These legal documents relate to the case of the United States vs. Daniel Bowen for grand larceny. Bowen is accused of stealing household goods, weapons, and supplies from Jonas Ketcham, a member of the Delaware tribe, on April 20, 1858 on the Delaware land in Leavenworth County, Kansas Territory. He was indicted by the U.S. District Court, Kansas Territory, First District, during the court's September term of 1858. During the Kansas territorial period, the increase in settlers led to conflict with tribes that had been relocated, often by force, to the area.
