The subscription-paner (which 1s In my posses- sion) reads. as follows: “Wor tho purpose of ork ting nmonument to the memory of Fred- erick Brown, David Garrison, George Partridge, and William Powers, who fell at the Battle of Osawatomle, Kansas, on tho 80th day of Augist, A.D. 186, martyre tothe cause of freedom,” Tho name of old Capt. John Brown docs not appear on the subscription-lst. After the coatract for the monument was made, the manufacturer suggested that he would, cut an fnscription on the monument “without extra charge; the Committee consent- ed to the suggestion, and the following was added: “This inscription ts also 1u commemora- tlon of Capt. John Brown, who commanded at the battle of Osawatomle, Aug, 5¥, 1850; who dled and conquercd American elavery on tho scaffold at Charlestown, Va., Dec. 2, 1859.7" It ta doubtlesa from this Yoseription, on the north side of tho monument, which bas orlzin- uted the mistake In naming tt “John Brown's Monument.” It isa misuoner, T have deomed It necessary to make this state- ment, as many have remarked that o more cost- ly tribute to the meinory of Jonn Brown ought to have been erected. = 4 ‘This celebration Wasa grand rettnion of tho otd settlers of 155-'85.

Montgomery, and others were living actors. "The Village of Osawatomnte has connected with its brief history many historical incidents. ‘The village ts located tn ‘about the centre of what Was once a Government reservation, which was sct apart for the purpose of domesticating the Indlaus. A zealous misktonary concelvod ithe benevolent project of mapping out a tract ofland ten miles square for. the purposu of ‘uniting together the various Indian tribes which were located ou tho eastern Ino of the Territo- ry of Kansas, Tha Government granted the request, but, Ilke similar efforts, tho wid, no- maite life of the Indian could not be induced to necett tho offer, and the project was aban- joncd. In the sring of 1850 "n newspaper press was landed on the town site of Osawatomle, but the troubles which tool place preveuted the issuing ofasingla copy. On the 7th day of June, 1850, the pillage wad sacked and pilluged by 9 party of Missourians, conaisting of 120 meni This was a vart of the force which Whitiled, our dele~ ato to Congress, had collected together to res- cue Capt. Pate, whom John Brown had taken prisoner at the Black Jack tight. It was the J0th day of ‘August which gave this villagg Its extensivo renown. It was this ocension which gavo John Brown the ‘name of “Qsawatomle Brown.” The Agent of tho Massuchuactts Ald Society was O. C. Brown, heuce the distinction becaine moro Teroasaey It Is not, perhaps, generally known outslde of Kansas how the term “Jaybawker’ came into existence, {t has become of such common use that It is destined to (iad a place in the next edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, T gathered the facts soon after It was coined from arealdence of the village. In the autamn of } during the troubles which existed throug out Kansas, one morning, hetore the aun was up, an individual by the name of Pat Devlin was neon entering the Vilage of Osawatomie, He was riding a horse, or mule, and loaded down with no inconsiicrable amount of articics of various character which entirely covered his breast, A neighbor met hint and accosted him ina familar manser: “Pat, you look as if you had been ont on un excureton,’’ + Yea"? raid Pat. “£ have been out Jayhawking,'’ Not fully underatanding the meaning of the term “dayhawking,” he inquired of Pat what he meant. Vat, who was a bold Free State Irish- man, replied that he bad been foraging off the enemy, meaning tha Pro-Slavery party Ile then, like a. true lextcographer, exp! ined the meaning of the work *Jayhawker.” He sald that tn Ireland there was a bird called Jas kawk, ‘which worrted ita prey befure devouring Ite From this little Incident the famitiar term of Jayhawker originated. It was applied by the Pro-Slayery party to the well-organized vom- any of Free State men, under Cupt, James Mongotery, tn the Countiesof Linn and Bour- bon, They adopted tt, and were generally known by that name. Asan illustration that the name 1s not regarded as one of reproach, I may remark that one of the band-wagons from Liun Counts, which attended the celebration of the BWth, had the word “dayhawkera” painted in large fetters on the foregate of the wagon. Mr. John James Ingalls {n0y Senator) in the April number, 1873. of the Nansas Uagaziue, gave an interesting article on the “ Last of the Javhawkers.” He was killed on the banks of tha Potawatomie, about three-quarters of a mile south of tle Village of Osawatomic, by a soldier who was in search for tin, Fat Derlin was latled (nn drunken spree in the year '69, In ‘Aurora, Colorady, I kuew them: voth; they differed widely in thelr personal appearance; they were both of a reckless, daring disposition, and so long ne the common eneiny was in the sold, they did considerable service for the Free- State cause.
