To the Editor OF the Daily EAGLE.
Some philosopher has remarked that the
natural state Of man is state of war. You
will pardon this communication, and fur
ther on you will see why again come to the
front. Now Leon is sick at heart; he is
downcast and melancholy. His friends can
cannot comfort him, though they have tried
the livelong day. The throng of friends
that have called upon him could learn moth
ing, so reserved and distant was he, until
at last his old friend i, X. X. h, was sent tor
and he unbosomed himself and told all. He
feels as if they were not only trying to de-
prive him of his salary, but that be is being
When sorrow has once been upon man he
has no longer faith in life, hopeis evanescent
at best The cause of all this sorrow and
CONSERVATION is the circulation of petition
among the people of Kingman for the re-
moval of Leon as the EAGLE correspondent
at this place. 1t has gone so far that word
has been received by friend that he must
go. lfyou only knew the pride and interest
he feels in the welfare of the EAGLES pros
perity you would confde in the writer the
number of names attached to the said petit
ton and let his friends see if they could moi
get up memorial that would put
to shame the beggarly number obtained by
the ambitious ass
| If Icons friends should call mass meet
ing in his interest there is not a hall tha
would hold the people. My word for it
Tonight he cannot speak for himself, h e i
patiently waiting word from the chief edito
of the EAGLE and will abide his decisions
Further in his behalf, will say that povert.

lie has more brains than books, more sens
than education, more courage than polite
ness, more strength than polish but to leav
him on the cold charity Of the world befor
spring time comes is at variance to tn
wishes of your many subscribers at King
man. We will ever pray.
A very good idea of the railroad projec
for this part of the county has been giver
but some objections have been raised eye
before the committee has had time to report
1t might not be out of the way to say tina
several wealthy citizens have come forwar
and offered to guarantee the county agains
any expense in issuing the bonds in case tn
road should never be built. So much con
fdenee is being felt that the road will b
built that such men as John p. Jones, L. {
Almond, and c. II. Alexander say they wi
personally guarantee any expense the Peopl
may be put to in case there is failure, an
the road is not put in full operation. 1t
expected the county will be asked to vot
the bonds of Sl25,O0O for the Denver, Mem
phis and Atlantic railroad,to be built throug
Kingman city within eighteen months.
Harry Gllen left for Illinois, his old home
to-day for the second time this season, 70
two mere car loads of horses.
Marshal VIII Fossett had set-to with
young man to-day, who is spending the win
ter here for his health. He made some dc
rogatory remarks about the female band
and when told to stop he repeated them-t'
his sorrow.
You could ::scarely believe it, but there
actually candidate in the field for sheri
next fall He has been told the story of tn
early worm, but has forgotten how foolish
was for the bird to be out. However, hi
personal looks in this case will protect him
There was but one object in communicat
ing all that has been said, and in conclusion
I would say Leon is like the lilly of the val
ley, he needs no adornment to enhance hi
rare merits, and ask that you will not leav
his heart barren, and without a flower o
kindness or blossom of pity. Look wei
to the ballot.
XXX, A FRIEND OF LEON.
