KINGMAN RERNALS.
DECEMBER 30, 1884.


To the Editor Of the Daily EAGLE
All of my public and private dispatches
from London, Paris, Berlin, including those |
from Bismarck, Duke Orsngautang, the |
Princess Chimpanzee, Don. Quixote and
Sarah Bernhard. all agree that it is cold,
and that the Christmas and New Years hol-
days offer few signs of general rejoicing. I
never saw the streets so deserted as yester-
day and to-day, a bitter north wind keeping
people indoors. What was folly to at
tempt week ago is a genuine pleasure to
day-sleigh riding. The ground being
moist and then frozen hard with little
snow, makes very good sleighing,
and tho favored few are ENJOYING
the rare opportunity, in this locality
apropos; while standing in bank recently,
the conversation came up relative to the
powers that be, and among other things it
was said: ''Look at the Wichita Daily EAGLE.
Mr.. Murdoch never allows crow to fiy
over Wichita or Sedgwick county but what |
he got shot at it," Meaning the interests
of the city and county were ably looked
after. The few spent balls from the EAGLE
that have reached Kingman has had its eff |
feet. The local press became alarmed, and |
straightway went to work as they should
have done long before, the Bulletin made its |
appearance and the EAGLE stirred UP the
animals. You make special mem
ton of sunrise prayer meet |
ing on New Years morning" Why |
There are hundred men who pray every |
morning before sunrise-for some place to
open to get drink.
This will probably be my last communica-
ton this year and unless you think stated |
salary of $4,000 Tor the next calendar year
cheap for my services might as well pull
my freight to Russia, as that government is
about to establish new naval station at |
Novorossisk, on the Black sea, to cost S10,- |
100000, and take the secretary and treasur-
ership. The only objection is the close con- |
inement and distance from Canada.
There will be a vigil and morning meet
ing at Meloy's tomorrow night The pro-
gram and exercises: Fro.n 1880 to 6, drinks;
9 to 10, meditation; anywhere from 10 till |
morning, vigil home on the New Year.

KINGMAN, Dec. %, 1884.
To the Editor of the EAGLE.
Stop thief -. g. Glasgow had stolen |
from him Sunday night, one mile south of
town, very valuable short horn red COW,
marked y on left hip, fork in ear, white spot
on face. white behind fore legs and white
on end of tail. Late this evening he got |
track of her being driven south with one
Forney. Mr.. G. would gladly pay reward |
for him and the thief He purchased her |
last fall at Col. Colcord's cattle sale and
paid $50 for her. Being fat i. is feared she
viii be served up as New Years (stolen)
beef
Weather very undecided and business
dull.
None of the high toned drinkers any long
er go into saloon, but meet at the sample
room'-Kingman's first attempt.
The Kingman Leader, this week, will
puuiisH Tie lldiue cl t.lt DuflueT ana cost OF
every building that has been erected IN the
city during the year 1884, from January to
January.
Frank Gillett bought four blocks contain
ing about twelve acres, adjoining his resi-
dence, last week. 1t is said he bought
them very low.
During the absence of Editor Foley the
local columns of the courier are under the
able management of Frank. His age would
not indicate that he had been on intimate
terms with Christ. Columbus at any time,
maybe.
John II. Rudy goes in the morning to
Joplin to pay his taxes. He is the ramrod
of the Riverside, and of course he can pay
his taxes.
Deer, antelope, prairie chicken, and quails
are plenty in the market, and cheap.
There is nothing the matter with your
correspondent but what greenbacks can
cure. Something dropped. LEON.
