rsPiey, and FistiesGs.


Chips was at Troy, April sth Is5 and suddenly
ueed OF unusual concern among the people and
on giving attention to the cause convinced that
man had been found dead-nurdersd his premises
Another party at the same moment manfes,ng great
concern about horse scaawag had stolen another
was Perpie1ed at having signed note with his neighbor
and had the debt to pay Standing at hand was poor
wretch bearing evidences from bruse his face that
he had been in foul crowd Yet his thoughts were
scanning these varied scenes his attention dawn to
the evidences ofnteres concerning the murdered man. As


was plain that putting themselves and friends
In the way to job the inquest; besides
for employment in duties pertaining to the other minor
e1ctements there were plenty Of candidates PshaS!
why take notice Of such things all Why not let men
20 ahead knock down and drag pleasure until the
legal authorities rVm encouragement thereto!


T. took notice Of case In Court wherein farmer had
In times past when his prospects brighter given the
public privilege Of highways the and west lines
Of his entire Of and-not thinking Of said
privilege leading to the destruction of his crops But hav
ing borne with the evil for time and instead of bet


ter the worse the the Board of
County Commissioners; which memorial was approved
by about Is respectable cfens asking Board Of Coun
ty Commissioners to build fences along the margin of said
roads in order to prevent stock belonging to the public
from leaving said and resspasns upon the balance
of his section which request denied the
plea that it would establish precedent leading others
ask for the protection.


The memorialis asked why not then enforce the herd
law ahuriins proteciionsts all Ito which answer
given that the people wer ready for it, Menorialist
answered that he feared the C.
strued to his intention Of protecting himself his
own premises.


&C. don't question whether the Board Of County Commits
soners of DOniphan County Kansas know that the first
clause Of the K Section LIST Article of the Constitution of
the United States is null and rod by force of the first
clause OF the 5th Section and third clasc of the
Section LIST Article and Sd clause Section Article
W. but he does question whether the alluded to
not being ready for the adoption Of system of equal and
exact justice have considered the Of the
that in tramping principle of aw) justice under foot
we become guilty Of the whole law hence left without
the protection Of lawI justice altogether leaving every
man and child in jeopardy o life liberty and the pursuit
of happiness" every dayJ


Yet We have doubt that If a murder should grow
out Of that affair the whoIe country would be thrown in
to excitement thereabout and the County
actions approved in appropiang County finances therea
bout to twice the cost Of those hafme lines Of fence
by the fact that the County Commissioners have offered
$500 reward to which Gov Osborn has added sOO total
reward of 81 900 for the apprehension Of John Morssey
Yet Gov Osborn by bit of his braggadocio tomfoolery
intercepted subscriptions that in the
East last Fall which let alone might have saved much
suffering among the unfortunate throughout Kansas;
which spirit Of false pride or direct oppression having
lodged in the hearts Of of the people of DOnphsn
County large number of farmers tsay 800 perhaps will
not be able to properly employ themselves farming this
Summer. Yet evidently pleased with the state
of oppression and their voices prevail Such is the order
Of American civilization and such is the difficulties there
FROM that attempting give their time
and attention to the of advancing civilization must
make their abors revenue thereby placing the


fruits Of their talent Of the poor else ey
dSsess liable become paupers hence the closing
of the sanuctuary
