Extensive Robbery.

PARSONS, KANSAS, Nov. 24.-Wal-
ter GraysOn, q Greek Indian farmer
and stock dealer, living near here, was
robbed Friday night of over thirty
thousand dollars, mostly in gold and
silver, by party of three white men,
one of whom had been at Grayson's
house and about his premises two or
three days, under the pretence of buy
ing horses; his confederates arrived
Friday evening, well mounted and
heavily armed, and Grayson was imme-
diatcly seized and his money demrnd-
ed. He refused to deliver, whereupen
he was hung to a tree until nearly in
sensible. He still refused, and the
hanging was repeated six or seven
times, and not until the robbers threat
ened to hang his wife did he reveal the
place of its concealment. There were
several half-breed Indians and negros
about the house, but most Of them
were confined to upper rooms and all
intoxicated to such degree that they
offered no resistance. The robbers
were tracked to q point few miles
south Of the Canadian river, where
they separated, one gong south, 9TH
ers north. A nominal reward of 81 500
is offered for the apprehension Of the
robbers, which would doubtless be
greatly increased If the men were cap
tured and the money recovered. Gray
son is an old man, nearly IS. lie is
now lying very sick from the effects Of
his maltrcatmcnt. The robbers are
described as follows: One very tall.
large man, with a red mustachc and
waving long black hair. One a small
man, with marked face, German or
jew, with hard hair and eyes and talk
alive; very quick spoken and dressed
in short gray coat. One of medium
hight, heavy set, rather light or gold
ell colored hair, light blue eyes and
sandy mustache, and thin sandy
whiskers, showing his teeth very much
in talking.

JNo. KELLEY.

EDIOR EAGLE: Within three years
the country people Of Sedgewick coun-
ty have settled upon an open prairie
have turned over the sod and erected
buildings, at once constituting them
selves farmers. The first year they
raised only little sod corn; the Sec
ond, they done better; but this year
the grasshoppers destroyed the veget-
ables and ruined many fields Of the fall
sowing of wheat, and their late potato
crop was failure. To compensate
for these losses, however, they have a
good crop of corn-good, at least, when
compared with counties around us. It
is proper here to remark that the
counties referred to must depend on
our county for their supply oil corn,
equal to their deficit of crop. The
knowledge of this fact should at once
stiffen the price of corn at Wichita.
The farmers who have opened the
country around Wichita have had an
almost insurmountable difficulty to en-
counter, many of them having to bor-
row money Of the soulless money men
Of Wichita, at three per cent. month
on mortgage. The money men who
have done this thing excuse themselves
by saying other men have done the
same. As well might they commit
murder and allege as an excuse that
there are other murderers. Is man

More About Corn.

MIR. EDITOR Il am glad to see that
90 men, represented by Farmers of the
lone tree" have protested against SELL
ing their corn for less than fifty cents
per bushel, until the first Of January,
for this will probably afford the more
needy better chance to market theirs
at fair figure in the meanwhile. am
also glad that did not send copy of
your last number to Illinois, as think
nothing would have stronger tcnden-
cy to stop emigration from this quar-
ter, than to tell them that it costs 80
cents per bushel TO raise corn in Sedg-
wick county. They could naturally
conclude that our land was no account.
But is this the truth in regard to the
culture Of corn in this county? II SO,
ii is a startling and important truth
that must have been unfolded inside
the locked doors of grange meeting,
and these incarnation individuals have
let it out. Now there are some of us
that think that corn can be raised for
one half that money.
One man with good team, plows and
cultivators. average season and average
luck, and no other business to take
any part of his time, can raise 40 acres
or 1000 bushels. This would require
three months and no more, and Ut Is
cents per bushel would be 800 per
month for man and team.
Taxes on the 40 acres would be about
Is. Wonld not the rest of the $500 pay
for labor and living!
We would all rejoice to see BOOM
ing price for farmers produce, but in
new and thinly settled countries sup
ply generally exceeds the demand.
Were it not for the existance Of our
much-abused Wichita, we would be
selling our corn for 10 cents bushel.
instead Of the prices We can now get.
In times past Wichita may have gouged
the farmers TO some extent, but the
business men Of that place. who have
now sharp competition to meet. and
we only need to look 1t the wholesale
markets to be convinced that they are
selling on close margin and working
cheap, - well ~ ourselves. And L
for one think that much Of this contcn-
ton between Wichita and the farmers
10 uncalled for and foolish, and may
easily be carried 50 far as to result in
injury 10 the whole county.

rebound to its credit in years to come.
The news from Kansas is to be re-
GREETED. The number of cattle was
not considered BY Texas droyers in
excess Of the fall demand for packing
and feeding.
Acting on this conviction, they con-
centrated in their own hands a great
amount of stock available for those
purposes; hence, Texans have them
selves to bear the greatest losses and
run the greatest risks. But even al
lowing this to be the case allo aing u
panic to have existed, and most of the
cattle sold since it began to have been
at ruiuously low rates, still we caunot
help advancing an impression of our
own: that feeding may be the most
profitable course before spring is over,
and that those men who have risked
almost fortunes, NAV vet come out up
pcrmost.
The news is to be regretted on other
considerations; aud among these. the
extraordinary effects being made this
