Description

Another Kansas Outrage: - - The following item we find in the Parkville Democrat of the 29th: On Saturday night, Daniel Jones and Thomas Fielding, too highly respectable gentleman, who has gone from this County and settled within a few miles of Lawrence, were set upon by a body of those notorious scamps and forcibly driven from the country. When asked by what authority they did this, the reply was, by the authority of Sharps rifles. These gentlemen, we are informed had a large number of cattle (from 150 to 200 head) which they were forced to leave to the mercy of those unprincipled wretches.
