Description
The facts briefly related by our correspondent formed the basis yesterday of much town talk and general laughter.
Rixie (Dr. Samuel Rixey), who came up here, went home as quickly as he could, carrying with him many wounds and a big disgust. (U.S. Commissioner) Callahan was observed to be very despondent; likewise, (Deputy U. S. Marshalls) Hook and McDill. Cally (Judge Callahan) thinks he’s disgraced by draggling his ermine in a Lager Refectory, and H. and M. talk about “obeying the law” (which they did by acting as ferrymen and going into Missouri) in a painful and melancholy way, as if they didn’t care much for the law any way.
As a matter of information, we should like to know where the kidnappers will hold their next court, and at what hour of the night. Kickapoo offers many inducements, Tonganoxie is feasible, and the Island House is not less favorable because situated in another State.
P.S. - Secesh parties in Missouri who desire faithful slave-catchers are referred to the above-named persons as reliable and cheap.
P.P.S. - George is Free. He swam the river after poor Rixie was shot, and made for Leavenworth. We have read the foregoing to him and he pronounces it “substantially correct.” George feels well and thinks he’ll remain in town some days. For further information inquire at this office.Date(s) of Creation
