Description
Culled Gemman Nabbed. - - One of the authorized recruiting officers of Jim Lane repaired from Leavenworth recently duly uniformed and equipped into Platte County for the purpose of recruiting from the culled (colored) persuasion.
He signally failed in his glorious scheme and was nabbed by the authorities for disregarding an order from Gen. Schofield to the effect that no person from another State shall recruit from citizens of Missouri.
On of these dark regulars came to this city lately and endeavored to recruit but vamoosed very suddenly as the militia got on his track.
The one arrested in Platte County was sent to St. Louis. A dark subject will be investigated upon his arrival.Date(s) of Creation
