To the Editor of The Evening Star: His name was William Clark Quantrell and not Charles William Quantrell, ashas been fre- quently stated. He was born in Canal Dover, Ohio. in 1837. When sixteen years of age he taught school in his native town. He went to Kansas in 1857; taught school in Lawrence, Kan., in 1859 and 1860; lived with a family by the name of Torry. In the spring of 1861 he organizec his famous guerilla band of abou two hundred. In March, 1862, Gen. Halleck issued # proclamation declaring Quantrell and Bis band outlaws. ‘The writer of this while s scout in the Union army went into Quantrell’s camp at Kose Hill, Mo.. and while there handed Quautrell a copy of Gen. Halleck’s order. After Teading it Quantrell wrote across the face of the order these words: “For every man of mine you kill I will kill twenty of your d— Yankees,” and returned it to Halleck. “The writer of this saw the identical paper at Gen. Halleck’s head- quarters in 1863. In the fall of 1863 Quantrell made his raid into Lawrence, Kan., where he had lived prior to the war. In the spring of 1865 he left Missouri and went to Kentucky and on May 10, 1965, ut Wakefield's barn, Spencer county, Ky., was mortally wounded.’ He died in the United States military hospital at Louis- NEW COPYRIGHT Law.

You can go back for six months.” ae eg The Athletic Exhibition. ‘The athletic exhibition at the Columbia Club has been postponed until Saturday evening, January 10. ae The Y. M.C.

When that statement was made Thomas Ewing, adistant relative of Mr. Bateman, was presi- dent, Charles B.

Bateman made another trip to London and made known the attitude of the three millionaire Senators and their friends. In fact, it is said that Mr. Bateman told Mr. Ryder that he did not believe he could longer rely on support from the three Senators unless the Englishmen came up with more cash. Mr. Ryder intereed his relative, R. M. 8. Wortley of Newgaas & Co. London. At # meeting in Mr. Bateman's New York office on Decem 11 last Mr. Wortley was elected president of the company in place of Mr. Ewing, and he also took the place of treasurer in. place of Mr. Bateman. There were other changes in the board of directors at the time, but the chief interest was in the elevation of Mr. Wortley to the two important places he now holds in the company. ~ * ‘There will probably be two versions if litiga- tion eieys ob ihe ef fect of = ie upon the conditional agreement with the Sena- tors.
