BRACKEN AND BLAIR.

There il one industry Of considerable i'm
portance in this city that but few know
much about, viz: the hide, tallow, grease
lard oil and soap furnishing factory on the
west side of the river. There are few instr
buttons in the city that bring as much money
from eastern markets to be spent here a:
this one. These gentlemen opened their
house for business last fall in a very small
way and have increased to such an extent
that their monthly product amounts to
81 1000 Before this house went into bust
now dead hog will bring one dollar pei
hundred at that establishment. The money
received from the product of this concern
is therefore clear gain, not only to the cit.
but to the county, and is therefore Of thu
highest importance. In conversatier
with an EAGLE reporter yesterday, Mr.. Blai
said that this fall they intended to pu
in two lard oil presses, manufacture lard oil
and family and toilet soaps Of all kinds and
that they had already engaged an expert

They will give employment to fifty hands
Thus it will readily be seen that this fac

LITTLE PHIL.

Lieutenant-G General r. II. Sheridan, ac-
companied by Col. Mike Sheridan and
Lieut.. Long, came up from Caldwell on the
Santa Fe last evening, enroute for New
York to be present at the funeral of Gen.
Grant. An EAGLE reporter rode with the
general from the Douglas avenue to the
union depot, and reminded him of his prom

tory on his return.
WELL" said he, ''there is not much to
tell. The cattle leases were at the bottom
of the trouble. Several Of the Indians have
small plantations along the streams, which
were included in the leases and their crops
were destroyed by cattle, this had good
deal to do with the tronble." When asked
why he did not dissrm the Indians he said
they were all right, and that when the cat
tie were removed there would be no trouble.
With reference to the extension of the
time for removing the cattle he said,
There will be no extension. 1t would
only renew the disaffection." From the
Union depot the reporter rode on the street
car with Mr.. G. W. Gorton, of bunny
mede, Harper county, who has had cattle
in the territory for years, and who knows
more about Big Horse, Wolf Robe and all
the redskin layout than Gen. Sheridan him.

side their blankets, heretofore, they just
went and took it. Mr.. Gorton says the
Cheyennes are bad Indians and Big Horse
and his gang caused him lots of trouble. He
spoke of one cunning trait of the redskins
character, viz: that they will promise any
thing verbally, but will add in their own
minds the phrase "if we don't change our
minds" But when asked to sign E written
statement of the promise they will refuse.
Mr.. Gorton says Agent Dyer Is good
honest man and that he is a friend to the
Indian, but the trouble is there is a jealousy

partments and Mr.. Dyer was not sustained.

Indians. He says the lease money WAS fair

HOLDING OUT.

A reporter was much interested, amused
and instructed by conversation that took
place in Q restaurant between two well
dressed men yesterday. They were exchaLg-
ing experiences. 1t soon became evident
they had followed shows, tended bar and
followed kindred occupations during the
greater part of their business career. After
listening some ten or fifteen minutes to these
professionals the reporter learned many in
genious methods of knocking down." or as
these gentlemen put it, shedding out" They
had come in contact with each other several,
times while one was tending bar at saloon
or variety theater bar, and the other sold
tickets. The regularity of their system Of
stealing from their employers was quite
| instructive and its extent a. they
related il to each other, caused the reporter
to reflect upon the extent of such stealings,
and to conclude that the proprietors OF
joints, shows and many other branches OF
kindred business didn't have such lovely
time of it Said one, "Do you remember
when tended bar for old - at Indian
apoli.s Well, was getting $40 month
and held out from So TO $40 day, right
along" ayes, and l." said his companion,
twas selling tickets for -- show and
got only 81 night salary, but l did't count
the salary anything. 1 thought it poor
night when 1 couldn't pocket $40 to SIS. 1
wish 1 had as good thing now.' Many
other similar experiences were related, and
the reporter left filed with reflections on the
subject of honest help. 1t could not but
have occurred to him that he never saw one
of these gentry but they were mourning
because they did not have good thing
now, and that not ore of them ever got
enough ahead to 60 into business himself.

ITEMS FROM THE FIFTH WARD.

The agricultural fair grounds have been
under . course Of repair and fitting up FOR
some time and the track been put In excel
lent order. This park offers nice drive for
those of the city who seek the clear breezes
of the west side The superintendent Of
fers the park to all who may wish to ride or
exercise on the track free of charge, and SO
stated Yesterday.
J. r. Gould, in the absence Of water
works on Chicago avenue, has put in force
pump and keeps his place as cool as posi-.
BILE by sprinkling with his amateur waite,
works.
New watermelons have just made their
appearance in the city. j. r. Reynolds &
Co. being first to offer them for sals this sea-
son on Chicago avenue.
The city ordinance passed recently pro-
viding for the removal Of slaughter houses
and other obnoxious impediments to health
is quite freely discussed in the Fifth ward.
The inhabitants are quite anxious about
their removal and the owners Of them are
discussing the matter among themselves.
One proprietor expressed himself to re-
porter as being in favor Of . city slaughter
house run by and under the control of the
city, with Ia charge for each animal killed
within it. He said If such was done the city
could remove it when necessary and the loss
would not fall on the butchers. as when pri-
vste individuals 90 to the expense
of building they cannot tell how
soon in a rapidly growing city like this they
will be crowded still further out The pres
ent houses are ordered to be abated and tho
mayor is instructed to act in the matter.
Improvements are still going on in this
part of the city. The last house completed
is that of j. II. Baker, on Chicago avenue,
which is quite pleasant residence.
The Dodge hardware house is being
rapidly put up on Chicago avenue.
Street work is going forward with a
good deal of energy and number of mud
holes have been abated west Of the bridge.
the overseer roads is getting all hands out
for road duty.
The reporter took a stroll out to the
farm of Mr.. Robert Z. Lawrence,
west ofthe city, one of the most pleasant
places in the vicinity. Mr.. Lawrence has
$40 acres in his tract, portion of which is
in pasture, while the major portion is in
cultivation. His house sets in shady
grove surrounded by fruit trees consisting Of
apple, peach, pears and arbors of grapes.
He has groves sodded with grass on which
his stock of cattle and horses brouse in lux
urious ease. His barn has a capacity OF
sixty head of cattle and a large storage
room for hay which he hoists into it BY a
patent apparatus. 1t is hardly conceivable
that the beautiful arbors and avenues and
groves could spring up in the space of ten
years, but the remarkable fertility Of the
soil and climate is making almost paradise
out of the lovely place that Sr. Lawrence
owns. He has laid out several additions to
West Wichita and in few years his place
will no doubt be farther encroached on. The
many fine head of stock on this place is ais o
worthy of special note, but at some other
time will give a description of them.
