Description
And Still They Go! - - On Saturday Night last, some 35 slaves crossed the river above Weston. On Monday night, 29 crossed below Weston. Sixty-four (64) slaves run off in three days.
At this rate, Platte County will soon be depopulated of this species of property. Horses, mules, wagons, &c., were taken by the runaways, and the whites who superintended the exodus.
We learn, however, thanks to the martial law instituted by Gen. Ewing, that 3 of the robbers have been arrested at Leavenworth, and a large amount of the stolen plunder seized. Platte County Sentinel.
(Researcher's note: The Platte County Sentinel was a weekly newspaper published in Weston, Missouri, during the Civil War era from 1861 to 1864.)Date(s) of Creation
