STOP THE RUNAWAY
RAN AWAY from the subscriber, about the middle of last month, a dark
mulatto man named ISAAC, about 20 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches in
height, branded, with the letter C on one cheek, and with an S on the
other, and cropped. Had with him two dogs, one a black and the other a
brindle, and has been heard of since he ran away, on the Saline. A
reasonable reward will be paid for apprehending said runaway, and
returning him to me, living on the Little Missouri on the lower road, in
Hempstead County, or securing him in any jail, and giving me information
so that I can get him again.

FATAL DUEL --- We learn from a gentleman direct from St. Louis, that
a
duel was fought on Monday last, near this place, between Mr. Thomas
Rector and Joshua Barton, Esq. - United States Attorney for the Missouri
district, which result in the death of the latter gentleman. It is
stated that
Mr. Barton received his antagonist's ball to the breast, and expired in
about
a minute. We understand that a publication in the Missouri Republican,
signed Philo, arraigning the Office conduct of William Rector, surveyor
of
the public lands in the states of Illinois and Missouri and Territory of
Arkansas,
gave rise to this horrid affair. We forbear to comment until we hear the
particulars, when we shall treat the subject as we may think it
deserves. [Patriot]
