Another Of those dreadful personal aifrays
involving not only the lives of the pariici-
pants hut the happiness OF wives and the
welfare of children. occurred in sherman
township in this county last Thursday which
cost Chas. Anderson, a farmer. his life. The
quarrel. it seems, was about the division of
some grain which had been raised on the
shares and which was being threshcd at the
time of the misunderstanding. Chas. An
derson had sowed the wheat on Leon Fou-
quet's land. In the height Of the quarrel
our informant thinks Anderson struck Foul
quct with a pitchfork, when the latter
wrenchcd the weapon from Anderson's hands
and plunged the tines into his side. Andcr-
son lived only few hours and Fouquet was
arrested and lodged in Jail in this city. An.
other account says that Fouquet called An
derson foul name when the latter struck
him with the pitchfork. dropping which he
commenced TO Use his fists when Fouquet
picked up the fork and made the murderous

DEATH OF George HOLMAN.

! MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF GEORGE HOLMAN.
Last Saturday, about noon, word was
brought into town by two men who had been
fishing, that the dead body OF man was ~
ing close to the river edge some half mile
below the bridge on the opposite bank OF the
river. Coroner Rentz Immediately made up
jury and proceeded to the place designat-
ed They found body well advanced in de-
composition, lying face forward, the head
upon the ground and the body supported by
the knees. About its neck was piece Of
leather belt and it was evident enough that
the man died from strangulation. His coat
and pants, carefully rolled up, were found
deposited in the forks of a small bush near
at hand. One end of the strap that was
around the neck had been attached 10 small
limb Just back Of where the corpse lay and
and about five or six feet from the ground.
The contents of the pockets were horn
snuff-box, small mirror and knife. The
body was placed in a coffin and inferred i'm
mediately after the inquest. The snuf-box,
which was peculiar one, led to the idcntifi-
cation. Mr.. George Roseberry, Of this city,
one Of the .urymeE, felt satisfied that II be-
longed to George Holman, who lived on
Roseberry's place eleven miles west of town.
He Immediately rode out to his place to find
that the old gentleman had not been at home
since the Sunday previous. His son, ayoung
man aged about 81 years. said his father had
left home the Sunday previous, he supposed
to come to Wichita TO attend the Catholic
Church, of which he was member, and
which he often did. He had in addition to
the articles enumerated, when he left home, "A
leather pockcfbook in his pocket which con-
tanned about ten dollars. That was missing
at the inquest. Our theory was, from the |
position Of the body and that the clothes |
had been so carefully rolled up and placed |
in tree, that the man had committed sui |
The missing money seems TO have |
led them TO conelud that there was foul play. |
From Mr.. George Roseberry we learn that |
Mr.. Holman is native of Brushing. Ger

country in July, 80. Settling in Pcnnsylya-
MIA, they removed to this county in 1S,s, rent
ing farm on the Minnesota. afterwards Mr..
farm upon which they have re-
sided since. The deceased was sixty-nine
years old. He was careful and industrious.
He lett home at nine o'clock on the 18th and
hat was the last seen of him until his body
was found. Mr. Fritz Snitzler says he saw
him about that time at his house he thinks,
,ut there is 10 further evidence a. to his at
ending church or even being in town. Mr.
John Forrcy. on Monday, the 18th, saw 4

cribed. but supposed him intoxicated and

SHEEP AT OUR FAIR.


To the Editor Of the Eagle:
As wool-growing is becoming one Of the
principal industries Of this country it is due
to our association and the people that we
make large display Of sheep. In order to
do this ask that every sheep man make it a
point to bring something in this line No
matter if you are satisfied in your own mind
that you have not the best bring something,
and remember that the society has been kind
enough to separate the classes so that each
and every grade is classed separately, with
liberal premiums, aand there is no reason
why we should not have the biggest sheep
show IN the southwest. Let US try.
