Henry Ernst Drowned in Fall Greek, in the
Presence of Thirty Companions.

very singular of death by drowning
occ urred yesterday afternoon in Fall creek, near
the Tennessee street bridge. Henry Ernst, of
Louisville, about sixteen years DID, and visiting
his uncle, Herman Ernst No 760 North Ten
nessee street, went swimming in the creek in
company with number of juvenile friends.
There were altogether about thirty boys in
swimming at this particular hole" at the time,
and none of them noticed young Ernst disap-
pear. AS they left the water one of them
noticed his absence and spoke of it, but another
explained that he had sssen him run on the bank
some time before, and that he had probably
dressed and slipped off to fool the rest of them.
Not until after the entire party had dressed and
an extra suit of clothes found did any of them
think he had been drowned. Efforts were then
made to find the body, and it was recovered from
the bottom of the creek. The remains were
taken to Flanner & Hommown's undertaking
establishment The space in which the boys
were bathing at the time young Ernst was
drowned was not more than fifty feet long by
forty feet wide, and it is very singular that he
should have disappeared without being noticed
by any of his companions.

SHOULD BE LOOKED AFTER.

A reliable gentleman said to a representa-
tive of this paper yesterday appropos 70 the
present bad water agitation: At this time
there is six or more dead hogs sflost in the
Little Arkansas river. Previous to last
Sunday, they were laying in the drifts in
the series between the fair grounds and one
mile north of it. Last Sunday two Of them
had foated down g few hundred yards
above the bridge at Widrieus ford. They
are generally in a putrid condition, dis
solving in the water, and present white,
rotten repulsive mass Of animal corruption.
These truths can be amply vouched for by
responsible parties who have patrolled the
river in canoes on recent repeated occa-
sions. Is there no way. or has the city no
authority to keep the source of its water
supply pure. Some action ought to be
taken.
The law is as follows:
SEC. 4. Chap. 81, Dassler's compiled laws
of Kansas, page 374, reads as follows:
IF any person or persons shall put
any part of the carcass or any dead animal
into any river, creek, pond, road, street
alley, lane, lot, field, meadow OF common;
or if the owner or owners thereof shall
knowingly permit the same 10 remain in
any of the aforesaid places, TO the injury Of
the health or TO the annoyance of the citi
zens of this state, or any Of them, every
person so offending shall, on conviction
thereof before the Justice of the Peace oil
the county, be fined in sum not less thar
one dollar nor more than twenty-five dol
lars, and every twenty-four hours durinl
which said owner may permit the same tc
remain thereafter, shall be deemed an ad
ditional ofense against the provisions o

PRATT COUNTY WAR

To the Editor Of the Eagle:
DEAR SIR: The all-absobing topic Of con-
versation in Pratt at present is the county
seat fight, and the present status Of that con-
fict is rs follows:
The Injunction on the county commits
sionerr TO prevent the election between 1uka
and Pratt on October / was modified by
Judge Nimccks, district judge, SO far as to
allow the election to take place, but held
good to prevent the commissioners from can
wasting the vote. The election took place
on October /, and on October the hearing
on the modified injunction took place at
Great Bend. The whole INJUNCTION was
there dissolved; but with saving clause, viz
That the commission well restrained from
canvassing until the plaintiff had time to
make an appeal TO the supreme court; and
they were granted until the 18th Of this
month TO make such an appeal. There the
case now rests.
Just how the election went is still . mys-
tery, ss claims are very numerous and con-
ficing.
One thing is certain, viz: That outside OF
the vote Of the two precincts of Saratoga
and Pratt, the count stands go for Pratt and
COS for Iuka; and that Pratt claims that in
one of these precincts, that of Georgetown
which gave for Pratt and IS for Iuka, the
method OF conducting the election wai
wholly illegal, there being NO registration
nor afidavits. This, Of course, Ssratogs
denies in toto. The votes Of the two pre-
cincts of Pratt and Saratoga are as follows
Pratt claims 81 votes. all but for Pratt
and this claim has not as yet been seriously
disputed by Saratoga. Saratoga refused &c
give any account of her vote until tn
morning of the 2nd, when the Sun printed
q circular claiming 402 votes for Iuka and
for Pratt The next day, and ever since
Saratoga has claimed 535 votes for Lux
and for Pratt. Prstt alleges that tn
whole vote of Saratoga is fraudulent go ia
as it exceeds $50, that the election was con
Quoted Illegally, nobody being allowed T.
see the polls or his vote balloted; and ths
54s votes for Saratoga precinct is absur
on the face of it and fraudulent behind
All this Saratoga very warmly desires.
1t will be seen, by way of explanation
that the fight was actually between Pra'
aud Iuka. The latter place made but Yves
fght. and the majority OF the county office
favor Pratt Thus the matter stands.
Meanwhile, business is picking up, an
every business man is looking forward TO
good fall trade LOCKER On.
