Webb Wilder relates in his "annals
of Kansas" that in 1854, when the first
tide of New England settlers began to
drift hithorward, tho Missourians tied
a cow at each crossing of tho Missouri
river. Whon an immigrant arrived at
tho crossing ho was certain to make
someromark about tho animal, and If
ho said "cow" ho was allowod to cross,
but if he said "keow" he was hustled
back east and out of the country as a
bloody minded abolitionist. In re
taliation for this it is said tho Kansas
follows tiod a bear on their side of tho
river, and when an immigrant crossed
who called it "bear" he wa's welcomed
with open arms, but the fellow who
called it "bar" was scooted back into
Missouri as an unwelcome slavery ad
vocate. Clay Center Timos,
