In a sharply worded piece, Lawrence residents mock Gov. Walker's march on Lawrence to suppress rebellion tied to a city charter, labeling the move as ill advised and politically motivated.

Death of Finch and Lynching Echoes in Cedar County

The piece recounts a lynching in which Kelso and a companion are hanged after a vigilante vote. Finch, a young man and son of a church deacon, watched, voted death for the culprits, and later hanged himself after his mother warned him against taking life. The narrative shifts to ongoing frontier tensions with Sioux hostilities and government actions, including troop movements and fiscal notes.
