FUGITIVE PRISONER CAPTURED

Sheriff Fisher received dispatch from
Sheriff George McIntire, Of Cowley county,
yesterday morning that Bob Perry, one of
the four prisoners who broke jail here last
week, had been captured. Captain o. 5.
Rsrick, deputy United States marshal, ar
rived here with the prisoner on the Santa
Fe train. yesterday evening. Bob Perry has
been in jail here about eighteen months.
He is charged with the murder Of a man
named Hart in the territory, short distance
from Hunnewell, nearly two years ago.
Perry had got to Arkansas City on Tuesday
and hired man to take him to John
Beach's ranch, about sixteen miles below
Arkansas City. They started on horseback
and while on the middle of the bridge
below that city. they were met by Capt.
Rarrick, Mr.. Reed and Sheriff McIntire, who
had been south looking for the runaway
prisoners. The officers drew upon them SO
quickly that the fugitive had no time to
turn back and being unarmed he could do
nothing but surrender. He was pretty
badly used up, his feet were frozen and be-
ing thinly clad he suffered considerably
with the cold. He thinks that the Soldier
Smith must have been frozen to death some
place because he WAS afraid 10 venture to
any house to warm OF get anything tn eat
He says they all separated soon after getting
out and that he lay around Pleasant Valley
nearly two days. He also states that he
made the Babbitt metal key and that he
would have let all the boys out of Jail if the
key had not broken in the last lock. He
was in good humor and appeared to be glad
to get back TO his comfortable quarters in
the ial.

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

The hall Of the Knights of Honor was
last evening the scene Of gay and festive
gathering on the occasion of the grand an
nual gathering Of the members and families,
and their usual superb and excellent supper.
The hall was crowded TO its utmost capac-
ity and the entire company seemed possessed
of but one idea and that being enjoyment.
The elders passed the fore part Of the even
ing in conversation and social pleasantries
while the juveniles INDUCED in the games OF
their choice, Popsey-wopsey, Ring-a-Ring-s-
Rosey. and such to their little hearts content.
At $50 o'clock the gentlemen who had
entire charge of the supper as they stated
that they intended to present supper TO
their ladies and therefore assumed full
charge of same, invited the company to par
take of refreshments which consisted of an
oyster supper supplemented with confec-
tionary and fruit, which was served by the
members who doned the regala of waters in
a faultless style. After the festive board
had received ample justice at the hands OF
the guests the tables were cleared away and
dancing to the inviting. strains Of the Italian
band was INDUCED in.

THE CHAMBERS.
The State Veterinary Surgeon on the Ground

AEt otdtc bSkefiuAiy SufESou ou khe Sfoauos
Last Saturday morning the EAGLE an
nounced that il was feared that the fatal
malady known ms the CHAMBERS was prevail
ing among the horses of some of our farm
ers living in the western part Of Delano ana
eastern part of Attica. at which time We
gave the names of several owners Of affect
ed horses. The same day we wrote letter
to Governor Martin urging that the state
veterinary surgeon be sent down immedi-
ately. An answer was received Monday
morning from the governor who said he had
referred ctr letter with a request that he
give it his immediate attention. We had
hardly got through reading the answer be-
fore DIR. Holcombe himself put in an ap-
pearance and who announced himself ready
for business. Hunting up Deputy Sheriff
Derby, it was but short time before the
doctor was on bis way to the infected
district. He returned to the city at S o'clock
last night and reported that he had visited
infected animals at five different places and
that he was satisfied the disease was the
CHAMBERS. He found one case fully devel-
oped. two partially, three suspicious cases
and twenty-nine exposed. The doctor says
he prescribed such remedies as are known to
prevent the spread of the dreaded malady,
such as separating the animals, using disin-
fectants and instituting strict quarantine.
He saws when case becomes developed
there is absolutely no cure, and it is best TO
kill the animal SO affected. The Doctor
thinks the virus may be transmitted through
the breath to other animals but says that
there is little danger of "a human being be-
coming inoculated unless part of the body
where the skin is broken comes in contact
with the virus. He feels sure that the dis
ease was brought in with horses brought
from Missouri and sold here.

JUSTICES COURTS.

The Justices courts were busy grinding
out justice to the erring yesterday
The tail end of Mag Woods trial was on
deck yesterday morning before Justice
Thomas. It will be remembered that the
complaint of assault with intent to kill was
Dismissed sometime ago and a complaint of
assault AID battery substituted. County
Attorney Balderston was on hand to prose-
cute the case yesterday and Stanley and
Wall were there to defend. After con-
siderable whispering and private consulta-
tons, it was agreed that Mag would plead
guilty and pay fine of S75 and costs. This
light war indemnity appeared to appease
the wrath of the state. 1t seems to have
fully attoned for the attack on the peace and
dignity of the state, but no part of the war
claim is to be given to the soldier who
fought, bled and almost died in defense Of
the state Lizzie McCormick). As the ag-
gressor in this case paid 81 in the police
court the morning after the battle and $50
and costs yesterday, the whole war indem-
nity amounted TO about 500, which might
be considered very low price for all the fun
there was in it. Prices generally are little
low Just now anyhow, and such simple d.
version as shooting, horse stealing and muir
der should not be taxed too much until bus
mess brightens up. Looking little further
on, perhaps when all the costs connected
with the case are footed up, the footing will
look formidable enough. 1t must not be
lost sight of that Stanley was engaged in this
case, and if Mag had TO whaek up enough
chips 10 make Stanley shed tears the figures
are formidable enough. The tears generally
begin to flow from the unfortunate client
who is stacking up the chips, before Stanley
shows much emotion.
As soon as this case WAS so snugly dis
posed Of to the satisfaction OF the state, the
nation and the lawyers, another consulta-
ton among the legal giants took place with
reference to the boy who stole the gun and
other truck from Mr.. Werrick The result
of all that Interchange of wisdown was that
the boy was bound over to answer the charge
of grand larceny in the district court.
Law is curious thing any how. per-
son charged with murder is royalty acquitted
amid the admiration of hundreds, receiving
the congratulations of many, while poor
devil who steals few trinkets is sent to the

TIL NEW KANSAS RAILROAD.

Wichita is to have new railroad. Mr..
Hartzell, of Wichita, is organizing COM
pany to build road from Wichita TO
Hutchinson, on the west bank Of the Arkan-
sas river. This Ioute is through splendid
agricultural region, and white the road will
be short one, it will be an exceedingly
popular one with the metropolis Of the
southwest. We learn that David Robinson,
of Toledo, Ohio, is assisting Mr.. Har.zeil
with capital for the new road. Mr.. Robin
son is now receiver of the Toledo 4 Indian
apolis railroad, and is considered a reliable
and influential railroad man. Two of his
sons, men of large capital, are now engaged
in business in Wichita, and viii, no doubt
materially aid Mr.. Hartzsll's new project
The road when completed will only be for.
ty-seyen miles in length, but is believed
will be an important line for the local trade
of Wichita.--Capital.

SNEAK rniryrs.

Elmer Wilson, the young fellow who was
arrested last Sunday charged with having
stolen shot gun and several other articles
from Peter Werrick, was up before Justice
Thomas yesterday. County Attorney Bald
erston conducted the prosecution, and Nor
ris and 'Jewett defended the prisoner, who is
a farmer-looking young chap, about 10 or II
years old. He appeared to care very little
about the result of the trial, exhibiting no
interest in il whatever. He said his home is
about ten miles southeast Of Hutchinson.
Mr.. Werrick's story is that he had been at
church in the city Sunday, and that when he
arrived at home he found the inside doors Of
the house all wide open. Upon looking
around he discovered that his double-bar-
relied shot gun was gone, and soon discov-
cred that several other articles had been car
zied of, intending bullet mold, a jackknife,
about peck of apples and some other small
things. He fouEd that the thief had entered
the house by the cellar door and helped him
self to something to eai, and then searched
the house for plumber. Mr.. Werrick got
upon his track and traced him a piece, then
got neighbor to follow the trail, while he
came 10 the city TO notify the police. The
tracks led TO the city aud the apples were
found near tree. The lad was sighted
among the cars of the Fort Scott road, with
jug iu bis hand, which he dropped. He
acknowledged that he had taken the
things, and told that he had hid the
gun at the fair grounds. When taken
to Jail several keys were found upon him.
Police officers Frank Brasicr and Al Clark
testified as to capturing the lad and finding
the several articles.
The only question raised by the counsel
for the defense was regarding the value Of
the articles stolen. The case was continued
until to-day for tine purpose Of bringing the
gun into court. 1t is probable that tie
present case will be dismissed and the charge
of burglary be substituted.
A week ag, some one entered the residence
Of II. w. Lawrence, west of the river in Just
the same manner us this fellow is alleged TO
have entered Mr.. Werrick's house, and after
refreshing the inner man with the good
things Of the cellar he made his way up
stairs and got away with silver dollar, sill
yer butter k lie and considerable silver
plated cutlery and spoons. Mr.. Lawrence
immagines this same young chap was the
thief as he entered the same way and one of
the keys found in his possession fitted the
lock Of his door.
There is some reason TO believe that there
is gang Of sneak thieves around and that
they manage to take some of the plumber
away and sell il somewhere else.

The sleeper Of the Frisco train east, due
here at 9:40 Yesterday morning, was thrown
from the track by broken rail about five
miles north of this city. The coach WIS
drawn considerable distance over the ties
and the trucks badly smashed up, but for

proceeded on its way east leaving the sleep

Newton. The car and track were SO badly
used up that il was only cleared up just IN

ffrea ,vifh Pstai Eject

At II O'Clock last night'a terrible tragedy
occurred at the bawdy house Of Lizzie Dale,
or Lizzie Mccormick, on Waco street, d.
rectly opposite the water works. resulting in
the death Of one person and terribly wound
ing Of another. The following are the par
ticulars:
Lizzie Dale, or Mccormick, Is the woman
who was 50 roughly used in the encounter
with Mag Woods. A short time ago she left
the house where the racket occurred be-
tween her and Mag Woods and went to live
on Waco street. Tie man, Charley
Snider was dissipated character who it ap-
pears was mashed on the Dale woman. He
went to the house last night about II o'clock,
under the influence Of liquor, when he found
his enamoretta in the arms of another young
man in the bed room. He sat in the recep-
ton room until the pair came out. The
young man before mentioned in company
with friend who was at the house with
him went away, and Is soon rs they did so
Snider, who was jealous, dSew his revolver
and threatened to shoot the girl. The other
girls in the house endeavored to pacify him
and tried to take the pistol away from him.
He drew her into the bed room, closed the
door and In an instant Tho report of pistol
was heard and four more followed in rapid
succession. The young men who had
just len heard the shooting and
returned, when they found both the woman
and man lying upon the floor with blood
streaming from them. Snider shot the wo-
man three times, a ball entering each of her
hands and the third striking the side of her
head, penetrating the skin and passing
around to the occipital, where It lodged.
Thinking he had killed her he opened his
mouth, thrust the muzzle Of the revolver
into it and fred killing himself instantly.
The police were notified and Doctor Whit
lock called, who finding the man dead pro-
ceeded to give his attention to the wounded
woman. Chloroform was administered to
her in whisky and the doctor probed for the
balls while Officers Al Clark and Frank
Brasier held her. When our reporter left
the balls had not been extracted. Her
wounds though severe are not necessarily
fatal. although they may result fatally. The
man was laid out upon the bed to await the
arrival of the coroner, who had been sent
for. Such were the condition of things at
the scene Of this awful ragedy at 1:30 last
night when our reporter left the house.
