They fired several shots in return but they fell short. One of their men was seen to fall near Mr. Hanscom's fence. They put spurs to their horses and galloped towards Franklin. " This ended the contest for the day. But this was only the advance sent ahead to feel the way. The army was behind and was coming. The spirited manner in which the advance was met probably kept them from attacking in force that day. If they had done so they could easily have captured the town.

He immediately sent Colonel Johnson with a force of artillery and cavalry to Lawrence. They arrived during the 132 A HISTORY OF LAWRENCE night, and posted their cannon on Mount Oread, while the dragoons took their place south of town.
