| the farm with his mother when his
| father and all the other men hurried
! to Lawrence to form company to re-
sist the Indians. Benajah Hiatt stayed
behind and took food to the women
and children on horseback. Quantrilrs
band took his fine pony and Hiatt
found that the neighbors would starve
If he did not quickly get food to them.
So he went. shoeless and hatless, to
Quantrill and told him that he was
feeding the families, of both Republic
ans and Democrats, and that the raid
ers had accidently taken his pony
Quantrill admitted his spirit and gave
him the pony and another saddle.
Coffin, who did not like this life, and
like Hiatt, would not fight, was in
the Indian mission at the time and
later returned to Wayne county.
Brown Was Also Neighbor.
Another interesting neighbor Of the
Codys and HATS was John Brown of
John Browns body" fame. Mr. Hiatt
knew the youth well who caused John
Brown to go down in history. 1t was
Browns son, Dan. The Democrats of
Missouri, who were slave holders, met
the boy and on being informed that
he was the son of the ardent Repub-
lican of Kansas, struck him with a
heavy bride so hard he was killed.
Coffin and Hiatt were cousins and
brothers-in-law, having married Sis
tiers. They were sons of Levi Coffin
and Mordecai Hiatt, the men who
founded the underground railway for
assisting negroes to escape to Canada.
