Monitor, Tuesday. LEAVENWORTH. Two car loads of emigrant goods went out on the Kansas Pacific railway The present police force of the city is acquitting itself handsomely and promises to be one of the best the city has ever known. An old man from Ottumwa, Iowa, was in the city yesterday, looking for his two young girls who ran away fiom home some time ago, and whom he had traced along the Rock Island road to this place. He could find no trace of them after their arrival here.

It was the old story. A little five-year-old girl, daughter of Jerry Brown, a day laborer living in the northern part of the city, was yesteidiy playing near an old shed in which a sow was lying with a young lifter of pigs. Suddenly seeming to think the girl getting too near her offsprings, the sow sprang upon her, threw her down and commenced to attack her with her tusks. Fortunately a boy about fifteen years old, Wm. Fortune, was passing near at hand and he at once seized a boatd and drove off the savage beast, not, however, until the little girl had been severely bitten.

Had relief not arrived just as it did, the sow would undoubtedly have killed the child. Mrs. Brown, her mother, attracted by the screaming of the little one, was so horrified when she saw her at the mercy of the furious brute that she fainted, and the boy did double duty by dashing cold water into her face to resuscitate ISILVER-PLATED KNIVES, FORKS AND SPOONS, At Lower Prices than any other House In Kansas.

It, would be well, perhaps, to call a meeting to take into consideration this Kansas people will, we have no doubt, dp all in their power to. relieve the necesities of these unfortunate people, but the problem, what, to do with them, is getting to be too big for the cit-zens; of Kansas to handle. And we again call upon the State Central Relief Committee to adopt some measure that will make. these facts plain; to the colored people of the South. FAUX, 2X0SFBT.
