REPORTED ROBBERY.

Early night before last man giving his
name as Henry Parker, and his residence
near Greenwich, came into Jake Egley's
lunch room on East Douglas avenue, and
reported that three men met him near the
Fort Scott depot and attempted to hold him
up, and that after dreadful struggle in
which he had used one of the men up pretty
badly with . car pin, that they finally
overpowered him and robbed him of $40. A
good many who heard this story connect it
with the injuries of George Doolittle, but
the connection don't hitch well, nor does
this mans robbery story look very proba-
BILE. Doolittle was seen and conversed with
parties about the depot near midnight, and
was seen on top of freight car about that
hour. A careful examination of his injuries
must have convinced anyone that they were
not the result Of blows, but must have been
the result Of a fall, and the majority of those
who saw him and heard all that was known
of his movements, are Of the opinion that
he fell off car. Parker's story is improba-
BILE, inasmuch as at the time he reported it
to have occurred, there were probably a
dozen people in that vicinity, and thugs
would not be foolish enough to make such
an attack at that hour, nor could such q
scuabble have reasonably occurred at that
hour and place without having attracted
attention.

BREAD CAST UPON WATERS.


The Indiana Bakery takes the cakes, in
fact the pies and biscuits also. Yesterday
afternoon was landed in this office large
box accompanied by the following note:
Compliments of the Indiana Bakery, made
from Royal Gem Flour, of the Diamond
Mills" SrEFrEN & DEIHAMMER.
The box was filled with pound cake.
cream loaves and light bread. However
proud the Indiana Bakery may have been of
the contents of that box we should say that
the Diamond Mills could feel hardly less so.
1t contained not only the evidence of expert
workmanship but of good material also.
The Indiana Bakery is located on Main
street, north of the Occidental Hotel, and is
the establishment that runs that fancy glass
door head wagon, whose customers so loud
ly praise the manner in which they are
served. We haven't room to dictate, but
that box of bread would take the premium
at Vienna or anywhere else. and those who
want good, extraordinary good bread, know
now where 70 get it.

INDIAN ITEMS.

Sergeant Henry Washington, of Co. 81, u
9th U. S. cavalry, was conspicuous on the
streets yesterday. The sergeant has portly
figure and dressed in regulation blue with
non-commission official stripes. His color
seems to add additional martial bearing. He
is African and as consequence feels the
high official position which he occupies.
An EAGLE reporter attracted by the ap-
pearance of Sergeant Washington sought an
interview and learned that he was stationed
at Fl. Reno and that he was on a furlougb,
en- route to Chicago. He stated that the
boomers were very quiet and were mostly in
camp at Caldwell. He states that the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe Indians in the vicinity
of Reno refused to receive their supplies and
rations and were very much dissatisfied.
Capt. Csrdall was assisting the Indian agent
in the distribution and the action of the In
dans was UNEXPLAINED up to the time he
left there. Two-thirds Of the members of
these two tribes left the reservation and
formed medicine camp between Fl. Reno
and Cantonia and near that point cut the
wire.
The military could not control them and
fears are entertained at Reno that a junction
will be formed between these Indians and
the insurgent tribes of New Mexico and
Arizona. Col. Frank Z. Burnett. command
ing the post, tried his utmost to quiet them,
but could not.
The sergeant says that the troops have
cut considerable wire this spring, and have
destroyed many of the COW pens in that
vicinity. There are three companies of
Ninth United States cavalry in the territory
under Col. Dudley.
The reports given above by Sergeant
Washington were given as true statement
and related in an intelligent and straightfor-
ward manner, and from his manner impress
ed the reporter as being reliable.

CONFIRMED BY OBSERVATION.

An early settler of this valley and reader OF
the EAGLE from our first number has re-
Gently visited the beautiful home place OF
Mr.. NJ. K. Moser, east Of town, and says we
have never fully reported the possibilities
Of this section even in our widest moments.
To see the finest fruits growing and ripen-
ing upon the thriftiest of trees, surrounding
homes in ten years with every delicacy Of
their kind, fields bordered by magnificent
shades and groves, in the midst of which are
rich and elegant modern residences forbid
comparison with the naked prairie of doz-
en- years ago, but permits contrast with
prairie states long since called old. He
thinks no such picture can be properly rep
resented to distant readers, for it is of supe-
rior attractiveness as a landscape in itself,
combining innumerable beautiful objects
into grand whole which conveys TO the
observer. an idea Of long settled happiness
and the expedition of years of labor to ac-
complish such results. But who can pro-
perly represent the feelings of those who
came into this country but little more than
decade ago with few dollars only to be-
gin life anew after reverses of fortune, as
they now view their lovely homes and thank
God that no debts are pressing them and
those they love into untimely graves. He
assures us from his personal knowledge that
nothing ever yet published as facts misrep-
resents the country around us.

Another tidbit of wisdom I've picked up
these little women, who often fums and fret
over little things, stand as tour Of strength
when real trials and privations visit their
household. All worry is forgotten, the
brave soul sustains the frail body; tho the
lips tremble. they speak only words Of com
fort, hope, love and cheer; tho the tears are
about to fall, n smile holds them back
Said a strong man to his creditors when
the disagresable truth came to light that his
thousands were gone:
Gentlemen, l have given up every dol
lar; for myself do not care, but my wife,
daintily reared always petted, she will fee
this misfortune sadly"
The big fellow passed and repassed his
own door, dreading TO go into his own home.
mamie was inclined to worry over little
things, what would become Of her in this
trialr He loved her, too, and desired &c
keep her happy.
"You should have told me all, Charles.
but the past is irrevocable. Together we
will climb up again, my husband" was her
calm reply, yet common report said of this
brave little lady. "she ruined her husband
by nonsensical extravaganza
ATS impossible for tho best, and brav est
the most unfortunate not to worry" we
think "if we lad known" "had done this or
that" or "iG would have been better 50" and
consequently discourage ourselves, forget

The Wichita Base Ball club played their
first game yesterday afternoon at Carey's
Park, with the Towanda club. Quite q
number were present. The Wichita boys
took the lead in the first inning, and MAIN
tanned it until the'fnish, winning by score
CT 10 to 10. The playing of both clubs, at
the bat and in the field, was about equal,
and but very little above mediocre. The
ground wss in O miserable condition, the
grass and weeds being waist-high to the
out-felders, and as consequence lost ball
being Of frequent occurrence. The Towanda
boys scored three runs on account of the
ball being lost, while the Wichita boys were
able to add 10 their score seven runs, which
would lead one to believe that luck favored
the home team. Mr.. Godfrey. Of Towanda,
acted as umpire, and did his work with sat
isfaction to both clubs. The following is
the score by innings:

BEGGING AS A SCIENCE.

During the investigation Of the jury of in
quest as to the cause and manner of the
death of the murdered Italian, information
was drawn out incidentally showing that
begging is a scientific pursuit with num-
Der of the Italian race. Two books were
found ard brought before the coroner that
had been prepared as stock in trade for
subjects to ply that occupation. These
books were provided with notarial certif-
Gates setting forth appalling misfortunes
and evidently prepared to meet any emer-
gency and for any person. In letters
found in the Italian language near
the scene of the murder were
unmistalable evidences and illusions TO
acquaintances who were plying that occupa-
ticn throughout the country. 1t seems
strange to people of this country that beg
ging would be resorted 10 by any but the
most needy and destitute, but such is not
the case with some nationalities, particularly
the low class of Italians. 1t has often been
said that Italy-the classic 1taly-was a ma
ton of beggars and that troops of profess
sional beggars thronged every street corner
and crossroads of the country.
Who has net wondered at Mark
Twain's picture of Rome and its
beggars! To be sure it is overdrawn in the
Mark Twain style, but the national charac-
teristic is truly Sc. forth. The startling in
formation was made known few years since
that children were crippled artifcially, de-
prived Of sight and their forms distorted by
an inhuman brokerage in beggars. Intor-
nation reached this country that bounties
were offered by Italian padrones control
ing large numbers of these imported beg
CARS On investigation by the authorities
of New York and Boston it
was officially made known that
thousands of beggars within those cities
were professional and held by a system by
Italian padrones who reached princely for
tunes from the slavish cripples and other
professional mendicants plying their imposi-
tons on the people. That they spread their
operations may readily be seen from the
fact that every town in the Tinted States is
visited semi-annually by these imposters. 1t
has been known for long time that un
Italian beggar in this country was
in all probability likely to have money,
hence the press frequently give accounts of
their murder and robbery. The Chicago
trunk murder originated with trio of pro-
fessional beggars. The great Italian murder /
at Denyer several years ago, in which five
beggars and musicians were murdered by
two of their companions was another in
stance of rich beggars and their robbery.
The developments of the murder here
show that the principals in it were either at
the time, or had been, beggars, wringing
from charity under false pretence that which
ought to be wortbily bestowed.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.

A man about q years old. shabbily
dressed, who gives his name as George h
Doolittle, was found by the police in an in
sensible condition near the track Of the TT
Scott railroad just near the freight depot
about O'Clock yesterday morning and put
into box car until something could be
done for him. A reporter visited him at
the car about Q o'clock and obtained the fol-
lowing story: my name is Geo. II. Doo-
little, said the man and my parents live in
Kansas City. have been working a day
occasionally at the Diamond mills. ! met a
man the other day who lives at Benton and
who has an old threshing machine engine
he wanted fixed up. intended TO take the
l2O5 train to Benton last night, but the train
got away from me. About that hour l was
knocked down and remained insensible I'M
til the police put me in the car this morn
ing. My left arm is broken near the
shoulder and my right hip is hurt and the
thigh bone fractured. am not drinking
man and was not drunk. did not see the
man who struck me and don't remember
anything about the striking. l was robbed
of S6.75 but can't tell anything
mere about it." In the wounded mans
pocket was letter from his mother, from
which it would appear he was not bad
character. She lecturcd him on his inabil-
ity to get along better, saying that he did
not drink nor keep bad company,was strong
and healthy and she couldn't see why he
didn't get along better. She wanted him to
send home $50. 1t appeared fran the letter
that another brother lived at Leavenworth
and that the support of the family devolyed
upon the two brothers. He said he would
like to be sent home. He could give but n
very imperfect account of the manner of re-
ceiving bis injuries and it is difficult mat
ter TO fathom the affair. Many who have
seen him feel sure that he got on top of
freight car with the intention of stealing
ride, fell asleep and tumbled of, and the
appearance of his person and injuries seem
to bear out that theory. Again Others main
tain that Some four or five bad characters
were seen in thai neighborhood that night
and that sGuabble was heard and that
was either held up or that such
was intended. Following up that
theory they say that this man
was victim or that he in trying to hold
up. got the worst of it. The lat
'er theory, however, is not reasonable, as no
complaint Of attempted robbery is reported,
md no one save this man reports having
oeen robbed. He was taken to the county
house, where he will be cared for and fixed
up SO as to enable him to be sent home,
which he seems to desire.
LATER-He was taken to the union depot
Ipon a cot last evening and chloroform ad-
and sent TO Kansas City on the
,vening train.
