- tablished new records for their respective departments.

 feet, and he has at last found his place
 at right tackle. During the last few
 years he has been playing center, and at that position he was thought to be
 unusual in the fact that he played a steady defensive game. In his new po-
 sition he is one of the consistent gathers

 large holes for the backs when a short gain is necessary for first down. His 1s0 pounds stands him in good as a

WASHINGTON AND LEE
 LOOKS FORMIDABLE

Washington and Lee University, Octo- Der 26-(Special.) )-Saturday's game has brought a few new men into the lime light.
 The team was somewhat crippled and 1t became a necessity to use number of new men from the "scrub" squad. oQuinn, who has been filling the posi- ton of quarter for some time with a great deal of credit to himself, was un- able to play Saturdays game, so Mo- Callie, who has been showing considerable ability in practice, was called to fill that important position. Metallic, by his ex- hibition in Saturdays game in snapping the ball and using his head in tight places, showed the possibility of devel- oping into good quarter.
 Waddilrs stellar work Saturday showed his ability beyond question to fill the position of right halfback. His years of experience in football certainly proved him to be a man of considerable worth in the position that he fills. It has been noticed all this fall how much he has improved over last year. His bunting Saturday and every day in practice has steadily improved his chances for be- ing the greatest punter that Washington and Lee has ever had. His work through the Davidson line and around the end showed that he lacks nothing in develop ment in that line of play. The possibility of his becoming a South Atlantic selection brightens every day. Without his won deful work Saturday the team would have been seriously handicapped.
 Burke is another man whose work al end has brought forth a great deal of ia vorable comment by the Washington anc Lee fans. The noticeable feature r Burke's work is that he seems to be the
