Description
Recapture. - - The Marshal of Weston got wind of the fact that a number of runaway slaves were in Lawrence. He went over to that city with a posse, and watching the opportunity when the negroes would attempt to travel for Iowa, succeeded in arresting 13 slaves and 3 nigger-thieves.
The party passed through Leavenworth this morning, on their way to Weston, where the negroes will be returned to their owners, and the dirty scoundrels who were engaged in running them off will be dealt with according to the laws of Missouri.
