The EAGLE gave it as an opinion
that the president had inexcusably
Numbered in issuing his order for thu
removal OF 100000 head of cattle from
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reserva
tons. We said such order would ben.
eft no one nor benefit any one except
the military. and that all the Indians
except the disconnected Chyennes
who alone were allowed to talk to
Sheridan, would be dissatisfied. Now
comes word that the Indians are in.
dignant and openly say that the whole
matter has been misrepresented to
Cleveland. Oh the wisdom of the

EUREKA, KAs.. July 29.-The firm of
Hackett Bros, consisting of A. N. & j.
Hackett, shippers and dealers in live stock,
to-day made an assignment in favor of their
creditors. Their fled schedule of indebted
ness aggregates over $4,000 while their as
sets make total of less than half that
amount. 1t is believed their Indebtedness
is much greater than stated. Much indig-
nation is expressed against the parties, and
it is generally believed to be an attempt at
fraud and swindle. A large part of the
of $1,000 Monday to brother-in-law at
Bloomington, Ills, lends additional force to
the charge of fraud. The assignment was
made to G. N. Hackett, brother of the as
signees, who is prac,icing law in this city.
