A SPoTTER SPOTTED.

An EAGLE reporter learned some strange
things yesterday about man named j. n.
Ross, who figured as a sort Of whisky de-
tective last spring.
1t seems Ross was great temperance man
last spring, and informed on the saloon keep
ers. 1t would be tough job TO harmoDize
his actions night before last with any tenn
perance idea. unless it might be fixed up
this way: Last spring he was putting down
whisky selling and night before last he was
putting down whisky. 1t is said he went
around to all the saloons, bowling up III
each one until he became SO timber that he
fell in the ditch, when he was picked up by
police officer J. Marlett, who, with the as
sistance of another man carried him to the
refrigerator. The policeman says that on
investigation he found him to be a regular
tr aveling saloon; having in his pockets five
bottles of whisky, which, it must be admit
ted was pretty fair stock these hard times.
The funniest part of the business occurred
next morning. Ordinarily such people are
taken before the police judge; but in this
case it appears Policeman Snyder organized
himself into court, and fined him just as
slick and precisely the same amount as
Judge Glenn wonld have done, 50 and costs
amounting to S. in all. This the policeman
turned over to Mr.. Glenn, with the informal
ton that he had collected it from Mr.. Jones
for being dead drunk. Now the Joneses are
all kicking about it. There are several res
pectable persons in this city named Jones,
and no wonder they object to every drunken
fellow adopting that cognomen.

WICHITA STOCK YARD co.

Now that Wichita is assuming metropoli-
tan proportions, metropolitan airs, and be-
coming a great railroad centre and whole
sale point, she Is looked to as a central mar
ket by all the towns west Of her. 1t is
therefore important that live stock market
on wholesale scale should be established
here, where livestock of all kinds will be
kept always on hand to meet the demands
of all that vast area tributary to our city.
For this purpose the Wichita stock yard
company has just been organized by gentle
men of large means whose business and H.
nancial status is sufficient guarantee that
all business entrusted to them will be hon
estly and honorably disposed of. Col. ].
w. Hartzell is member of the firm and Il
gentleman of st. Louis, of large means and
extensive experience in stock. The compa-
nv have secured the fine barn and commodi-
Gus wards and sheds at the west end Of
Douglas avenue. They will also fit up the
yards at the rivers edge, thus securing a
passage for the stock TO the river for water.
Everything will be fitted up in shape suit
able for the business, consignments of stock
and personal property, wagons, implements,
etc. Regular sale days will be made known
and weekly market report published. This

the MAN FROM ARIZONA.

He was from Arizona and wanted con-
tract for painting the east part of town in a
bright scarlet color. He had his brush
with him, big navy revolver about eight
cen inches tall and bnilt in proportion.
Dan Parks, it seems, was not badly mashed
on that style of decoration, and gently hint
ed to the gentleman from Arizona that he
had a certain transient hotel up town that
he would like to have him see. At the same
time Dan took great fancy to the heavy ar
tillery and succeeded in capturing the entire
battery. The man from Arizona wanted it
back, but Dan would not have it that way.
His antagonist said that several men had
died trying to take gun away from him,
but Dan did not die.
Yesterday morning he was introduced to
Judge Glenn, who insisted on assessing tax
of 81 on him for the privilege of carrying
heavy ordnance. The man from Arizona
laid down the law TO the court in a style that
threw Blackstone in the shade. He said that
a man must be citizen of state before he
becomes amenable to the laws of such state.
The court said that might do for Arizona,
but we had different rule here. He de-
clared he would pay nothing, SO his honor
sent him to board at the Fisher house for
two weeks, and he went along "alle samee
Mclean man."
