Detail of troops from 4th Sub-district, Central District of Missouri. Four men were placed on the stage leaving Kansas City for Warrensburg in order to catch the bushwhackers who had been holding it up. An attack was made upon it 3 miles below the Little Blue and 2 of the band of 5 outlaws were killed and 1 was wounded. The other 2 escaped and brought reinforcements enough to make a party of 15 and again attacked the stage, capturing the driver and vehicle, the rest of the party escaping into the brush.
