the Governor of the State, as being more
likely to succeed, and having a tendency
to make a deeper impression, upon such
evil disposed Persons, and that if they
go into another State after the suspicious

of their business will be likely to ensure suc-
-cess.

Ihave to request your ordering
out two or four mounted militia to join
M^r Kain & Owens as it may be proper for
them to take a different routs.

I have also offered a reward
of one hundred dollars (after deducting the
expenses) for apprehending and bringing to
justice the perpetrators of the act, and the
mounted militia you shall order will pay
from the United States Treasury -

Iam your excellencys
most obd^t
Hum serv^t
