Description
Jake Hurd. - - This fellow, who came so near being sent to his final account by being shot in the breast by Tobe Owens, some time ago, in this city (Lawrence, Kansas), and whose exploits in kidnapping (free Blacks) have made him quite notorious in this county, was arrested in St. Louis several days since, and returned in irons to Glenwood, Iowa, where he had tried his hand at his old trade.
With him were two others, named Beck and Wildey. They were taken to St. Jo. (St. Joseph, Missouri) on the cars, and from thence to Glenwood by boat, in charge of an officer from Iowa and two from St. Louis.
They will probably be put to work for the State of Iowa awhile, though they confidently expected to be Iynched when they reached their destination. - Kansas City Journal Commercial.
