arms glistening in the SUM-" Brown
had only thirty men with which to
oppose them. Again quoting from
Captain PAasoNs's narrative.
"'come on said BROWN to me.
1T picked up my Sharps rife.
I'VE walked silently for time.
then he spoke quietly. Were you
ever under fire?'
"'Tell me what you want me TO
do and I'll do it, said.
Take more pains to end life we'll
than to live wel,' said BROWN.
Brown kept his men we'll under the
protection of the woods, and as every
Cne OF them was a fine marksman
they thinned the ranks Of their foe.
They were driven back from the
town and Osawaton1ie fell into the
possession of the enemy, who kept 1t
only long enough to set its nineteen
houses afire.
They retreated. taking in their
wagons two dead and wounded for
every one that went into the brush
with Brown" said Captain PARSONS.
Where they stopped on the way
there were pools of blood. 1t
was estimated that their dead and
wounded numbered about eighty.
They told the people they were haul
ing away abolitionists. The fact
was BROWN lost in all only ten men
dead and wounded"
JOHN J. INGALLS, said that this bat
tie was the most important episode
in the Kansas war and the high
divide of the contest:
'It was our Thermopyl@ and
JOHN BROWN was our Leonidas with
his Spartan band. Some one was in
deadly earnest, and when Freedom
recounts the sacrifices Of her sons
she will not ask the number or the
rank OF those who fell. WINKELRIED
Is as dear to her as wAsHINaroN and
Osawatomie is as sacred as Bunker
HILL"
Captain PARSONS recalls with en-.
thusiasm the memories Of those early
Kansas days and that he was one Of
the thirty men who fought at Osa-
watomie. To him JOHN BRowN was
q hero. His admiration for the man
would have carried him on to Har-
rers Ferry "if 1t had not been for
mother. which," he added sadly, ''is
another story"

John Brown and Kansas.

To have lived through the turbu-
lent days of the KansasMissouri
border strife and now at So, the same
age as that of our own CHAUNCEY
DEPEw, to look back upon those in
tensely bitter times of guerilla war
fare, frontier ruffianism, sword and
fire in a retrospection free from Sec
tional rancor and prejudice is the
unusual distinction of Captain LUKE
F. PARSONS of Salina, Kansas, the
last survivor of JOHN Browns Kan
sas men.
Captain PARSONS went as a youth
of 20 from Massachusetts, to Law
renee, Kansas, and was drawn into
the free soil struggle through spirit
of adventure and admiration for
Brown Lawrence was the center of
the Free State movement and It's in
habitants were largely anti-slavery
men from Massachusetts and the
Connecticut River Valley.
Young PARSONS was thrown from
the very first into the heat of the
strife by becoming manager OF the
Free State Hotel at Lawrence. He
was on duty when FAM, officially
deputy marshal but in reality a rep
rescntative Of the pro-slavery ele-
ment, came to the town and made
most of the men prisoners. Angered
at some remark, FAIN set up his
cannon in the street and bombarde6
the hotel. On the night of May 21,
1866, his followers completed their
work of destruction by burning the
hotel, many private residences and
Governor RoBiNsoNs home.
"It was this attack upon Law
renee" said Captain PARSONS in the
Topeka Capital. that led to the bat
lie of Pottawatomie, or, as 1t was
called, the 'Pottawatomie massacre
Old Tiger Browns ire was aroused
and he determined to protect the
Free state settlers by terrorizing the
pro-slavery men, settlers and nom
settlers" In this engagement Brown
gained his first notoriety as an anti
slavery leader. Five of his oppo.
nents "wens down under the wrath
Of our two edged swords" says a
Free State report.
"Old JOHN BRowN OF Osawatomie."
h. - he 80 frfn
and enemy alike, was born in the
month Of May. 1872 years ago. In
the months Of May and June sixty
six years ago, when BaowN was Sc,
was fought the series of guerrilla en-
gagements in which no quarter was
asked and none was given, that led
UP TO the battle Of Osawatomie.
Following the burning of Lawrence
and the skirmish at Pottawatomie
BRowY and his Kansas men had their
first pitched battle with an organized
militia force at Prairie Creek. They
engaged there considerable detsch-
fnent under command Of Captain
HENRY CLAY PARE, surrounded him in
grove and on June 2, 1856. forced
his unconditional surrender.
BRowN then retired to Osawat-
cmie, and went into camp on Mid
die Creek. The first indication that
an expedition was sent against him
at Osawatomie was the appearance
OF force Of 400 men at the Marals
des Cygnes River and the cry Of a
messenger They are coming!" "They

Exterminator, the Invincible.

Exterminator, the Invincible.
In carrying 135 pounds to victory
in the Brooklyn Handicap. Exter-
minator established a record that has
not been approached since the race
was first run in 1887. He also
strengthened his hold on the conf
dence of those who have been won
by his great courage, fine speed and
rugged honesty.
The American turf has had many
great horses In the last generation.
Many have been geldings like the
hero of this years Brooklyn. Parole,
Monitor, Drake Carter, Freeland,
Banquet, Raceland and Roamer were
among the best. All were fine per-
formers, but none furnished posterity
with a, racing feat comparable to
Exterminator's Brooklyn.
OF the stations. despite the fact
that it is impossible to classify horses
of different periods with accuracy, a
majority OF turf experts would pro-
claim Man o. War the best that pres
ent day followers of the turf have
known. Man O. War was not per-
mitted to meet the older horses, ex-
cept in the $4,000 special race with
Sir Barton. The public estimate of his
quality must always rest on the man
ner in which he achieved his vic
tories and the ease with which he
broke records. 1t Is idle to speculate
as to whether Man o. War could have
duplicated Exterminator's sterling
performance.
That Exterminator is gelding is a
matter of regret. He will not pass
his glorious qualities to future gen.
erations when his racing days are
over. The quietude of paddock at
the Kilmer stud, near Binghamton,
awaits him when age weakens those
marvelously plant muscles and slows
down the stout heart which must be
powerful beyond the ordinary to
serve the demands made upon 1t in
the last five years.
That the old war horse has won
s213,000 In stakes and purses shows
what a valuable piece OF property Ex-
terminator Is. On the list Of Amer
ican thofoughbreds he Is now second
to Man O. War in cash won, with
every chance Of surprising the S249.-
465 to the credit of the three-year-
old He is sixth in the worlds list Of
winners, the English horse Isinglass
topping all records with $291,275.
Donovan, Rock Sand and Bayardo
are the others. and Bayardo, with
$223,665 to his credit, may be passed
by Exterminator by the time Sara
toga is reached. Exterminator was a
$1,000 yearling when J. c. MILAN
bought him. He cost w. S. KILMER
s12,500 as three-year-old.
All weight for age races like the
Saratoga Cup. Jockey Club Gold Cup
and other tests in which horses meet
on an equal footing seem this year to
be at the mercy of Exterminator. In
giving Grey Lag nine pounds actual
weight he disposed of the pretensions
of the older division and none of the
three-year-olds hold SUFFICIENT prom
ise to threaten his supremacy.
Americans would like to see Ex-
terminator sent to England this fall
to be ready for try at the Ascot
Gold Cup and other great tests in
which he would meet the best horses
of Great Britain and France. That
he would uphold the honor and tradi-
tions of the American turf Is certain.
