_A desperate fight_ between a party of four fugitives and
about double the number of whites, took place in Carroll
County, Maryland. Four white men shot--none dangerously. Two
of the slaves wounded, one severely. They were captured.

_Washington, Indiana._ In April, 1853, GEORGE, a negro man,
was arrested and claimed by a Mr. Rice, of Kentucky, as his
slave. Judge Clemens ordered his surrender to Rice, who took
him to Louisville, and there sold him to a slave-trader, who
took him to Memphis, Tennessee. Here a man from Mississippi
claimed that George was _his_ slave, obtained a writ of
replevin, and took possession of him.

JOSHUA GLOVER, colored man, claimed as the slave of B.S.
Garland, of St. Louis County, Missouri, was arrested near
Racine, Wisconsin, about the 10th of March, 1854. Arrest made
by five men, who burst suddenly into his shanty, put a pistol
to his head, felled him to the ground, handcuffed him, and
took him in a wagon to Milwaukee jail, a distance of
twenty-five miles. They swore that if he shouted or made the
least noise, they would kill him instantly. When visited,
says the _Milwaukee Sentinel_, "We found him in his cell. He
was cut in two places on the head; the front of his shirt and
vest were soaking and stiff with his own blood." A writ of
_habeas corpus_ was immediately issued; also a warrant for
the arrest of the five men who assaulted and beat him in his
shanty. Thousands of people collected around the jail and
court-house, "the excitement being intense." A vigilance
committee of twenty-five persons was appointed to watch the
jail at night and see that Glover was not secretly taken
away. The next day, at about five o'clock, P.M., a
considerable accession of persons being made to the crowd,
and it appearing that every attempt to save Glover by the
laws of Wisconsin had been overruled by United States Judge
Miller, a demand was made for the man. This being refused, an
attack was made upon the door with axes, planks, &c. It was
broken in, the inner door and wall broken through, and Glover
taken from his keepers, brought out, placed in a wagon, and
driven off at great speed.
