A v,,a, From oenerel Manager Wood.

General Manager Wood, Of the Arkanas
Valley Railroad company. better known Is
the Fl. Smith, Little Rock and Arkansas
City line, arrived in Wichita night before
last Yesterday in company with ex-Coun-
ty Treasurer John Tucker be went down to
Wellington. After their return Manager
Wood made US quite call during which the
railroad propositions Of the EAGLE were
thoroughly discussed. be having been care
full reader OF its columns since last spring.
He is convinced that Wichita has grand fu-
ture before her not only a. q commercial city
but as q beef and pork packing point, and
as a grain market with q choice between
northern and southern markets and north
ern and southern railway outlets. As to the
extension of railway down this valley to
the Mississippi river he is better posted than
any man with whom we ever talked, and It
is not surprising that he should be when it
i. remembered that he has made this pro-
posed link to trans-continental road the
study of years. He came hare to antagonize
no local or railway interests, but be believes
that the time has come for the settling ofths
Indian Territory question BY opening it.
The interests Of Kansas and the states
of the lower Mississippi valley demand that
this bar should te let down and he hoped
congress would SO see it snd so act. We
told him that the EAGLE had opposed the
Boomer scheme for the rottenness at its bot
tom and the opening OF the Territory until
southwestern Kansas, which is a finer and
better country, should be settled, but that
now being accomplished we were ready to
urge upon our delegation or congress the
desirsbility of immediate action. Mr.. Wood
in speaking Of their railway interests said
his people had the means provided and were
anxious to construct. Independently, or in
conjunction with friendly line, road
through the Territory, along the great
Arkansas valley, just as soon as
the necessary right Of way could be had
from congress. AZ to the traffic Of such a
line, its connections, eastern termini, sea-
boards, etc, more was said than can be
crowded into the space of brief article.
He is delighted with Wichita and the evil
depces Of push which be meets on all sides.
and says he has no fears that such . people
will ever sleep on their rights. Before the
talk was ended we assured him that Wichita
was wide-awske to the advantages Of a
Mississippi river outlet, that we knew that
We we're nearer the great southern systems
and their connections than is Kansas City,
and that when the time came his company
could depend upon harmonious and effective
action upon the part of not only Wichits
but of this entire section of the valley. Mr.
Wood leaves tor St Louis this morning.

OUTSIDE THE CITY.

The EAGLES call for police protection Al
the union depot, which was instiga.ed by
the high-handed operations of the gang who
infest that neighborhood, created quite a
Juror on the streets yesterday morning and
the question Was discussed by all classes.
The city authorities claim that even if Gil
bert's addition is within the corporation, the
union depot is not because there is strip
lsn feet wide extending along the Santa Fe
track, lying between DR.. Burleigh's pro-
perty and the railroad.
The railroad company will soon find il
necessary to protect their patrons sgains,
garoters and highwaymen, and if their de-
pot is outside the corporation they should
move it into the city or furni.h protection
in the country to the patrons Of the road.
The community are worked up 10 q high
pitch of excitement in consequence of the late
atrocities perpetrated in that looality and are
that something be done to pre-
vent repetition of such deeds - have been

There was very fair audience at the
opera house last night to witness the rather
comic play, "Crazy Patch" The play was
not Of high order, but there was some very
fair acting and really good singing. The
singers were repeatedly spplauded, which
was evidence they gave satisfaction to the
audience. Some acts were well presented.
Eddie Girard, as the Irish policeman, did
very good comic acting and was loudly ap-
planded. On the whole the play was pro-
ductive Of considerable mirth.

THE ALLEGED MURDERER.

James Drain, the alleged Clear water muir
derer, was seen at the Fort Scott depot yes
terday morning by an EAGLE reporter. He
says he resides near kingman and was on
his way to Fort Scott, for which point he
had purchased ticket The way the muir
der racket came about, he says. was that
some fellows at the depot were telling some
big jesse James stories, and he, in order to
down the yarns, said he had murdered man
near Clearwater. All the time while he was
in the hands of his captors, at Greenwich,
he was closely guarded, and was not near so
funny as when he told the story that led to
his arrest. The way the story came to
Sheriff Fisher, he could not, in view of his
clear duty, do otherwise than order his ar
rest The sheriff went after him in buggy
in company with another man. and Fisher
brought him here on the train, but on the
way he was satisfied no murder had been
committed. The railroad conductor gave
him check in lieu of his ticket, and the
sheriff went with him yesterday morning to
get the conductor to take him on to Fort
Scott, on the check When he was about
to board the train the sheriff warned him
to not tell any more Jesse james stories.
