Leavenworth Commercial, called this week and
left his card
Judge Little returned few days since The
rumor which was ailoat to the effect that the

for he is still enjoying,,singe blessedness.
J. ;. Danford and wife spent several days in
our city. Dantord has severed his connection
with the Eldorado bank. The probabilities
are that he will locate in our city.
Miss Josie Dutton, of Eldorado, is visiting
Mrs. Judge Campbell.
viii. Woodman has rcturned-been home

had we not called Into the bank. Business is
business with him.
Arment q Cotton have gone to New Mexico
TO try their fortunes. These two gentlemen
are both well and fayorably known in our city.
Mr.. Cotton has been deputy L. ;. marshal
for some time in this district.
X. A. Hoffman, "Dick," general travelling

A widow l.dr d,ed in this citr en l..t rridar

widow lady died in this city on last Friday
night, leaving three little children to be thrown
upon the cold charities of the world, and cold
they must be. for we are informed that the
family were in very destitute circumstances,
and that few minutes before the woman ex-
pired the last bit Of candle they had in the
house burned out: no light in the room save
that Of the pale moon which stole through the
cracks and crevices Of the delapidated old
building. This is indeed sad state of affairs,
especially to happen in community that is
noted for its generosity and willingness to help
the poor and afflicted. The ladies' aid society
have done noble work also, this winter, but
greater diligence on the part of the visiting
committees Of the different wards in searching
out the cases of restitution. has been suggest
ed. Some twenty-five or thirty dollars has
been raised for the immediate relief of the or
phan children.

Spring Creek Items.

Great preparations are being made on Spring
creek for putting in large spring crops, and
for breaking out more land. John Rrunson is
going to break an entire quarter section. and
Mr.. Branson will spoil some of the grass on the
south half Of fifteen; Zeph Stafford will break
one hundred acres, and am going to break all
| can.
VIII. Tucker is going TO plant ten acres to
castor beans. 4 great many experiments have
been made to ascertain what this valley would
produce should like to see some expert
ments made to ascertain what il wouldn't
produce.
/ hope the report Of the finding Of coal in
Sumner county is true. Last Spring was re-
liably informed that Mr.. Smith had found coal
in well on Gypsum creek, and l made an
item Of it for the EAGLE. A few days after a
man passed through III Paso who said he had
rode eli the way from Cowley county to see
about that coal, and he had found out that
cold Doolit,le is d-.liar.' Since that l
have not said much about coal.
Some Of the people here are very uneasy
about reports that our county commissioners
are about TO do us a great injustice in regard
to bridges. If were not acquainted with }.
b. York and John Carpenter. and did not
know them to be honest men, might '.iret
