AMERICAN CROOKS IN MEXICO.

During the past summer four thieves, two
of whom had been employed on VIM. +
Codys Buffalo Bill ranch near the North
Platte, in Nebraska, ran a lot Of horses of
10 Old Mexico and there cold them. The
renowned Dick Csrrolton ("Silver Dick"
of Gen. Cooks Rocky Mountain detective
force, of Denver, has just returned from Old
Mexico with the horses. twenty-eight in
number. Dick had been gone three months
and finally succeeded in getting the horses
near Durango city in Old Mexico.
He says the country is full of fugitives
from justice in the United States. A man
named Rudabaugh, the lieutenant eff BILLY
the Kids" gang, he says is keeping saloon
at place called Pardo. Two men who fig
ured in the shooting of the young girl at
Hunnewell three years ago, are at place
called Santa Travail.
Our informant rode on the train from
Newton with "Silver Dick" last night and
stated that he was then en- route to Pond
Creek, l. T., thirty-fve miles south of Csld-
well, to capture other parties wanted in Col
orado.

BRUTE SENSE.

The street vender, who yesterday occu-
pied the southwest corner of the avenue and
Market street, created quite q sensation by
appearing upon the thoroughfsre at the
junction Of Douglass and Maine, with his
cart stocked with a great variety Of small
merchandise, and in the shafts Of which was
hitched beautiful JET black, curly haired
st. Bernard dog. The captain of the cara
van sounded blast upon his horn which
had the effect Of quickly attracting = crowd.
He then announced that upon the next cor
ner east he would exhibit the wonderful sa-
gacity of the best trained dog in the world.
MANY of the crowd followed to the spot des-
ignated and there witnessed the performing
of feats by the handsome animal that were
really marvellous and seemed 10 endow him
with intelligence and thought, as well AS
wisdom and ssgacity.
He would sit up, wear his masters hat
and spectacles, hold his pipe in his mouth
roll his eyes and look very wise. Nothing
could induce him to get down until he had
peTniieSiOh anu no one couiu JAM INT piPc
from him but his master.
He finds his masters lost handkerchief,
closes doors, jumps over hurdles, takes mon
ey in his mouth and hunts up meat market,
even in strange place, and spends his nick
ell for steak.
When neat is given him and he has it
partially eaten, if told that it is poison or
ASt. John" meat, he drops it and will not
again touch it until assured that it is
al right. An article is placed on his nose
when be has sat up like soldier, and at the
word of command, ready, aim, fire. he losses
II up and catches it, never making a mistake
as to the proper time
Again the object is placed upon his nose
and he is told TO catch it when three is
counted, and it makes no difference what
numbers or how many are called of, he site
PERFECTLY quiet until the word three is spok-
en- and ihsn he gobblss i in.
These sre are part OF the tricks OF this
wonderful animal and those who wish TO see
him, can do so at about ten and two O'Clock
to-day.

THAT FIRE BELL.

A fre-bell is such handy and satisfactory
ornament for any city to have around, but
as to their utility, that depends. Wichita
has s fre-bell and il is rung semi-once-in-s
while, but ne far as any one knows II has
never been manipulated twice by the same
person, or once correctly by anybody
There seems TO have been fire in town night
before last, at least the fre-bell said there
was, but where il was has not at this writing
transpired. although no doubt the EAGLE
corps will find il out before this appears in
print. We will say again, and for about
the twentieth time, that a fre-bell is for the
purpose of announcing that there is fire, in
the frst place, and in the second, to direct
the attention Of the people to the locality.
Some fifteen or eighteen men started from
the upper end Of the CITY, night before last,
to come down and lend helping
hand. On reaching Oak street they halted
to learn by the bell which direction 10 take.
From the manner the bell was rang no man
could decide. Some claimed one ward and
some another. For our own part we gave it
up. 1t rang for every ward in the city, all the
townships in the county and for large sec
tons of the state generally, SO the crowd
went back 10 their respective homes. Nowth
rules for ringing thst bell have been publish
ed over and over, but we will just print the
matter and manner again: The first man
who reaches the rope should light in on
both sides Of the old pot metal until his arms
fairly aches, say from thirty to forty seconds
then be should pause full three seconds then
commence to strike single stroke for each
ward, pausing between each stroke full two
seconds, after striking the last stroke for the
number of the wsrd, he should cease for
fully three seconds then commence and go
over the programme again just as IN the
first instance, each alarm and taps for wards
to consume from fifty seconds TO full
minute. Now who is the next fellow TO
make mus of the whole business.

A HORSE FIDDLE.

A crowd collected behind Neiderlsnder's
real estate office on Douglas avenue yester-
day to listen to the melodious braying of an
instrument called horse fiddle. 1t was q
big dry goods box with hole cut on each
side and valve of sheet iron tackled on the
upper edge of each hole. The bow was a
piece of scantling 8 feet long, well coated
with resin. When the bow was drawn over
the edges of the box the music would
charm the heart of Texas steer.
This instrument, together with lot Of
horns, COW bells, tin pans and other musical
aperatus were loaded on q wagon last night
and taken over the river, followed by large
crowd for the purpose of serenading new
ly married couple.
The proceedings of the occasion have not
been sent in,

ROW WE ARE IN A FIX.

No doubt many of our city subscribers
made note of what seemed peculiar petit
ton mentioned in the published proceedings
of the city council night before last, to the
effect that small strip of land on west
Douglas avenue be taken into the city. After
some figuring and enquiring We discovered
Yesterday what the thing meant. 1t seems
that there is strip along the west end of
Douglas avenue, on the north side, from
Wichita street west to the bridge which has
never been properly plated nor brought into
the city, although all the lots upon either
side have been sold; those on the south side
by metes and bounds instead of by numbered
lots. 1t further appears that the government
half section line is the north side of Douglas
avenue east and west. Therefore on its face,
if not in equity, Mayor Griffenstein owns all
of Douglas avenue west from Wichita street,
except strip on the south side forty feet in
width, which leads TO the bridge. As it
stands now IT will be Mr.. Griffenstein and
the commissioners for it, but if he had sue
ceeded in having it brought into the city, he
could have made the city either pay him for
the ground, which would make eighteen lots
a total amount of $4,000; or, upon the
other hand, sell the lots to individuals.
OF course the case involves intentions, per-
sonsl rights, easements, ancient rights,
equity, chsncery, snd heaven only knows
how much more, so that with our present
light and knowledge We don't want to ven
ture too far. That the council referred the |
matter to committee snd refused to take |
any other action is to be commended. They |
did exactly the right thing. 1t looks to us |
very much like lawyers scheme or job |
The whole matter directly antagonizes all of |
Mr.. Greiffenstein's sections and sentiments |
towards this city, therefore we think it prob
able that the job has been fixed up. There
IS no doubt in our mind that the county /
sixty feet wide running from Water street to
the end of the bridge, providing the prop
srty over which they run Is private prop
erty, and providing they proceed to con-
denim in usual form. But there are dozen |
grave questions involved, which in turn in
volve the rights of property holders adjoin-
ing, and the people Of this city expect the
council will resolve TO do nothing hastily, |
but to feel their way very carefully. If the
avenue should be plated and sold out in
ots, not only those living on the north side
and fronting the avenue would be ruined,
but the beauty Of the avenue destroyed.
There would only be narrow lane leading
from Wichita street TO the end of the bridge.
We make 10 suggestions as to why this
matter has been kept in the dark so long,
but suggest that the whole matter be settled
md settled for good, and that too with all
possible dispatch.

BUSY COURT.

Justice Thomas court was the scene OF
important and hard fought legal contests
yesterday. During the forenoon weighty
legal machinery was running under q fall
head of steam in two different department,
separated by picket fence, but no barbed
wire. Upon entering the court the visitor
found himself in the midst Of vast throng
of judicial looking individuals who would
grace the supreme court. Every one looked
as grave and solemn as yearling owl. In
the midst of this august body court re-
porter sat at a stand, covered over with legal
cap, recording the questions an answers
of counsel and witnesses. Pro-
ceeding to the inner depths
the temple of justice, the chief
law-giver of this establishment was found,
surrounded by some of the heaviest weights
of the Wichita bar with sprinkling Of
constables, but very few sherifs. Import
ant papers were occasionally showed up to
the court for his signature and then turned
over to the constables.
The EAGLE representative viewed the pro-
ceedings with awe and would have given
worlds to be able TO remain during the
whole day, but outside business was press
ing and he reluctantly quilted the court.
Returning in the afternoon he found the
outer court adjourned, but in the inner de-
partment he beheld court in full blast with
a jury empannelled and q pair
of lawyers on either side with TOM
ahawks and battle axes hammering at
sharp edges of an exceedingly rough case
involving the payment of q certain note.
The counsel for the defense were examining
witnesses and the opposing counsel interros-
ing objections to everyone Of them and in
sisting that the question should be asked in
accordance with their views.
At almost every objection the attorneys
on either side arose and poured law and
precedent at the court until he was filed to
OVERLOOKING.
Recognizing the fact that it would occu-
by the current year to dispose of the case in
this style, and not wishing to show partial
lty, the court hit upon happy medium by
sustaining about one half of the objections
and everything the remainder without argu-
ment This scheme facilitated the proceed
ings but the scribe could not remain to see
it cut and in all probability It is not out

Main street; down Main TO Douglas avenue;
east on Douglass to the Santa Fe depot; re-
turning by the same route to their train

his hair done up at Bill Williams barber
shop, Johnny Clsyton's clerk came in and
handed him one of "Clsyton's illumina'

powder: Big Jack lit the cigar, threw him.

when suddenly the thing blew up and scat,
