E. T. Beard, better known as "Red,"
the proprietor of one of the dance
houses across the river, paid the penal
ty of his misdeeds with his life, on Tues
day morning at s o'clock a. m. 1t will
be remembered that he was shot in a
row at his dance house some two weeks
since. A post mortcm examination
was made upon the body day before
yesterday by DR.. Owens, the coroner.
In company with Mr.. Sewers, Of the
Beacon. we proceeded to the Eagle
Hotel, where we found seven doctors
and coroner's jury. The examina-
ton disclosed that his right arm at the
elbow had been shattered fearfully and
was in state of decay. The wound
in the hip was also in the same state.
In the latter wound bullet was found
imbedded in the bone. Traces of pus
were discovered, we believe, about the
wound and in the lungs. The exam
nation was very thorough, but we
withdrew before the entire process
was gone through with. AT the hotel
were several frail. women, who had
been inmates of his house, who seemed
much affected. We noticed also Row
dy Joe, who is charged with shooting
BED, who wore solemn countenancc.
The post mortem examination, tech
nically and properly stated, revealed
the fact Of death by infiltration of pus
in the blood, the result Of gun shot
wounds.
T.. T. Beard was formerly from
Beardstown, H., which place was laid
out and named after his father. who
was wealthy. He was well educated,
and had christian training. lie has
three children. two daughters and q
son, nearly grown. who are now at
tending school somewhere in the cast,
and know nothing of their fathers
wild life in the west. He was about
forty-fve years of age, straight as an
arrow, red hair, which fell in profd-
sion of curls upon his shoulders, and
from which he took his name Of "Red,'
an enormous moustache aud large nose.
lie knew no such thing as fear and was
counted one Of the best shots on the
border. At the time Of the burning Of
his house last simmer by Z. S. soldiers,
and at which time, in desperate en-
counter against great odds, he shot
and wounded several, he remarked to
some Of our citizens that he would not
live the summer through. He told DIR.
Furiey last week that he followed the
disreputable business only in tue hopes
Of getting start in the world again,
but if he got over his wounds he would
never go inside of . dance house again.
.sOh. what sign II IL IL evil lite
When deaths approach i seen - tefsib;e.r
Beard left some property and money
In tle hands Of parties here for the use
and benefit Of his children, in the shape
Of , regular beqness.

The following note explains itself {:


WICHITA. Nov. 9TH, 1873.
EDITOR EAGLE: l received the sad
intelligence last evening of the death
of my brother, Joseph c. Fisher, aged
seventeen years, five months and ten
days, which occurred at Olathe, Tues
day evening, Nov. 4th, at 1880 He
was attending college at Baldwin City,
and went home sick last Thursday, but
was up and around the house, on Sat
urday and Sunday. On Sunday night
symptoms of inflammation of the bowels
set in, and he kept growing worse un-
til the time of his death. His demise
was SO sudden and unexpected that it
was impossible to have the relations
present, and it was found necessary to
bury him on Wednesday, so that neither
my brother William, at Effingham, nor
myself could see him, and we knew
nothing of it until after the funeral.
The news is sudden, sad and over
whelming, and ! leave for home this
evening, to be Of what assistance can
to my grief stricken father and mother.
Twill visit my brother Will while
away, and will be home the middle OF
next week. Respectfully yours.
CHAs. E. FISHER.

Another episode has happened. A
"yaller," crop-eard dog, with a long
switch or roll of ladies' hair in his
mouth. went sailing down street yes
terday morning, followed by at least
forty ours of every conceivable degree.
The whole pack seemed to be frantic
over that $50 worth of hair. We didn't
moralizc any and wonder where lived
the fair creature around whose white,
dropping shoulders those rinSlets were
wont to nestle, or upon whose manly
breast, by the pale light Of the incon-
slant moon, had they found resting
place-it was firc-red chignon, and it
done us good to see the dogs worry it.

A small party of our young folks
took an excursion to Granada, Colora-
do, at the end of the A., 7. & s. F. r.
r. The weather was delightful, and
the trip proved all that could be de-
sired. Buffalo, antelope and other
game was seen.
The valley is being settled up nearly
to the west line of the state. The Sab
bath was spent at Granada, where Mr..
Winram is running first-class house.
Granada is but small place, but large
amounts of goods are being held there
for the New Mexican trade. Some lit
tie apprehension is felt by the people
of Granada from Indians. The party
arrived home.Tuesday noon.
The following named persons COM
posed the party: Miss Josie Pittenger,
Miss Lou Caldwell, Miss Emma Kring,
Miss Ella Murdoch, Mr.. Benz. PARCELS,
Mr.. Geo. Clarke, Mr.. Joseph Hampton
and the junior of this establishment.
The entire party are under obligations
to Conductor Hampton for the many
courtesies and accommodations cx-
tended to the party.
