GEUDA SPRINGS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Hon. c. II. Mitchell. one of the best
attorneys in southern Kansas, and a
great railroad worker, was at Topeka
on legal business last week.
There are four chartered railroads
which are expected TO extend their
line of road in and through the city of
Geuda Springs. The Fort Smith.
Wellington & Northwestern; Wichita,
Geuda Springs & Fort Smith: Geuda
Springs, Caldwell, Harper Il North
western, and the Geuda Springs, Cald-
well & Western, the latter of which is
sure to build by the first of April, 1886,
provided the weather is so men and
teams can work.
The railroad petitions for the G., $,
Z. K W. have all been signed up by
majority of the voters of each of the
several townships through which il
runs, and by thus having majority of
the voters names TO the petition i'll

The parties whom Allen named as COM

act of robbery. Another man named
Caldwell is said to have been in the

was made. Allen made complaint
before Alderman Budd, Monday, who
