DRIVEN BACK TO KANSAS.

East Atchisonians Won't Let Negroes
Live in Missouri.

ATCHISON, Feb. 25. -- (Special.) Some time ago, when the saloons of Atchison were closed, a number of the proprietors moved to East Atchison, Mo., and continued the business. Wholesalers as well as retailers went across the river, taking colored help with them. The negroes drove wagons an cleaned up their places.

Yesterday a lot of Missourians got after the negroes and drove them back to Kansas They were ordered not to return. They had given no offense, but certin residents of the Missouri suburb objected to any negroes making their home there.
