Bold Robbery.

About half past eight o'clock Mon.
day evening sneak thief took three
or four pair of boots from box stand
ing outside of w. III. Wear 81 Co.'S
store and started away with them. A
few lads who were near 10y and saw
him in the act ran in as quickly as
possible aud informed Will of what
had just happened and he at once took
after the thief, keeping close behind
him up Main street. to the station
house, where he turned and then
kept straight on down the railroad
track until near the planning mill when
Will told him TO halt or he would
shoot. This possibly alarmed the
robber for he turned and fired at Will
coming within two or three feet of
him. Will followed the man around
the planning mill until he lost sight of
him and thinking it best to be better
armed he returned to Leonard's hard
ware and got revolver and returned
to the mill but could not find any
trace of the thief. Others followed
after ana search was made but as yet
he has not been captured.

FIRE LIRE 4 [

The cry of fire was again sounded in
our village for the first time in quite
"a few months. About half past
three o'clock last Tuesday morning
the frame house or Kennifc street,
owned Ly VIM. McFadden and occupi-
ed by john Hickey as dwelling. was
discovered to be Oh fire. Nearly the
whole town was aroused in a short
time but the building being OF dry
pine nothing was saved but an organ.
There WAS no wind at that time or
other parts of the town would have
suffered by tins destructive element.
1t seems that john Hickey and family
have not been living in The house for
some time and the fire must have been
the work of an ircendiary. Insurance
on furniture $500; building 5000.

A DISTRESSED FAMILY.

A carpenter called an EAGLE reporter at
the postofiice yesterday and gave him the
particulars of very distressing case of
family desertion. The family is that of a
man named Burnett, living on south Water
street, and consists of wife and six small
children.
Burnett had been working on the streets
but last Thursday morning he left home,not
leaving dollar, nor a dollars worth Of pro-
visions in the house, and has not since been
heard from. The man giving the informa-
ton said he had been rendering what assist
ance he could, but being poor himself he
could not afford it. He said Mrs. Burnett
told him her folks lived in Indiana and she
would like to get there. He inquired if it
would not be good idea to call on the
mayor. The reporter thought it would be
a good idea to call on the Womans' Benevo-
lent home, and the man went there.

About 5 o'clock last evening Police Officer
Jap Maralatt captured man on the corner
of Emporis and Douglas avenues. He went
through his pockets in a hurry and found a
pop, which he took. He then proceeded
with his prisoner to the refrigerator. An
EAGLE reporter followed after to see what
the harvest would be, and at the European
hotel three young men were sitting on a
bench and Constable Doc Worrsll played a
very sharp trick on one of them. Doc
caught one Of them and said. want you.
At this another jumped up and manifested a
disposition to run Off At this evidence Of
criminsliiy Doc dropped the fellow he had
and colared the other and walked off to the
cooler with him. Doc alleges he is q kid
who was suspected of having stolen watch
last fall and who skipped out and just re-
turned yesterday, supposing no one would
know him.
They were both locked up. Jap Msrslstt
got Sl2 on the person of his man, who is
merely guilty of nothing more than drunk
and carrying pop. Docs man hsd moth
ing upon his person but had a sstchel some
where. They will have 3 hearing to-day.

LADIES BENEVOLENT HOME.

The EAGLE representative paid visit to
the above named institution yesterday and
learned that all their patients had got well
or were recovering. The ladies are in bad
way for furniture and the good people Of
Wichita ought to look into that matter and
send some second hand furniture. They
need three tables, one for the sitting room
another for the kitchen and third for the
dining room. They are not particular as to
the kind. They want mop, IA few chairs
(sny kind, comforts and cots. They need
a few cots badly, they are not particular a:
to quality The lady superintendent said
she would like TO get some young ladies in
terested as she thinks the are the best
workers. There are five unfurnished
rooms in the house and if any two, three OF
four young ladies will furnish them, they
will have the privilege of naming them and
in short have superintendent over them
They are very badly off for chairs. Thi.
institution promises to do much good and il
is hoped they will receive the necessary aid

staid church members of advanced age en-
joyed themselves by seeing the young and
nimble glide fairy like through the mazes of
the dance.
Henry Noltmeyer was one of the COM
mittee of invitation; Henry Billmsn was one
of the floor committee, and Henry Schnitz-
Ter was on the committee of arrangements.

The supper was genuine feast or lunch
and was prepared by Messdames Ludeke,
SCHUYLER, Schnitzler, Bolte, Weisenfa,
Klentz, Horneck, Weigand. To say that

only mildly imply its goodness. The tables
contained beautiful repasts and

and ample to accommodate the
entire company. The supper was ar.
ranged for the entire night and without any
crowding little punches ofguests repaired al
their leisure to the supper rooms and par

J. S. Hardacre and Miss Minnie Roush, both

| The following lines were written by lady
friend to commemorate the event:
| TO MINNIE on HER WEDDING DAY
Let not, dear Minnie, tho wife,
Bid all her fears adieu;
| There's comfort in married life,
And there are crosses too.
Friendship founded on esteem,
LIES budding blast endurcs;
| 1t will not vanish in dream,
And such trust is yours.
The rite which now hath Joined your hand
Will not insure content
| Religion forms the strongest band
And love the best cement
It's not the way to scold at large,
Whst'er proud reason boast,
But those their duties best discharge,
Who condescend the most.
Mutual attempts to serve or please
Each other, will endear,
That you may draw the yoke with ease,
Nor discord interfere.
And when you two consign your breath,
And God alone knows when,
So live that you may part in death,
To meet with JOY again.
Yours truly, X.

AFFECTIONS BETRAYED,

A dapple dude sailing under the cogno-
men of Angel, played the aneelical lover to
fair widow whose gentle heart palpitated
gently, lovingly and blissfully towards him;
but, alas, sheloved dapple dude too well, and
not wisely, for he borrowed her beautiful
gold watch and chain and several other or
naments so becoming to his dudeship and
skipped out. But the fair widow was equal
to the occasion, she set the wires to working
and had him apprehended en- route to Chi
cago, some where this side OF Emporia,
where he was only too anxious to disgorge
his lady loves goods and chattels.
