Description
"The Platte County Sentinel says a band of Kansas robbers visited the residence of Mrs. Risk (Malinda Risk in Marshall Township), living a few miles from Platte City, and robbed her of $500 worth of silverware and plate and $150 in money, and $300 in clothing, and two valuable Negroes.
Captain Woods, of the Platte County Militia, went in pursuit of the robbers but without any other success than tracking them some 4 miles to the point on the river where they re-crossed to Kansas."
