The name of the man killed was never positivelv or definitely ascer- tained. He was known in Price's gang as " Bully " and "Chuffy," and by other euphonistic appellations. It is said by some that his real name was McCabe, and that he was quite a noted character. He was buried at Hamburg and the funeral was not very largely attended. There was talk of lynching the wounded jayhawker, whose name was Sam Lowry, but Mr. Cowles, his captor, would not permit such a proceeding and he was turned over to the civil authorities and placed in the Sidney jail. Not long thereafter his sister, Betty Lowry, a fair but frail young woman, made her appearance in Sidney and soon thereafter Sam Lowry escaped. Honi soit qui mal y pense.
The Lowry family was one of very unsavory repute. Two of its mem- bers have been mentioned and a third, " Alic " Lowry, was put under the ice of the Missouri river by the vigilants of Nebraska City, a few days after the capture of his brother Sam. Warren Price was killed in St. Joseph the next spring by a federal soldier on sentinel duty. Nearly every member of the band " died with his boots on " eventually. All of the horses taken at the time of the raid on McKissick's grove were recovered. In October, 1863, a band of confederate rough-riders from Missouri, led by Captain George Todd, one of the lieutenants of Quantrell, of infamous memory, invaded the county and passed through the southern part thereof on their way to Nebraska for purposes known best to themselves. These men were utterly reckless, depraved, and abandoned, but they were accu- rate pistol shots, nevertheless, and delighted in practicing with their favor- ite weapon, the revolver. Every man could shoot a sparrow on the wing at fifty yards. Upon their appearance in the county, word was sent to Sidney, and the provost marshal of the county, Felix R. Van Eaton, calling to his assistance Capt. Hoyt, who, with his company of state mili- tia, was stationed at the county seat, followed them, intending their cap-

ture. Coming upon the guerrillas a few miles east of the Missouri river, Van Eaton's men were met by a fire from their enemies as destructive as it was sudden. Van Eaton was shot through the head and instantly killed and one of his men badly wounded. The expedition was a total failure. The guerrillas escaped unharmed. Fuller particulars of this affair are given on other pages of this history.
THE AFFAIR AT JOHN COOPER'S.
Some time in the fall of 1863 a raid was made upon the premises of Mr. John Cooper, presumably by members of Price's band. Mr. Cooper, assisted by a few of his neighbors, gave the jayhawkers a warm recep- tion, and they retreated in great precipitation. The next day a man died at Peru and his friends stated that he had been shot the evening before in a quarrel at Hamburg! There were plenty of blood-stains around the premises of Mr. Cooper and the reader can form his own opinion.
MURDER OF THOS. RHODES.
About the 15th of October, 1864, a Mr. Rhodes, living in Franklin township, had a valuable horse stolen. The next day he sent his son Thomas, aged about thirty, and married, in search of the animal. He went into the neighborhood of McKissick's grove, to watch the move- ments of certain persons of whom he was suspicious, and remained until in the evening. Observing two men leaving the grove on horseback, Mr. Rhodes followed them. He soon overtook and passed them. They said they stopped at Mr. John Cooper's. Rhodes went on to the residence of Giles Cowles and, calling up that gentleman, stated to him the circum- stances and his belief that the men he had left on their way to Cooper's were they who had taken his father's horse. The two men started for Cooper's on horseback. They had gone but a short distance when they met the very men they were king. As they came up to them the one in front, a fellow named Dick Junn, suddenly drew a large cavalry pistol ยท and presenting it full in the face of Cowles, with an obscene epithet, ordered him to "halt," or he would " blow his - heart out." But sud- denly discovering Rhodes, who had dropped a few paces in the rear of Cowles, the guerrilla exclaimed, "You're the - I'm after; you've been following me to-night," pointed his pistol at Rhodes and fired. Rhodes returned the fire from a small pistol, but the shot was ineffectual and did no damage. Dunn and his companion then galloped away, followed by shots from Cowles' pistol. Mr. Rhodes was taken to the house of Mr. Orin Cowles, a short distance away and cared for as well as possible. His wound-in the breast-was not thought to be dangerous at first, but it proved fatal in a few days.
485
HISTORY OF FREMONT COUNTY.
Dunn was captured at Maryville, Missouri, a few days thereafter, brought to Hamburg, tried by a court martial, convicted and sentenced to be shot, which sentence was carried out in a few hours. On his trial Dunn admitted that he had shot Rhodes, but denied that he had stolen the horse. As the villian ought to die so died Dick Dunn, the murderer, land pirate and outlaw.
There is no mistaking the fact that the Madison township company did effective service in keeping raiders, jawhawkers, and bushwhackers out of Fremont county. The guerrillas of Missouri and the thieves of Kan- sas and Nebraska, while coveting its fine horses and the money and other property of its citizens, did not care to pay the price they would be com- pelled to pay to obtain them, and so gave the county a wide berth.
There was a very unpleasant condition of affairs in different parts of the county at times during the rebellion by reason of the hot-tempered and impassionate discussion of politics. With some extreme republicans every democrat was a "copperhead"-a sympathizer with and aider and abetter of the south. With some democrats every republican was a per- son wishing to destroy civil liberty, overthrow constitutional government, and enforce republican measures at the point of the bayonet. Bad blood was engendered-and a little of that fluid shed at times in fistic engage- ments. The people were all right if they had only realized it. But those were war times, and everybody was excited. Happily, all of these things passed away with the dawning of peace, and are scarcely thought of now and should be remembered no more forever.
