$100 REWARD
I WILL give the above reward for the delivery of PATRICK SOYE to me at
Miller Court House, Arkansas Territory. Patrick Soye was taken up in
Miller County, with two other men, to wit: French Strother, and John
Brewer, and was taken before two Justices of the Peace. Strother was set
at liberty by the court, and made good his escape to the province of
Texas. Soye and Brewer were committed to the jail of Miller County. Soye
confessed that there were three men who broke jail at St. Louis, on the
night of the 26th of September last. Soye made his escape from the
deputy Sheriff of Miller, on the night of the 9th inst., left his horse,
took a canoe and put off down the river. There is no doubt, and it is
believed that the people, who were guarding him that night, assisted
Soye in making his escape. He will make for the province of Texas, as he
was often heard to say, that was the place he was aiming to go to. Soye
is a man about 35 years of age, rather dark hair, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches
high, stout built, blue eyes, marked with small pox, fond of drink, and
when drunk, inclined to be very quarrelsome, of a turbulent temper, and
an Irishman.
Brewer, I sent to St. Louis, a few days since by Mr. James Hanks, who I
believe, will take him safe.
Given under my hand, at Miller Court House, this 23d day of December
1826.

$150 REWARD
STOP THE VILLAIN!!!!
On the 1st day of last November, I employed a young man as an overseer,
who called himself WILLIAM M. ABRAMS, and who stated that his parents
lived near Fort Cumberland in the state of Maryland, and that he had
lived for the last two years in the State of Ohio; that in the spring of
the present year he went to New-Orleans to work at the Hat?er's
business, but in consequence of ill health, was advised to return to
Ohio or Kentucky in order to recover his health.
On the night of the 30th November, my two Negro Boys, HENRY & JERRY,
made their escape from my house without any known provocation.
Henry is a black boy, about 19 years of age; heavy and awkwardly made;
round shouldered; has a down look when spoken to; about 5 feet 9 or 10
inches high, and quite thick lips. He took with him a pair of yellow
jeans pantaloons, and a pair of striped twilled cotton ones; a blue
cloth coat; two cotton shirts, a black fur hat about half worn; a new
pair of coarse shoes, with a number of tacks in the bottom, and a pair
of white woolen socks.
Jerry is a Yellow Boy, about 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, and has a down
look when spoken to; he is about 17 years of age, and awkward in his
deportment. He took with him a pair of pantaloons of yellow jeans, and a
pair of black cloth ones; a superfine blue cloth coat, about half worn;
a cotton shirt; a black fur hat, about half worn; a pair of new shoes
similar to Henry's; and a pair of new coarse white socks. They also took
a pair of new boots, and a blue cloth frock coat, belonging to the
subscriber.
On Friday night the 1st of December, ABRAMS made his elopement (whilst
the subscriber was in search of the negroes) and there is reason to
believe, that he has decoyed them off; he may take them to a free state;
but as there seems to be no inducement for him to do so, it is thought
much more probable that he will attempt to take them to the south and
there dispose of them.
William M. Abrams is about 24 or 25 years of age, dark skin, and rather
sallow complexion, dark auburn hair; about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high;
blue eyes; rather handsome, and possessed of a modest, unassuming and
prepossessing appearance. He was seen with a large roll of U.S. Bank
Notes, which probably were either counterfeit, or obtained by some
unlawful means. It is supposed that he is connected with a band of
counterfeiters, horse thieves, or mail robbers. He will no doubt change
his name (if Abrams be his real name) and assume some other. The
interest of society require that so accomplished a villain should be
detected, and it is hoped that persons on the Southern route will be
vigilant.
I will give a reward of $100 for the apprehension and confinement in
jail, of the two Negroes, and a reward of $50 for Abrams alone, if
apprehended with them.

UNPLEASANT NEWS - By gentlemen from the
southern counties, we learn that very unfavorable news has just been
received from a party, consisting of about 20 persons, who some time
since went into Hempstead County, on a trading adventure with the
Indians to Texas. It appears that, at the distance of 250 or 300 miles
from the settlements, they were surrounded by a large party of Camanche
Indians, and they had been besieged by them for 15 days when the Indian
runner, who brought the news, and who got out in the night, left them.
There had been considerable fighting between the two parties in which
several Indians were killed, but none of the whites had been killed. The
whites were protected by a fort which they had erected for their
protection, had plenty of ammunition, and sufficient provisions to
enable them to stand a siege of three weeks longer.
This news has produced great excitement in Hempstead and Miller counties
- volunteers were collecting from every quarter with great activity -
and it was expected that a force of 150 to 200 men would march to the
relief of the party. We also understand, that a gentleman from Hempstead
county, had gone to Cantonment Towson, to solicit assistance from that
post.
It was stated some time ago, that the authorities of Texas had
prohibited, under heavy penalties, all citizens of the United States,
from trading or having any intercourse with the Indians in that country,
and it is now reported in the southern counties, that the same
authorities have offered a reward of $1000 per head for every person who
shall be found
Transgressing that prohibition, and that several armed parties have been
dispatched in different directions to intercede and apprehend all
offenders. Among others, it is mentioned that a party has been sent from
Austin's settlement, and that another was out, headed by Dick Fields, a
noted Cherokee Indian who some time since seceded from the nation on the
Arkansas, and, with a large party of followers, settled south of Red
River. |

It was made to resemble as nearly as possible, the Boat (or gig) in
which the gallant Perry left his sinking ship at the battle of Lake
Erie; painted black, and elevated on carriage wheels; - on the stern,
appeared the name of the flag ship, "Lawrence," with 13 stars over it,
and upon the prow, standing on a globe was a gilt spread Eagle; above
this, was a Canopy, supported by four ornamental pillars, the whole
covered with black velvet, &c. with rich fringe, and with twenty-four
golden stars representing the several States, around the top, surmounted
