Description
“One Hundred Dollars – REWARD!!!!" - - RANAWAY from the subscriber, living in Clay County, Missouri, on Saturday the 2d inst. (June 9, 1855), my black boy named JO: he is about 17 or 18 years of age, about 5 feet 5 inches high, stout made, and of good countenance, apt to look a person in the face when conversing with him, and has quite a sluggish walk; when walking his feet projects very much at right angles. He had on when he left, new cotton pants of a reddish color, a roundabout coat of a light grey color, which he has worn the greater part of the winter, a coarse pair of old shoes, and a black wool hat about half worn out.
I will give $10 reward for said boy if taken in this County - $25 if taken in any of the adjoining counties - $50 if taken in any other county in the State, and $100 if taken in any other State or Territory, and all reasonable charges paid if delivered to me or confined in jail so that I can get him. It is probable he has gone to the Kansas Territory. Thos. Gosney, June 15, 1855Date(s) of Creation
