Before this i happening, we would not have supposed that Platte county contained within its borders creatures of this kind. It goes with the saying that all who have known I Allen Gerrard for years can readily be- ! lieve that if he had ben present with good weapons, somebody would have been hurt, and farther, that this species of opposition but operates as as in centive to such men as Allen. The deed must receive the denuncia tion of all right-minded citizens, be cause if the expression cf opinion on public matters is to be met by a club instead of by argument, the sooner the new basis is authoritatively proclaimed, the better it will be all around.
