pany of Kansas Red Legs. After
the Dry Wood skirmish our men
pursued Lane to the Kansas line ;
but when he learned that Gen
eral Prices army was en- route
to Lexington, he came back into
Missouri, and resumed his pillag-
ing. Years afterwards | was
told by one Of his men, that eau
t%iously moving eastward, they
approached Osceola, having plan
ned TO raid the town at night,
and capture my ordnance train
and stores. With that object
in view they rushed in about mid.
night, six hours or more after my
force had left the place, and
meeting with no opposition, they
robbed the stores and citizens
of all the goods and provisions
they could carry away; then set
ting fire to the houses around
the public square, left by the
light of the burning town.

not in harmony with the secession

central part of the state the
wealthy slave-holding section
with a respectable force, an OPP
p%ortunity would be afforded the
people there in sympathy with
the southern cause to join him;
and that they would flock to his
standard with such unanimity as
to enable him to hold his posi-
tion until reinforcements were
sent to him by the Confederate
government. 1t was a delusive
hope. He planned well, but
the substantial Missourians were
more interested in the conserva-
ton of their property and scalps,
than in sacrificing anything for
the defence Of any mere alb
Stract principle. Yet, when it
became known that the Union
garrison of 2640 men had sur
rendered, large co~ntingents Of
Missouri chivalry did rush into

Michigan's great State Fair was for
tunate enough to be able to sign
contract with Louis Disbrow, the dare
devil mile track driver, whose sensa-
tional performance with his great
automobiles, the Jay Eye See and the
Zip. have startled the country this
year Disbrow is looked upon all over
the United States as the peer of all
drivers in mile track performances
and his great 200-horse power racing
tuggernaut, which he hurls round the
track at ninety miles per hour, was
constructed by him especially for this
sort of work. His anxiety to annex the
mile record brought him to the Mich
igan State Fair. The Fair track is
looked upon by the drivers as the
fastest mile course in the world. In
the races at the Fair Disbrow will
meet Frank Kulick, who last year

manufacturer, bought Kulick off with
a $1,000 bill at that time and so he
did not drive again, Kulick. Disbrow,
