Book Title: History Of Shawnee County, Kansas

CHAPTER VI.

Shawnee County in the Border Troubles—John Brown and His Followers— The Siege of
Lawrence—Foraging upon the Enemy—Gen. James H. Lane and the Free-State
Cause—John Ritchie's Arrest—The Kansas Emigrant Route—Enlistments in the Civil
War—Campaigns Against the Indians.

    Free-State meetings at Big Springs and Topeka in the fall of 1855 led to a
clash of authority in Douglas County which has passed into history as "The
Wakarusa War." It was precipitated by a personal encounter between Charles W.
Dow and Franklin M. Coleman over the occupancy of a piece of land at Hickory
Point, 10 miles south of Lawrence, Dow being shot and killed by Coleman as he
was leaving the latter's house, November 21st. Dow was a Free-State man, and
Coleman a Pro-Slavery immigrant from Missouri. The Free-State men threatened to
avenge the death of their comrade, and one of the friends of Dow, Jacob Branson,
was arrested by Sheriff Samuel J. Jones, of Douglas County, an appointee of the
Pro-Slavery Legislature. The Free-State men accomplished the rescue of Branson,
and conveyed him to Lawrence, where the early-day troubles seemed to concentrate
and the Free-Soilers were in greatest force. Sheriff Jones appealed to the
Governor for assistance, and Governor Shannon invoked the aid of the militia.
Missouri furnished most of the Pro-Slavery troops, and the Free-State towns of
Kansas rallied to the defense of Lawrence, in the resultant melee.

THE SIEGE OF LAWRENCE.

    Lawrence was in a state of siege for two weeks ending December 7, 1855, when
Governor Shannon disbanded the militia and declared peace. Incidental to the
war, Thomas W. Barber was killed, December 6th, by a party of raiders from the
camp at Lecompton. The war produced no other casualties, but it was one of the
most significant events in early Kansas history, as it brought into prominence
such well-known characters as Charles Robinson, James H. Lane, Samuel C.
Pomeroy, Samuel N. Wood, Wilson Shannon and John Brown. The last named arrived
in Lawrence December 7th, from Osawatomie, with four of his sons. They were all
well armed, and traveled in a wagon, from the front of which floated the
American flag.

    Shawnee County contributed one of the companies that went to the defence of
Lawrence. It was organized November 27, 1855, with Daniel H. Horne as captain;
Asaph Allen, 1st lieutenant; Loring Farnsworth, 2nd lieutenant; John Ritchie,
3rd lieutenant; non-commissioned officers,—Leonard W. Horne, William F. Creitz,
W. W. Henderson, James G. Bunker, Andrew S. Waters, Moses Hubbard and Henry B.
Cowles; privates,—Augustus H. Barnard, George F. Boyd, Leroy L. Brown, Philip

FORAGING FOR SUPPLIES.

    In 1856 the relations between the Free-State men of Kansas and the
Pro-Slavery faction in Missouri became so strained that-it was impossible to get
supplies from the Missouri towns, the sale and transportation of provisions and
merchandise being almost entirely shut off, or accomplished at great loss and
risk. It was feared that the Missourians would continue their raids into the new
settlements and that the lives of the Free-State men and their families would be
in constant jeopardy. Most of the towns fortified against invasion and many of
them organized military companies for further protection. The Shawnee County
company was organized as Company B of the 2nd Regiment of Kansas Volunteers.
Aaron D. Stevens, alias Whipple, was colonel of the regiment. L. C. Wilmarth was
chief of commissary, and William F. Creitz, captain of the Topeka company.
Colonel Whipple was in the United States Army in the Mexican War. He was
imprisoned at Fort Leavenworth for attacking an officer who was abusing a
soldier. He escaped from prison and came to Topeka, hoping to hide his identity
under the name of Stevens. He was a prominent factor in the early history of
Kansas, followed John Brown to Harper's Ferry in 1859, and was executed at
Charleston, Virginia, March 16, 1860.

    Captain Creitz' company, aided by Colonel Stevens, Daniel H. Horne, John
Ritchie and others, foraged upon the neighboring towns of Osawkie, Lecompton,
Indianola and Tecumseh, and took from the Pro-Slavery faction a considerable
quantity of provisions and ammunition. This continued for several weeks, until
supplies could be received in a regular and legitimate way. The Topeka company
marched to Bull Creek, under orders from Gen. James H. Lane, to repel a party of
Missourians, commanded by Capt. John Reid, who was leading the raid on
Osawatomie. After coming up to the raiders, General Lane decided that an attack
would not be wise, and the troops fell back to Lawrence. Here the Topeka men
learned that Colonel Cooke had been ordered by Secretary Woodson to take
possession of the town of Topeka, and disarm the insurrectionists who were
defying the laws enacted by the Pro-Slavery Legislature. The company returned at
once to Topeka, where assurance was given that Colonel Cooke would not execute
his orders.

HELPING A FREE-STATE CHAMPION.

    Many of the same men who were in Captain Creitz' company responded to the
call for help from General Lane when he attempted to leave the Territory in the
fall of 1856, by what was known as the "Kansas Emigrant Route," between Topeka
and Nebraska City, a distance of 140 miles. When Lane reached Osawkie, September
nth, he feared that he would be intercepted by a large force of Pro-Slavery men,
known to be in that vicinity. The Topekans to the number of 50 went to his
assistance, under command of Colonel Whipple, arriving at Osawkie on the morning
of September 12th. About this time there was another outbreak at Hickory Point,
in which a soldier named Newball was killed, and General Lane repaired to the
scene of the conflict, accompanied by some of his men, with Col. John Ritchie as
chief of his staff. Finding no serious trouble, the General returned to Osawkie,
and, upon receipt of Governor Geary's proclamation ordering all armed forces to
disband, gave up the idea of further resistance, and sent the Topeka company home.

    On the 18th of September, United States Marshal Donaldson, under direction
of Governor Geary, arrested several of the members of the Topeka company for
participating in the fight at Hickory Point, where Newball was killed, and for
rebellion against the laws of the Territory. Among the persons arrested were
Robert L. Mitchell, John Ritchie, J. E. Rastall, J. H. Kagi and Charles A.
Sexton. They were imprisoned at Lecompton, some of them being afterwards
transferred to Tecumseh. Sexton established an alibi and was released. The
others escaped or were pardoned. Ritchie and Rastall absented themselves from
the Territory for a time, to escape prosecution. Kagi was released on bond, but
continued his efforts in behalf of the Free-State cause, and finally followed
John Brown to Harper's Ferry, where he was shot. Under an amnesty act passed by
the Legislature, February n, 1859, Ritchie and Rastall returned to Kansas. A
deputy U. S. marshal, Leonard Arms, attempted to arrest John Ritchie on a charge
of mail robbery, said to have been committed in 1856. Ritchie resisted, standing
in his own doorway, and fired upon the officer as he approached, after repeated
warnings, killing him instantly. This happened April 20, 1860. Ritchie
surrendered to Justice Joseph C. Miller, was tried the next day and acquitted,
one of his counsel being Gen. James H. Lane.

THE CIVIL WAR.

    During the Civil War of 1861-65, several companies were organized in Shawnee
County for the defense of the Union and the further protection of the State from
invasion by Missouri guerillas, and there were many individual enlistments in
