poTY WATERMELoNS - GUNTRAPs-
COURT.

Five gammins were gracing the fore
ground of Justice Thomas court yesterday
morning and dozen more relieved the
back ground as eager spectators. 1t was an
anxious day for the kids. Thomas Doty
with his two men held the fort and eyed the
small boys with good deal of severity.
The constables good naturally Intercepted
the urchins and Judge Balderston IS ne
traced the lines of the complaint, stake,
steal and carry away watermelons, etc,
tried to assume graveyard tone. Even
the justice stopped his busy handling OF pa
pers to scan tia countenances of the small
bows on the anxious bench to see whose kids
had been caught in the prosecuting wit
ness watermelon patch.
However il was soon ascertained that the
two largest boys were innocent and they
were discharged. The other three were held
and owned up to taking melons. Then IT
was that the kids in the back ground pushed
up to the ratings SO as to console their un-
fortunate companions After q time the
court announced that he would fine the boy:
and proceeded 10 give them good ADVICE
and lecture on property rights including
| watermelons. Ii is hard matter even for
Judge 10 impress on the average boy that
growing watermelons possess property
rights-indeed, it appears as hard to learn
| as it is to learn that going II
swimming is wrong when they are
prohibited by their parents, but Judge
Thomas on this solemn occasion brought
tears to the eyes of the kids and when h
| passed that awful sentence of 81 and costs
they realized the force of the lecture. The,
went out to rustic for the money but i
doubtful whether they can raise it.

CANNING rxcroxY.

An EAGLE reporter visited the wichita
Canning factory yesterday, and found it
running full blast, about thirty hands being
at work. The store room already contains
immense stacks of canned goods, mostly
corn and tomatoes. They are turning out at
the rate of 5000 can. per day. The corn is
boiled in three immense kettles and then
passed into the steamer. The greatest care
is exercised to make first-class quality of
goods. About twenty women find employ
ment here, and when they are running in
full force, double that number will be en-
ployed. This will become very impor-
tant industry.

1ErR ANp MoapHiNs.

A singularly distressing case of female
depravity and the effects of dissipation and
probably beer and morphine was witnessed
last evening al the Union depot. About
4:3O p. m. well known young woman OF
the town arrived at the linton depot on the
street car. Alighting from the car she went
into the depot waiting room and in few
minutes fell upon the floor apparently
dead. The employees telephoned to the
CITY for physician and a policeman. DR..
Fabrique repaired to the scene and admin
istered some medicine and left. A police
man came and as the boys say,
took her pocket book and left also. The rail-
road bows again telehoned down town. and
soon Sheriff Fisher came and had her
removed TO the poor-house. Soon after
Marshal Cairns came TO see how matters
stood. but she had been removed before he
came. An EAGLE representative repaired to
the depot, and learned what he could Of the
affair, which was simply as above stated.
He then visited the poor-house, where be
found Mrs Stewart attending to the woman
in a little house at the rear of the house.
She lay upon bed, breathing laboriously,
but showing no other signs of life. The
reporter saw her, accompanied by another
| Young woman of the came stripe,
arrive at the postoffice in cab
about yesterday morning. At that time
she was smiling and apparently quite hap
| DIV. Her real name is unknown to the re-
porter and the name she is generally known
by is hardly the proper one TO appear IN
print. Mrs Stewart said the doctors had
but little hope of her recovery, but though,
if she lived until midnight she might gel
through all right. The reporter is OF thu
opinion that she will live to drink another
dose

90 avenue is one Of the principal streets
that will be changed and it is proposed to
