ing, had also called out the militia of
the adjoining counties of McDonough

which they did, through a committee
sent to the governor at the county
seat, his headquarters. After some
considerable delay and indecision as
to what course to pursue next, a force
of ten men was sent to the city with
the officer to make the arrest and
guard the prisoners to headquarters.
The officer made the arrests with
out trouble, the mayor and council
lors signifying their willingness to ac-
company him to Carthage at eight
o'clock the next morning. Eight
o'clock came, but the accused failed
to appear. and the posse marched
back to Carthage without them. This
incensed the governor. He blamed the
officer very unjustly for returning
without them, That individual knew
better than his exeellency the ways
Of the accused. He knew that if they
had intended submission. they would
have presented themselves at the
time fixed; and if they did not, that

an uphill business to hunt out and
bring away an equal number from
