J. Ikuta,
Jeweler and Optician,
: A Kansas Feud
[Original.}
During Uio border rutliau days iu
bleeding Kansas uiv i'atlier was one of
those rushing in to settle the question
whether the state should l>e slave or
live territory. We were from the
uorth? father, mother, sister aud I. My
father had met with reverses lu busi
ness and had beeu persuaded to at
tempt to recoup iu the new region, of
which much was expected. I believe,
though 1 am u<A certain, that our ex
penses w ere paid liv abolitionists.
We liad a farm between Topeka and
Lecompton, on the Kansas river. How
we got it 1 dou't know
One evening about sunset I was
driving the cows in when 1 saw my
father gallopiug toward the house. Iu
another moment a nuiu shot out from
behind the trees, and I heard my fa
ther call to my mother to get his rifle,
quick. She ran into the house and in
a moment was back with It, but Just
as she bunded it to him there were sev
eral shots in ipiiek succession, and
mother aud father both fell. By this
time 1 was appalled at my own danger
aud hid iu the long grass. The man
came up and looked at the bodies. Then
his attention was arrested by uiy little
sister, three years old. who was stand
ing in the doorway, too young to un
derstand what had happened. Then
another man came riding out of the
woods and the two talked together. I
heard them say that father and mother
were both dead and there were two
less abolition squatters Iu Kansas.
They were In a quandary as to what
to do with my sister, but finally con
cluded to leave her where she was.
This was equivalent almost to leaving
her to die. for they had uot seen me,
and the chances were few that any one
would come to the farm lu time to save
ber.
As soon as the men had gone I went
to the house and without stopping to
make any preparations took little Bes
sie. carried her to the river, a few hun
dred feet from the cabin, got out the
boat that we kept there In some bush
es, launched It, and. putting Bessie In,
we floated down the river. I was too
shocked and exhausted at first to row,
but as it was getting dark, fearing to
be out in the uight, 1 took up the oars
and pulled till I saw a settler's cabin
on the bank. The occupants were
southern people, but uot ruffians by
any means. Indeed, they gave us every
succor and sympathy. With them Bes
sie grew up to consider them her par
ents, and I felt as much attachment
for them asabe.
I was ofteu asked if I would recog
nize uiy parents' murderer and was
several times coufrouted with men to
identify him. but all 1 could say about
him was that he was very young, and
1 never saw any one who looked like
him. As the years passed the indis
tinct Images faded entirely from my
mind. Not so the incident. That re
mained as distinct as the day It oc
curred. As soon as I grew old enough
to handle a gun I spent hours in the
woods practicing at shootiug, prepar
ing for the day when I should meet the
murderer. 1 was boyish enough not to
doubt that I would surely do so.
When the civil war came on I was
seventeen years old. Having been
born of northern parents nnd brought
up by southerners, my Interest in the
struggle was neutralized. I thought of
entering the northern army, but only
In hopes of meeting tlie enemy I long
ed to meet. Itut the chances were not
sufficient even for my enthusiastic or,
rather, imaginative temper, and I put
off the day of enlistment.
One evening during the middle of the
war 1 was at a hotel In Independence,
Mo., and stepped into the barroom to
get a cigar. A nuiniier of southern
sympathizers were there, men who had
taken part In the "border ruffian" war.
talking over their ex|ieriences. One of
the uuiuber. a man about thirty, told
the story about which my life revolved.
His only qualms of conscience were
having left a little child to die uncared
for, but he even cracked a joke about
this.
The meeting Willi my enemy was the
happiest moment of my life. I was de
bating how 1 would deal with him
when he turned and. seeing me stand
ing apart, asked me to drink.
"Thanks," I said, "I never drink with
murderers!"
Of course I had my revolver ready
before 1 threw down the gauntlet, and
he was obliged to temporize.
"Yer mighty pertlcular," he said.
"Not with whom 1 light."
"And when do you want to fight?"
"Now."
We agreed to ^-o out into tlie street
ami take positions at opposite ends of
the block, ttieu advance and shoot as
soon as we saw each other. I could
have killed him where we wore, but If
I had doue so his friends would have
killed me. .lust before going out I
went near liiui and said in a low tone,
"I'm the sou of the people you murder
ed and the brother of tbe little girl
you left to die on the farm."
He paled, and 1 knew his nerve was
gone. As we went to our respective <
positions 1 turned every few moments <
to make sure he didn't try to get[<
away. Wlien at last I saw him stand- j
lug on his corner 1 felt that my re- j
venge had come. At a given signal we (
advanced slowly. The street not be- !
lug very well lighted, we could not (
have distinguished each other if there J
had been any one else on the sidewalk, v
My eyes were remarkably farslghted S
and I saw him distinctly. From his (
movements I judged that he could S
not clearly make me out. Since I had C
left him rattled, and believing that his '
rlsion was Inferior to mine, I resolved
not to hurry. When we got within "
shooting distance he fired. His bullet
grazed ir.r rhnuMr-. I p'i!!?d my trig
re r and he fi ll dead.
