So far there had been no collision between the opposing forces. Late in November, however, the opportunity was presented for a blow at Lawrence, the chief free- State settlement, by the rescue of a free-State prisoner from the hands of a pro-slavery sheriff. Appealing first to Missouri for aid, then to the pro- slavery Governor of the Territory, the sheriff raised an army of some twelve hundred men, with which Lawrence was besieged. This constitutes the so-called "Wakarusa War," which came to a...n end December 7, 1855, with the loss of one life. The Missourians were obliged to leave the Territory; and the substance of victory remained with the men of Lawrence. ^ Rhodes, History of the United States, II, p. loi. 230 LIFE OF GEORGE R. SMITH The alarm which these events excited in the minds of conservative men in Missouri, and the wild talk indulged in by the more radical and irresponsible of the "border ruffians," are indicated in a letter to General Smith from Brinksly Hornsby, who resided near Independence, in the extreme Western part of the State.
