Daily Times [Leavenworth , KS], July 13, 1860
We learn that a process has been issued by the Mayor of Weston, in order to get possession of this relic of the Kansas troubles. The officer is in town, but has done nothing as yet. We decidedly object to this proceeding. The old gun is one of the legitimate trophies of war. If the Missourians desired to retain their artillery, they should have remained at home with it, instead of interfering with our affairs. “To the victors belong the spoils.”
P.S.—Since the above was written, we are informed that an attempt was made to get possession of the cannon, which was resisted on the ground that it was not the original gun which was taken from the Kickapoo Rangers. We believe it is now in charge of Capt. Dickson, who holds it for the German Turners.
