HISTORY OF MONROE COUNTY.
This, of course, satisfied the Committee of Smith's sincerity, and the two Hulls were arrested and prosecuted before a Magistrate, who held them in bonds of $1,600 each to appear and answer at court.
At the November term following, they were indicted, charged with offenses as above related. Their cases were continued to the May term, 1867, at which time they obtained a change of venue to the District Court of Wapello County, which convened in two weeks afterward. Then their cases were continued to the November term, 1867.
The State appeared promptly for trial ; but owing to the various motions of the defendants for a continuance, the trial was kept back and delayed the first week of the term until Saturday afternoon, when a jury was impaneled to try John. The trial lasted into the third week, and a verdict of guilty was returned.
Hiram was then put on trial ; but, owing to the intricacies of the law, was acquitted. John was sent to the Penitentiary for five years, the utmost penalty of the law.
Two more thieves, Ross and Mann, were tried in the District Court, and sentenced-Mann to two years, and Ross to five, in the Penitentiary.
On the 21st of August, 1866, a great excitement was created in Albia by the escape of a notorious horse thief named Clay from the custody of Mr. Thayer, a member of the Vigilance Committee, who was bringing him into town. The Union gives the following account of it :
" This man Clay, who had probably been a bushwhacker and guerrilla in Missouri, and had been run out of that during the war, came to Albia two or three years ago, and while a resident of Albia figured conspicuously on the records of the criminal docket in connection with Jake Hull and others. Since his exodus from our midst, he has been operating largely among the gangs of horse thieves who have been infesting the country. A short time since, some members of this gang of thieves were arrested in this and adjoining counties by the Monroe County Vigilance Committee. One of these criminals started on a long journey from an elm tree, and the others were turned over to the officers of the law and are now in jail. In their confessions before the Vigi- lance Committee, it is presumed they implicated this Clay, and no doubt divulged his whereabouts. It is also supposed they gave information respect- ing two horses which were stolen from Mr. Thomas Foster, living about three miles west of Blakesburg.
" On Tuesday of last week, Mr. Foster, accompanied by Mr. Thayer, a neighbor of his, started in search of his horses, and also to arrest Clay, if found. They succeeded in finding and arresting Clay at Gallatin, Mo., and Mr. Thayer started to bring their prisoner to Albia, while Mr. Foster remained behind to search for his two stolen horses. The thief, Clay, was placed upon Mr. Foster's horse which he had ridden down in the search. Mr. Thayer had no trouble with his prisoner until on Monday morning, when they were within three miles of Albia, on the Centerville road, between Coal Creek and the house of Mr. Wills. At this time, Mr. Thayer and his prisoner, Clay, were alone-Clay riding Mr. Foster's horse, having his feet tied under the horse, but otherwise unconfined. At a bushy part of the road, two men sprang out from the bushes and handed Clay a pistol. Clay siezed the pistol, but instead of discharging it at Mr. Thayer, he struck him a stunning blow on the side of the face, which knocked him from his horse. Clay then turned his horse and made his escape. Mr. Thayer made his way to Albia and gave the alarm. In less than an hour twenty-five or thirty men, mostly members of the Vigilance Com-

mittee, were in their saddles and in hot pursuit, being two hours behind him at Osprey. Mr. Foster has been peculiarly unfortunate, as the horse Clay escaped with makes the third horse he loses."
So far as we can learn, the thieves were not brought to justice at the time of this outrage. Their ultimate history is not known, so far as the writer can ascertain.
The activity of the Vigilance Committee eventuated in the breaking up of the entire gang of horse thieves, although the trials before some of the regular tribunals did not fully satisfy the victims of the thieves. Hull was never punished. His case was taken to the Supreme Court on error, and there the defense secured an order for a new trial. That second trial was never had. The legal phase of the whole affair is somewhat clouded and difficult to trace out ; but upon one point there is no special mystery or secrecy-the depreda- tions ceased, and the Committee is still in existence. There is a small sum of money, we are informed, standing to the credit of the Committee on the books of a gentleman of Albia.
WAR RECORD.
If there is any one thing more than another of which the people of the Northern States have reason to be proud, it is of the record they made during the dark and bloody days when red-handed rebellion raised its hideous head and threatened the life of the nation. When the war was forced upon the country, the people were quietly pursuing the even tenor of their ways, doing whatever their hands found to do-working the mines, making farms or culti- vating those already made, erecting homes, founding cities and towns, building shops and manufactories-in short, the country was alive with industry and hopes for the future. The people were just recovering from the depression and losses incident to the financial panic of 1857. The future looked bright and promising, and the industrious and patriotic sons and daughters of the Free States were buoyant with hope, looking forward to the perfecting of new plans for the insurement of comfort and competence in their declining years ; they little heeded the mutterings and threatenings of treason's children in the Slave States of the South. True sons and descendants of the heroes of the "times that tried men's souls"-the struggle for American Independence-they never dreamed that there was even one so base as to dare attempt the destruction of the Union of their fathers-a goverment baptized with the best blood the world ever knew. While immediately surrounded with peace and tranquillity, they paid but little attention to the rumored plots and plans of those who lived and grew rich from the sweat and toil, blood and flesh, of others-aye, even trafficking in the offspring of their own loins. Nevertheless, the war came, with all its attendant horrors.
April 12, 1861, Fort Sumter, at Charleston, South Carolina, Maj. Ander- son, U. S. A., Commandant, was fired on by rebels in arms. Although basest treason, this first act in the bloody reality that followed was looked upon as the mere bravado of a few hot-heads-the act of a few fire-eaters whose sectional bias and hatred was crazed by the excessive indulgence in intoxicating pota- tions. When, a day later, the news was borne along the telegraph wires that Maj. Anderson had been forced to surrender to what had first been regarded as a drunken mob, the patriotic people of the North were startled from their dreams of the future, from undertakings half completed, and made to realize that behind that mob there was a dark, deep and well-organized purpose to destroy
421
HISTORY OF MONROE COUNTY.
the government, rend the Union in twain, and out of its ruins erect a slave oligarchy, wherein no one would dare to question their right to hold in bondage the sons and daughters of men whose skins were black, or who, perchance, through practices of lustful natures, were half or quarter removed from the color that God, for his own purposes, had given them. But they "reckoned without their host." Their dreams of the future, their plans for the establish- ment of an independent confederacy, were doomed from their inception to sad and bitter disappointment.
When the Southern rebels fired upon Fort Sumter, it found this vast North unarmed, untrained in the artof war, and in a state of such profound peace as to warrant the belief that hostilities could not be begun by those who had, since the foundation of this Union, boasted loudly of their loyalty to the Constitution of the United States. The rumors of disaffection that had alarmed the more watchful, had aroused but trifling fears in the breasts of the great mass of Northern citizens. War between the States had, prior to that time, been deemned an impossibility. The sentiments of fraternal unity were so deep-abiding in the hearts of the North that treason was regarded as an improbable crime, and overt acts of antagonism to the government too base in their intent to be worthy of serious consideration.
But the hand of the aged Ruffian, as he laid the blazing torch upon the gun within Stevens' battery, lighted a flame which spread throughout the land with electric rapidity, and illumined the nation with a glare that revealed the truth of rebel threats. The boom of that first gun awakened the passive people to the dread reality of their position. From Maine to Oregon, from Superior to the Ohio, the country arose, as with a single impulse, to respond to the demands of the hour. There was no need of prompting them, no need of canvassing for strength, no hesitating as to measures, no thought of compromise. But one course could be pursued, and that the people comprehended as though inspired by some higher mentor. The Union must be preserved. Each individual member of society felt the urgent necessity of prompt and concerted action. Towns did not wait to hear tidings from sister towns; each heard in the roar of brave old Sumter's guns a summons direct, imperative and irresistible, for aid in the defense of the nation's honor. Rivals in business and in politics grasped each other's hands and hurried forth, side by side, rivals no longer, save in their eagerness to enroll first their names upon the list of citizen- soldiery.
Almost simultaneous with the news of the attack upon Sumter, came the call from President Lincoln for troops. In the remote towns and rural locali- ties, where telegraphic communication had not then penctrated, the appeal and the response were recorded at the sametime.
On the 15th of April, the President issued his call for 75,000 ninety-days troops. The State of Iowa was peculiarly fortunate in having as its Chief Executive Samuel J. Kirkwood, whose loyalty and unceasing devotion to the cause of the Union have embalmed his name forever in the annals of the State. Within thirty days after the President's demand was made public, Iowa had a regiment in the field.
If it was within the province of this work to relate the story of Monroe's loyalty, the limits of this volume would be extended far beyond those anticipated by the publishers. Some future historian, we have no doubt, will find a fruit- ful topic in this record of war, and lay before the people of this county a narra- tive of unsurpassed interest. Surely the opportunity exists and awaits the patient labors of a competent writer.

HISTORY OF MONROE COUNTY
It is impossible here to relate more than the incidents peculiarly local in their character, to give a summary of the movements of the several regiments in which Monroe County men were enrolled in the field, and to preserve the roster of those who formed the host which went forth to battle for the Union from the various townships within the limits of the county.
When the news was received in Albia, the town was wild with excitement. A meeting was held at the Court House, and patriotic resolutions were adopted. A company of cavalry was raised early in May. Daniel Anderson, Captain ; A. A. Ramsey, First Lieutenant ; Riley Wescoatt, Second Lieutenant ; J. M. Richardson, Third Lieutenant; E. R. Rockwell, Orderly Sergeant ; A. T. Phil- lips, Musician. The company consisted of 86 men all told.
Monroe County was so near the Missouri line that, naturally, a strong feel- ing for and against the war soon sprang up. The people resident in the county were loyal ; but transient persons were constantly passing through who kept the sentiment of all at fever heat. The Albia newspapers fought vigorously for the good of their country.
Herewith is given a roster of the companies and parts of companies, from Monroe County :
