THE FUGITIVE.

W. II. Haskell. alias Marx, alias Gran
field, who so shamefully deserted his wife
last week after being but a few days mar
ried, was last heard of at Arkansas City, to
which place he went in company with three
young men from this city who he had hired
to accompany him to Arkansas, where he
was interested in land and lumber business.
They accompanied him to Arkansas City
and were going down the river on boat.
At that city he gave them the slip. His
whole actions were suspicious and while
here he left whole string of little debts
which he had contracted in q slick way. He
had $1,000 with him, but persisted in beat
ing all who had dealings with him. The
young men who went with him TO the ma
ton, returned yesterday and report that his
whole bearings were suspicion. and they
were deceived by him in number of things
and finally left them.

a EAuTiFUL SI0HT.

The reporter has taken occasion to note
handsome displays in the show windows OF
our business houses, and there are certainly
many very handsomely dressed windows,
but so far the window Of lines & Ross store
which appeared in full drese yesterday
morning, captures the confectionery. 1t
represents home on Christmas morning.
The floor is covered with Brussels carpet.
At the back is mantle and CRATE on which
the childrens' stockings are hung full of all
manner Of gifts. Old Mr.. Santa Claus with
patriarchial mein appears in the fireplace.
On the right is beautiful Christmas tree,
adorned with strings Of pop corn and vari-
colOured glass balls; beside the tree stands .
big doll attired in q white satin dress with
empress train. In the center ia . willow
rocker, and on the left stand with . satin
plush coverlet and beautiful embroidered
velvet cushion. This window was admired
by hundreds of old and young yesterday.

A NOVEL LAYOUT

One ofthe strangest emigrant outfits that
ever struck this town was seen on the street
yesterday morning. The outfit consisted OF
one horse and wagon with a common
board bed six feet wide BY about fourteen
long. The family that rode in this rig all
the way from West Virginia, consisted Of
the old man AID woman and eight children,
not counting those who escaped into the
timber on the journey. The nag had hair
about seven inches long and his sides showed
marks Of the barn yard. If profusion Of
strong hair is evidence Of strength in an AMI
NAL, that WAS strong horse, and the fact Of
his hauling that steamboat and its live car
60 all the way from West Virginia would.
in the scribe's opinion. be taken as testimony
of his strength, even in court presided
over by Judge Wall or Cap. White.

AN uNPRoFIrABLE HUNT.

Five of Cheney's prominent young men,
with A. n. Briggs as captain Of the party,
returned yesterday from three weeks hunt
in the Indian territory. The amount OF
game captured was one deer ard wild cat,
and it Is also stated that the feline was a
monster, and after being shot, prepared to
spring at one of the party, and as he was only
fifteen feet from the animal, it would have
done him considerable damage, besides
spelling his good looks very materially, had
not another well directed shot interrupted
the animals calculations in time. The hun,
was dear one in more ways than one, rs
four of the party paid all expenses, which
amounted in round figures to three hundred
dollars. 1t is generally thought that they
will not want to repeat the trip for some
time 80 come.

RIDING ACADEMY.
Prof. G. F. Pasahro Arrives
With His Horses and
Outfit.
Forty Eight Horses Trained Like Cir
Gus Animals and Fitted Out With
Beautiful Saddles and Fine
Trappings.

Prof. c. r. Passhro, the celebrated veter-
mary surgeon and instructor in the art of
horsemanship, arrived in the city night be-
fore last with twenty-four beautiful horses,
which are trained as well as the best-drilled
circus horses, for the purpose Of opening Q
riding academy in the rink, of which estab-
| lishment mention was made in these columns
some time ago. The doctor has a large
number of beautiful saddles and trappings
for the use of both ladies and gentlemen.
An EAGLE reporter visited McMillan's
livery stable on Douglas avenue yesterday,
where the doctor is keeping most of his
stock, including two elegant wagons,
in which be carries large
stock Of horse shoes, which are
beauties. In one Of the wagons he also
carries the most complete set of veterinary
surgeons instruments ever seen in this state
He exhibited several of the horses to the re-
porter, and they are indeed fine animals.
Among them are two Shetland ponies, for
the use of children, which are cunning
little animals. The doctor soon conyinces
one that lie understands his business. he
Is q great horseman.
He will open his academy in the rink on
January LIST. Agrest many people, among
whom was the writer, were doubtful of the |
of msneuvering twenty odd |
horses in SO small space as the rink, but
the doctor soon dispels all doubts by COM
pairing it with a circus ring, and the per-
lection with which the horses are trained /
one that il can be done.
The advantage of eques,risn.hip is pretty
well understood. Aside fiem the exercise,
many an accident is prevented on
account Of being at home on
horseback. The doctor says be will guar
sntee everything safe, and he desires TO as
sure the ladies Of Wichita that none but re-
spectacle people will be accepted in his
classes and that no lady need be afraid to
come or send her children.
Weather permitting the doctor proposes
20 give street parade of his stock and give
4 lecture on the corner of Douglas and
Main next Saturday at 2 p. m.
Season tickets or visiting tickets can be
obtained at the Occidental hote. or at the
Wichita National bank.
He proposes to hold competitive exhi-
oition of his pupils March 1st, when horse
md saddle will be awarded TO the best lady
equestrian and also to the best gentleman
i6er of his classes

THE GREAT REVIVAL LAST NIGHT

The rink was crowded last night with
nearly sixteen hundred people, and the
usual services were held in sermons and
songs. Mr.. and Mrs. McGrannahsn and
Mrs. Patterson delighted the audience in
leading the choir.
The sermon by Major White was up to
its usual force and logical reasoning. His
earnest and manly appeals to the people to
embrace the opportunity to comics. Christ
were almost unresistabls and from the large
number of men and women who stood up,
indicated that his words had due effect.
Rev. Alexander Patterson made an earnest
appeal to the sinners which was as lively as
any Of the oxhortstions that have been
heard in the rink. The services to-day will
close the revival at thi. time. The rink
will be open for services Christmas.
