ALONG RIDE OVER A NEW COUNTRY.

Mr.. John Tucker, ex-county treasurer,
returned from a long horseback ride over
the country 10 the west end south OF
Wichita, fully two hundred aud fifty miles.
He hauled up finely at point within thirty
or forty miles of the southwest corner Of
the state, the terra iacogafte OF the south
west, where he and his company found
home and abundant range for their cattle.
He left Wichita on the 18th OF May, and he
says the trip was a revelation. The country
they secured their ranch in is destitute Of
running water or surface water OF any
kind. and they were compelled TO sink wells
for supply for their herd. Mr.. Tucker
says the average estimate vi the
country for the first hundred or
hundred and fifty miles west Of
Wichita II q mistaken ono. No better or
finer bodies Of agricultural lands hardly,
can be found than the prairies of Pratt
county, and even for some distance SOUTH
west OF that county, apd he says just AS
soon as railroad is extended out there the
country will settle up aud that thickly SO
that railroad would deyclope a sustaining
support by the time ii was fairly finished.
The lands of Finney county are high aud
dry although heavy rains ieli there during
his stay. Mr.. Tucker comes back lookin 9
a little drowned but greatly improved in
health and strength.

WOOL AND COTTON FoR WICHITA.

4 prominent manufacturer of cotton and
wooden fabrics in Mississippi, who was
presented to the editor of this pa
per Friday morning at the house
Of Innes & Ross, says the mana
gers Of the above staples are looking
anxiousiy forward TO the day when 4 road
will run from this section directly down
the Arkansas valley to the Mississippi riy-
er. They want our surplus hay, grain and
meats, and in return desire to send us their
products. This gentleman said that
by the way Of the Memphis &
Fort Sect railroad they could now
lay down their goods in Wichita. direct
from the factory, for Sl,l6 per hundred
where formerly it cost 81 .04 by the way of
st. Louis-fifty cents from ST. Louis. and
one iifty-four from there here. This result
is but an earnest OF what would follow in
the way of advantages if n direct road
were built, in which event the staples of
cotton would be laid down in Wichita for
the same price that they are now laid down
in st. Louis, while the grain, meat and hay
Of this valley would shut out all COMPETE
tors, and at an advance on the price
now received. A direct outlet to the sea
or to the head of ship navigation, by way
Of the Arkansas valley, has always been
one OF the EAGLES hobbys. On the impor-
lance OF such line Capt. ID. NJ. V. Stuart
contributed several exhaustive articles to
these columns early as 1872 and 1873.
The Santa Fe has held itself in readiness to
make such an extension, for years, but the
same influences have defeated their
efforts TO secure right of way that
have barred out the Oklahoma BOOM
ers, viz, Discrimination upon the
part OF eastern congressman and
senators to do anything which would seem
to disturb the Indians or jeopardize their
interests. But this road will be built and
Wichita, more than any other place, as i
city OF wholesale supplies, and manufaet-
ures, will be the most directly benefited.
With this road would come a competition
by way OF Memphis and TT. Scott and by
way OF the Mississippi and st. Louis, which
would lay down in the hands of our jobbers
every product of the south at exactly the
same figures at which they are now laid
down at st. Louis, and such places as To-
peka, Pueblo. Denver and the western
towns would find Wichita their cheapest
market for cotton, wooden and sachariue

DEATH OF w. /. LAWSON.

William ]. Lawson departed this life Fri.
day morning at O'Clock, at his residence
on the corner OF Main and English streets,
at the age OF IS years. The public has been
prepared for several weeks for this sad in.
telligence. Ii has been known for some
days that there was no possible chance for
his recovery, and in the possession of thi.
knowledge the deceased arranged his
earthly affairs, called his family about him
and charged them with his last wishes. His
disease was typhoid-malarial fever. MIR.
Lawson was reluctant to succumb
to the eneroachments OF the malady which
terminated his life, and it was not until the
fatal disorder had fully mastered his once
strong physical organization that he gave
up the active pursuits OF business and con-
fined hsmself to the house and lately to the
bed.
The deceased was born 10 1876, in Crystal
Lake, McHenry county, Illinois. When
only eighteen years Of age he became a
member OF John FuruswOrth's amous
Eighth regiment of cavalry. II served all
through the war, not being discharged I'M

BOUND OVER


The preliminary examination OF Richard
4. Bradley, charged with the murder OF B.
l.. Burris, was concluded in Justice Hobbs
court Friday afternoon. Several new
witnesses were put upon the stand, but
they failed TO reveal any material facts aside
from those already published in the EAGLE.
The attorneys on either side labored hard
and earnestly. especially did Mr.. Wall
bring all his talent powers to bear
upon the case, and in the interests OF his
client. After hearing the testimony and
arguments, Judge Hobbs decided that the
evidence was such as TO warrant him in
holding the prisoner, therefore he was re
court. The decision Of Judge Hobbs will
meet with the hearty approval OF all fair
minded men, for while the evidence adj
duced was not of n character 10 warrant
conviction, it was such as to point
strongly to Bradley as the guilty
the state, it will hive them time to work up
the case, and it will also allow the prisoner
time TO collect his evidence. The charge
is a grave one, and requires the closest In
vestigation, which it will now have, and II
the prisoner lie found guilty by jury Of
twelve of his peers be will be made to suf-
fer the full penalties provided by law, but
il the state fails TO establish his guilt he
will go forth gtHltless man SO far as this
case is concerned. Il is quite likely his
trial will take place at the present term Of
the district court.
