ing a bank check for Saj and 50 in silver, as

went 10 the window 10 see what was the
natter. he saw several men proving
around, and in order to scare th EN- away,
discharged one or two shots from a small
revolver. This had the desired effect, and
the thieves took to their heels and ran of.
Mr.. r. thinks there were four OF them, and
believes be recognized one as a man that he
used to know in Wellington
Prof II. w. Wells, a brother-in-law OF
r. W. Swab, arrived in Wichita few days |
ago from Topeka. has bought property and |
will make this city his future home. Mr.. |
Wells is u dancing master by profession, |
and proposes opening dancing school in |
this city as soon as the weather becomes n
little cooler. He moi alone teaches this se-
complishment, but also department and |
etiquette. For the past two years he has
met with much success in Topeka, where |
he has been giving lessons in the terpsicho- |
rean art, and those of our readers who de- |
sire ~ extend their knowledge in this d. |
rection, would do well to call upon him at |
Mr.. swab's merchant tailoring rooms.
John Carey and W. I. Jewett, while |
coming across the Big river bridge Monday |
in buggy, came near meeting with a bad /
accident. When about half way across they 1
noticed runaway team coming from the |
other end. They Immediately jumped out
of the buggy and attempted to turn around
and get out Of reach of the runaway. In /
the hurry Jewett fell down and was run !
over by the buggy. which fortunately was
light one. The runaway team was stopped |
before reaching them, and thereby bad /
accident was ayerted. Jewetl's injuries |
were not yery bad, although his right leg |
was pretty lame the balance of the day.
Last week Stewart a. Boyle shipped on
order male pig TO u. +. smith, Of Garden /
Plain. Mr.. Smith was so well pleased with |
him that he came to Wichita yesterday for

one OF the opposite sex. A few days ago |
Mr.. Fullenwider, of FL Dorado. came over |
and purchased three head. His neighbor,
Mr.. Thomas, after seeing them took the |
train for Wichita and likewise purchased |
two head. Department Commander Pond. 4
who has u farm near TT. Scott. gave the 1
Colonel an order for fine male pig on 1
Monday. The present high price OF fat /
hogs is exerting an influence on the demand
for thoroughbreds. and those of our farmers
who have good ones to sell are in luck.

$500. Although diligent search was made
aud sl00 reward was offered, no clue TO
the stolen animals was gained until a few
days ago when Mr.. Avery received a Sele-
gram stating that his horses were in the
of farmer by the name Of John
X. Maxson, who lives five miles north of
this city. Mr.. Avery arrived here Tues
day and went out to the farm OF Mr.. Max
son, where sure enough he found his an
finals. which had been purchased from
for SO in cash and q note Tor SO
more. The man who sent Avery the tele-
gram would not accept the rev ard, and as
Ayery's proof OF his horses was positive.
Maxson gave them up, the owner paying
him $40 for their keeping. Avery was
greatly rejoiced on regaining his horses, /.
and laughed to think that his $500 colt had
been sold for about $40. There is no clue
to the thief

note Of the fact that Mr.. r. J. McKim, the /

who was quite ayerse to talking about t

McKim is few years Mr.. Blaine's senior, |
and at the time in question was not only
Intimate with young Blaine but the Mckim I
