Fort MCKINNEY, [Correspondence of death of George Anderson, recently, o prominent and influential eitizen of Chicago, recalls an interesting ante- bellum incident connected with Ne- braska, in which My, Anderson was a prominent actor. Samuel F. Knuckolls, long afterwards delegate to cong from Wyoming from 1856 to 1860, lived at or near Nebraska City, He was a pro-slavery man in those days and sym- pathized with the border ruffians as the pro-slavery men were then called, It was charged that Knuckolls, who a very able and energetic man, did not confine himself to sympathy alone, but gave the pro-slavery men material aid and oceasionally took a hand himself in the stirring scenes of the border.

From Tabor sent north by the underground railwa as it was called. The negro was taken all the way to Cincinnati and turned over to Levi Coftin, the noted anti- slavery leader.

It was a famous case and lasted long, but the nigger, or rather the doctor, at last gained it, and licking t nigger cost Sam Knuckolls, first and last, over $1,600. It was the “worst investment,” Sam used to say, he ever made. Sam gave the boy $1,000 in cash, and a pair of mules, harnessand sarvinge for his judgment. Then he cursed Towa and _ its abolition- ists and crossed over to Nebraska again. Soon after this a party of old John Brown’s men led by Ienry Kuzi, who was afterwards killed at Harper's Ferry, took the megro and Knuckoll’s carriage and mules, and crossed over the Missouri to Nebraska ty, for the purpose of making a on Knuckolls and running off the rest of his niggers.
