Kansas City Motorists VIII Hike
Through Town Next Wednesday.

Thirty automobiles left Kansas
City yesterday on the third reliability
run Of the Kansas City Automobile
club. hey will be gone ten days. On
the afternoon of September Z, these
cars will pass through Abilene. As
a mark of condescension to the lit
tie village they have decided to foot
their horns once to arouse the sleep
ing burg and in order that the viii
layers may see the automobiles, some
thing not known ON Abilene streets.
For the Kansas City club debated
for some time whether or not Abilene
was worthy Of being mads a whist
ling station.
But there will be some interest
shown in the race as the arrival Of
strange automobiles attracts the at
tention of the automobile enthusiast
who inquiries after makes and styles
and colors of cars.

For Binding Corn

Good morning boys; are you 60
ing to Lawrence today?" said Brown,
as he saluted.
"Why, l know you" replied White,
and taking deliberate aim with his
rifle, he shot the son of the abolit-
ionist leader dead in the road. This
was shortly before sunrise. The
word went rapidly around town and
reached John Brown, half a mile
from town. With Cline and Upde-
graft he collected the men as best
he could. Learning that Reid had
a cannon with him, the defenders
decided to abandon the blockhouse
and Brown and his "army"-forty-
one men In all-took up their posi-
tion in the timber along the river, on
the south side, facing south. Brown
had seventeen men on the right.
Updegraff had ten men in the
center. Cline had fourteen men on
the left. In the Emlgrant Aid Com
pany's mill, further to the left, there
was Pap" Austin, an ex-regular SOL
der, equipped with a rifle, carrying
an ounce ball.
When the Free State forces we're
being arranged in the timber, the
Missourians were passing within
600 yards Of them. Holmes, a vol
unteer, advanced toward the top Of
the hin southwest Of town to recon-
hotter, and finding the enemy close,
fired, wounding an invader. Holmes
then retreated TO the Free State lines
and was pursued BY the invaders,
who formed a line along the high
ground where the John Brown monu-
ment now stands. Then they fired
three guns, said 10 be a signal for
the Brown forces to surrender. But
Brown had no such idea, and II he
understood the meaning Of the sig
nal. he TETS Ne troops no intlmatlo
that be did. He had given strict
orders to his troops not to fire q shot
until he had given The order to fire.
But The sound OF the three shots was
TOO much for the volunteers ana be-
'isvlng that he battle had begun.

THE BATTLE OF osAWAToMIE.

The field of the Battle of Osawa-
tonne, dedicated today by Theodore
Roosevelt, is not large. Neither were
the forces that struggled against one
another there on August 80, 1856.
But the battle they fought was the
most memorable of the Border War.
Captain John Brown, DR.. w. w.
Updegraff and Captain Cline COM
manded the defense and General
John w. Reid was in charge of the
400 Missourians who were the In
vaders. After crossing the Marais
DIES Cygnes at Bundy's Ford four
miles northwest of Osawatomie,
the invaders approached the little
pioneer town about daylight. Mar
tin White, preacher, acted as
guide. Frederick Brown, son of
John Brown, had planned to return
to Lawrence that day. On his way
to a neighbours home he met Reid
and White with a small advance
guard.

The Clay Center Times has made
an avowed attempt at picking an all
star baseball team from the C. X
league teams. After pushing every
Clay Center man to the front as be.
ing out of their class and making the
entire team a bunch of gentlemanlJ
idols, the Times says:
"As to players, here are the best
players seen on Clay Center's tlia.
mond during the season, the onel
who starred. Catcher, Bankhead, Of
Ellsworth; LIST base, Grady Of Sallna
End base, Gramley Of Clay Center;
Srd base, Brtton of Abilene; short

Of Manhattan; center field, Strong
Of Manhattan; right field. Monroe,
of Abilene, Monroe played center
field but as he and Strong were SO
particularly the star flslders, in max
ing up a star team, Monroe should
be moved into right field, leaving
Strong In center. The best pitchers
seen here were stokesberry of Clay
Center, Jepson of Junction City,
Halght Of COncordia and Taylor Of
Ellsworth. This does not mean that
these are the pitchers who will be
the greatest, but they proved the
bes. In the league. Jones OF Chap

they comemnced firing. Jason Brow
was one of the first to fire.
The first attack, which was mad
on the right wing Of the Free statt
troops, was partially repulsed. Their
che Missourians brought up theil
solitary cannon and placed 1t in Q
position about 400 yards from the
timber where Browns men were sta
toned. The gun was loaded with
grape but did no harm, the mark
manship being poor. During this
time the Free State men kept moving
east ard returning the fire Of the
enemy. Finally the attackers got
disguised with the cannon, dismoun;-
ed and made a charge into the tim
her. Then the main body Of the Free
State men, having CALAMITY held their
own against ten times their number
for an hour, were compelled to sur
render or retreat. Most Of them es-
capped across the Marlas des Cygnes,
some going in a small boat while
others swan.
The invaders went on into Osa-
watomie and commenced to pillage
and burn 1t. All the houses in the
town, with three or four exceptions,
were burned. The invaders left town
with twelve covered wagons-two
filled with men who had felt Browns
led, and most of the others, filled |
with the property of Osawatomie citi-
zens, made into plumber by the ruff
fans.
AS the Mssourlans approached
he town in the morning David r.
Garrison and George Cutter, who
lad spent the night in the Carr home
vest of Osawatomie, attempted to es-
ape to the woods of the Potawatomie
nd carry the alarm to the town. They
1ere pursued and Garrison was kill
ed and Cutter wounded and left for
cad.
The invaders took seven Free State
risoners with them, two Of whom
hey shot. The Free State men who
scaped reassembled at log house Y
orth of the river and the next day
,moved to the south side where they
cyan the building on another camp.
The loss of the Missourians was
ot generally known. Reid said that n
was two killed and few wounded. c

result of the invasion, Frederick O
