. A new centennial history of the State of Kansas [microform] : being a full and complete civil, political, and military history of the state from its earliest settlement to the present time. Natural history; Sciences naturelles. Tin: W'au. 273 numerous net:- of injustice and oppression, bonlcrin;^ upon mur- der. Wo liavcseen wliat occurred in tiie case of (Jen. I'onieroy, and almost every man that had business outside tha city was liable to be carried as n. prisoner to Lecoinpton or Franklin, to have papers seized and conliscated, and sometimes property stolen, for the Missourians were not all immaculate on that score. A medical man driving from the city to his farm with a delirious l)ationt was made a prisoner, and both parties detained for a con- siderable time. The correspondent of the New York Trilmiie, Mr. Phillips, has made the whole world ac(pKunted with his ad- ventures, as they were j) in -the of Horace Greeley's paper, and many citi/sons from Leavenworth, Topeka and elsewhere, were captured and held in durance for various terms, where they would hear the drunken rullians clamoring for the blood of one abolitionist. More than once ])i eparations were made for hanging these prisoners, but the oflicers succeeded in rci)ressing such tumults. When the hostilities of 1855 were brought to an end by the governor's interposition, there were sev- eral prisoners liberated from the camps of the enemy. Immediately after Mr. Shannon had sent the letter last men- tioned to Col. Sumner, at Leavenworth, he forwarded notice to the authorities in Lawrence that he wished to visit that city, and awaiting an escort for the purpose. Mr. Lowery, one of the delegation that waited upon the governor at Shawnee Mission, was named the leader of a company of ten citizens, who rode out to the Wakarusa camp to bring in tlieir visitor. The committee of safety received the governor and three Missourian colonels in their apartments in the Free State Ilotel.
