was known as the Ohio party, a body
Of about seyenty-five determined men
to represent the Buckeye state, just as
other companies had left other states,
many OF them from the far east. to
fight against slavery on the prairies OF
Kansas.
The Ohio party in April, 1855, went
by rail to Louisville, and thence to St.
Louis by the steamboat Alva Adams.
There they reshipped. taking the Polar
star on the Mississippi, and steamed
up the Missouri to Kansas City,
thence overland to Lawrence, which
was one of the Free Soil towns OF the
border war days.
1t wasn't long until Irvine had a
speaking acquaintance with the man
who two years after planned and start
ed to carry out one OF the nerviest, II
the most foolish, undertakings In the
history Of the war, with which the
Buckeye follower had no sympathy.
however much he helped to back him
up in Kansas.
he so minded. who It was who fired
an historic shot at Lawrence. One
Sam Jones, an avowed pro-slaver, had
come up from Missouri to make some
arrests. Jones had gone into a tent
at night and while there he cast his
own shadow on the wall Of the tent.
It was then that rifle shot rang out
In the night air and Jones measured
his length on the ground under the
canvas. Jones was not killed, but the
incident served to greatly excite the
two parties, each bent on beating the
other. Jones and his followers had
no trouble in getting assistance from
the United States cavalry quartered
In that region. Many OF the soldiers
openly sympathized with the prO-slav-
cry crowd and aided the latter in car
rying out their plans.
When Irvine was asked where ne
was most OF the time up to the day
when Brown left Kansas and started
south to free the slaves. he said that
he was IN the saddle. He was in
most Of the skirmishes and BUSH
whacking episodes Of the Kansas Dor
der war. One OF the Ohio party es-
capped being hanged after the rope had
been drawn up two or three times.
Irvine saw the burning OF the Free
Soil hotel in Lawrence and he saw
from his saddle the advance OF 2.70O
Missourians who had invaded the ter
ritory for the purpose Of running out
the Free Sellers. The advance OF the
invaders could be seen from Law
renee making their way out Of Frank
lin. a small village to the east Some
OF the oncoming hosts were horseback.
some afoot, and who later were at
tackled by John Brown and small
body Of bushwhackers who went out
TO give the slavery crowd battle.
Irvine says that be did not see the
dght at Osawatomie, but he knew
Cook and many Of the others who
were with Brown at Harper's ferry.

CANNOT PLAY SUMMER BALL
Students Of Wisconsin University IN
Games Where Admission Charged
Called Professionals.

Summer baseball playing has had
the effect of disqualIfying a large ma
1ority OF members Of the University
Of wisconsin baseball team. It is UNI
derstood that participation of the stu
dent players in summer games has
been general, not necessarily on
teams Of professional clubs. but in
contests where admission has been
charged. Under the conference rules,
this latter fact is evidence in itself Of
professional playing.
The athletic department now re-
quires each athlete to sign an affidavit
that he is an amateur In the strict
sense OF the word, and It Is said that
few II any of the players are willing
to sign such a statement when their
amateurism is challenged only by the
fact that gate receipts were collected.
