Yesterday YVES fair day in the police court
erchequer and an army of women of unques-
tionable character Clipped in amounts vary
ing from $40 to 25 according to their avail
able means. The city authorities have in
augurated new era and it seems to be u
financial success. The police were put on
the warpath yesterday afternoon and they
made several trips to the police court with
droves Of women, nearly all well dressed,
well painted and wearing gay hats and plu-
mage. The scheme adopted was to double
up on their fines as was done with the ss-
loonists. The boarders $40 each and the
boss of the ranch SIS. Very few of the COM
mon hands had sufficient in their stockings
to pay the tax. Those who could put up
$40 were allowed to go but the less FORUM
ate ones were assigned TO rooms in the refrig-
orator. Most of them didn't seem to care a
snap whether school kept or not. Twenty
one in all were brought into court and $50
changed hands in the transaction. Thus it
viii be seen thst the city is richer by about
$1,000 by yesterdays work. Judge Glenn
had no time to go to his dinner, therefore he
has his pockets full of crackers and during
the interim between droves he goes about
munching crackers and singing, 40! what
shall the harvest be-"
The calaboose is almost full of the delin-
ouents. The show will continue to-day.

EpLAneroRp FOUND DEAD.

A colored man named Ed LAngford who
lived in small house near Gays park was
found dead in his house BY George Gay yes
terdsy morning.
Ed had not been well for day or two and
having no attendants. Mr.. George Gay, pro-
prietor of the park, brought him something
to eat from his own house. Mr.. Gay stated
that the old man had complained of pain
in the back of his head. Upon arriving at
the shanty yesterday morning Mr. Gay found
the door fastened on the inside and his knock
not being answered he went round to the
back of the shanty looking through the
small the window be saw the old man lying
upon the Hoor Mr.. Gay then went around
snd pryed the door open and upon entering
found he was dead. The coroner was mott

gard repaired to the house and viewed the
remains. A jury was empanneled at ! p

was decided to adjourn until this morning
and hold an autopsey on the body.
Owing To the fact that many suspected he
had money, also that the colored people had

THE MAYORALTY.

An EAGLE reporter, while on his rounds
yesterday, interviewed large proportion of
our business men as to their choice for
mayor for the ensuing year. Several stores
were not entered at all. and where business
man was found to be too busy he was not
questioned. Several declined to name their
choice, on the ground that they had not
given the matter any thought. Nearly every
one declared their opposition to any one who
was fanatic on any question. The general
feeling was for conservative man of good
business habits.
The result of the preferences expressed are
as follows: \. T. Niederlander. 20; Col

Yesterday young Rodes, son of Thomas
Rodes, and brother of the young married
man who stole horse from his father, and
was sent to the pennitentiary for one year at
the last term OF court, was arrested here
yesterday charged with having negotiated q
forged check at the Wichita National bank.
Thos. Rodes,th bad boys father,moved to Re-
no county short time ago. Yesterday the boy
called on Mr.. Maxwell and got him to write
check for $3.50 The young man soon pre-
sented the check containing the old mans
signature, and the amount was paid. Inves-
tigation developed the fact that the signature
on this check did not correspond with the
old mans signature on the bank book. Of
ficers were put upon the track of the young
man, and Detective Mcmahon arrested him
about 4:30 p. m. We are not informed
whether or not the money has been recov-
cred.
Detective Mcmahon called on the EAGLE
late last night and gave some more particu-
lars concerning the Rhodes forgery from
which it seems that the idea was suggested
to the young man by the action of his grand
father. 1t is said that when Rhodes left for
Reno be authorized his father TO sign his
name to notes and other business papers and
that be came to town day-before-yesterday
and signed his sons name to a check for
$500 which he drew at the bank. The
young man conceived the idea that if the
grandfather could get money on such a
check he could do so as well. He rode to
town with man named Bailey, of whom
he :enquired the mode of making out a
check, when he was told he could get blank
checks. He went to the bank and got a 10,
of bank checks, one of which he gave to Mr.,
Maxwell to eli out for him.
Detective MeMahan arrested him at the
Farmers and Drovers' hotel. near the bridge
He found S24090 of the money on him, the
remainder he had paid on some clothes. The
officer took clothes and all, but as it il
doubtful if he will be prosecuted he wa;

self in shape to shoot the fellow had ran out
on all fours. Upon reaching the sidewalk
he struck up street at Maud S. gait II
Mr.. Cullar had known that the fellow had
got inside at first he might make it hot for
him as be was fixed to do it. In view of the
fact that at the time there were a
number of people in the restaurant
next door, also in the billiard hall
just west of the store and at the Brunswick
billiard hall. directly opposite, and that per
sons were passing along the street every few
minutes, the boldness of the fellow may be
realized.
There can be no doubt that gang Of
burglars have headquarters here. When
they do job or two here and arouse the
vigilance of the police, they so out to sur
rounding towns and do small jobs until they
suppose the police have relaxed their vigil
lance, then they return and give us another
raking over. With the regular police and
merchant police who try the doors of every
business house several times during the
night, the cracksmen are not making much
of harvest. Much annoyance would be
spared. however, if they could be located
and run in, or fired out of town. This is
no easy matter, however, as there are
so many strangers daily arriving here.
We imagine, however, that there is nest
of old-tin.ers here and the marshal will steal
a march on them and make the atmosphere
a little too hot for them.
