TAKE NOTICE.

The attention Of the proper committees
having in charge the charity fund Of the
city and OF private organizations or enter
prises, is hereby called to two worthy fami-
lies, who by force Of circumstances are
placed in destitute condition, and should
at once receive prompt relief.
Mr.. Gay and family live in tent on Pine
street between Main and Market, and are in
a distressed condition. The head of the
family Is carpenter, who came here last
fall with but little means, and now that the
building season is closed he has had no en-
ployment for such a length of time that he
is penniless, and the femilv Is in destitute
condition.
Tina same can be said of the condition OF
family named Newton that live in an old
and uncomfortable house on Water street
near the Second ward school house. These
families are said to be worthy and good peo-
pie who never before were compelled to ac-
cept charity, but as no one can tell what u
day may bring forth, and as circumstances
shape our ends rough hew them as We may,
so these people, though it be humiliating
have been and will be for time, compelled
10 accept assistance. Their neighbors have
been doing what they can to relieve them
but they cannot in justice bear the entire
burden. There is poor fund provided for
such cases and this article is intended to
call attention and prompt action to
these two of which it speaks.

BEFORE THE JUSTICES.


The boom in criminal cases is still on.
Three state cases were fired through yester-
day. There were two up before Justice
Hobbs, both If which went against the
state.
In the case Of the state against J I. Crow
all. in which the defendant was charged
with having stolen $50 from hi father. after
hearing the testimony the prosecuting at
tomcy recommended that a verdict Of ma
licious prosecution be entered. thus saddlins
the costs on the prosecuting witness. The
evidence bore ouf that conclusion, and the
court rendered a verdict in accordance. re-
marking that It WAS the worst case of mali
cious prosecution that ever came before
him. The testimony for the defense WAS TO
tho effect that the old man was gay othario.
that he had on several occasions made
improper proposals 10 his sons wife snd had
written her letters asking her to 90 with him
Tho conclusion was that the old chap want
ed to gc; tie son locked up 50 he could lay
seize to the wife'> affections unmolestcd. lie

the fu,l cost, of the suit which were $685..

TO ,crape up the amount and more too.
The other case that went aCains; the
STATE was tha; against f. Vandervcr, for NJ
alleged assault on VIM. Tilguer. The facts
in this case are tina; the two had horse
race, the prosecuting witness betting his
whole rig, horse. buggy and harness against
the defendants horse Defendant won and
the layout was turned over TO him by the
other chap. The looser soon after tried 70
buy 4he buggy and harness, the defendant
offered them 10 him Cor So and prosecuting
witness first offered him $40. them SIS and
finally $50. Il must have been fire rig.
The bargain was not made, however. and
trouble existed over the matter. and the
prosecuting witness claims that the defend
ant drew revolver on him and threatened
10 shoe; him.
1t was a weak ease and the commonwealth
lost the game.

THE LITTLE RIVER AGAIN.
To the Editor of the Eagle:
:, Il

To the Editor of the Eagle;
In the issue of the daily of December Esd
an article appeared in which you condemn
the Little river in no measured terms, as
being full Of moss and fungi, and the ice
used from it could not be healthy. If this
article was intended TO advertise one Of the
Oldest firms in Wichita, would prefer TO
select my own and make ii paying one, it
being untrue in every respect, for We have
never had such beautiful clear ice. Uniform
in thickness, free from snow or any particle
of moss, or dirt Of any kind, and as / have
been beset with inquiries from far and near,
| wish you to publish this and disabuse the
minds of the public at once.
Now the fact of the moss being in large
quantities On the Little riTer is true. 1t is
floating moss which falls from overhang
ing trees in the fall, there being 40 current
now. This moss i at the will Of the back
water Of the Big river, or the wind, as it may
be. The moss i no worse than leaves.
But the fungi, or growing moss, from
the bottom Is a long ropey, Shiny matter.
growing only in stagnant water. which, l
am very sorry TO say, increasing quite fast
IL shallow water, and if il continues to fiji
up AT the rate it does at present, there will
not be two feet of water in the river in 1886.
In 1872 when built my first ice house, the
depth was from eight to twelve feet from
Riverside to mouth Of river. Now you will
find the only deep water from the upper ice
house to little below the lower one which
will average three feet, this is owing to the
many springs between those points and have
always there making ii difficult to get ice un-
less very cold weather. for TIE springs cut
air holes, a they are termed, the first warm
day. Thi- !, where the whole of the ice was
taken and must be Of the purest kind. The
Ice at the upper house could not be used
and 1t was great expense to us TO cut
channel down to the water works Ia float
j; up.
Now the trouble Of the thing is the mill
dam. 1t must come out or the consequence
will be serious, and ! do hope my fellow
citizens as one man will come to the polls
next April and vote for an administration
that will take prompt action on ITS removal.
pledge my interest and support to any
mayor and council of that stamp, he be Re-
publican or Democrat, prince or peasant.
GEO. L. HARRIS.
We don't see in what respect the above
facts differ from those set out by this paper.
Every point made by US is admitted. The
article was not written for or against Mr..
Harris ice business but without reference TO
him and solely in the interest of the health
of this city. He admits that the river is fill
ing up, that the moss is there, that there is
little or no current, that is all We claimed

PROBABLY MURDERED.
The Strange Disappearance OF Charles q.
Hzight

The EAGLE IS in receipt of a letter from
w ID. Bebee, Of Ti.usvillc, Pennsylvania,
giving an account Of the disappearance of
Chas. Y. Haight. somewhere in the vicinity
of Wichita and who with Haigh;'s family
and parent, Is anxious 10 get some clue Ia
the lost one. lie says: Charles Il. Haight.
= son of A. w. Haight, Of Cat;arasus, and
brother of our respected townsman, Capt;
John. j. Haigh,. About seventeen year.
ago was married TO Miss Susie Kline, a
young lady well known ard generally liked.
Soon after marriage they started west and
located on a farm which they purchased
about five miles south of Columbus, Chero-
kec county, has. Lately Mr.. Haight's friends
have been shocked by report that
fee had been IA victim of foul play.
Mr. Haigbt left Columbus on the 23d day
Of September, taking with him team of
horses. harness and hack valued at three
hundred dollars. He had on his person q
watch worth about sixty-fve dollars and
twenty-five dollars in money. He started
for Wichita FOR the purpose of selling his
team and rig, He arrived at Wichita Sep
TENDER 2Sth, and stayed all night with AN
Old acquaintance, IA former neighbor. The
next morning he went TO visit his step broth
cr, Norman Calhoun, who resides on a
farm about fifteen miles from Wichita.
He made short visit, returning to
Wichita that nigh; and FILLING TO make the
sale Of hi> team a, be- had hoped, hc started
the next morning, September 40, for home.
He stayed over night at Leon, thirty miles
from Wichita. This j, the last positive in
formation that can be- obtained of him.
His team was brought back TO Wichita in a
jadcd condition, showing unmistakable CYL
dence Of hard driving on October j, and sold
10 livery stable keeper and dealer in horses
for $50, less than half their actual value.
The livery man utterly refuses TO
give any Information AZ 10 the
parties who purchased the team
1t was further learned that the team was
sold TO the horse dealer by two young men
who doubtless murdered Mr.. Haight before
obtaining possession. At the time of his
Disappearance he was member in good
Standing of the 6. 4. Il. post at Columbus.
He was in his forty-third year, and had sui-
fered much during his later years from
wounds and troubles induced by exposure
during tie war. lie leaves wife and seven
children to moucn his loss, the oldest child
being but twelve. while the youngest Is but
one year old. The Grand Army post at
Columbus have taken the matter in hand,
and have promptly furnished the funds nee
cssary to a vigorous search for his body and
the prosecution of the guilty parties. Many
Of the members Of the S3rd regiment and
the i;h Pennsylvania cavalry viii be partic-
ulurly interested in the unfortunate fate Of
