MIR. Pattee's article in Tuesdays EAGLE il
of such an indefinite nature that we can
scarcely understand what he means. He evi
IDENTIFY wants to say something to defend his
work and does not know how That is right
but he should have better plan than by mis-
representing some one else We were not
hitting at his stay at Independence No
doubt he sprang from there. We advise the
gentleman to go by way of Pittsburg the
Eext time he visits the metropolis and visit
our references given and he no doubt would
see some genuine crayon portraits.
We also insist on our dear brothers
calling at our studio any day between
eight and six o'clock and any information he
would wish will be gladly given.
Our friend intimates that we have done
nothing in this line before we came to Wich-
tia. Thanks, Bro Pattee, we indeed feel very
much flattered over our progress. The only
trouble with the shotgun was that the muz-
Zle was pointed iii the wrong direction. Oh
no, our quarters are not uncomfortable, We
rather enjoy the acquaintance we have made
with our artistic brother: and trust we NAV
not be forgotten. If Mr.. Pattee has spent
years at the work in New York and elsewhere
as he would have us understand, we would
advise him to quit the art business and come
to the conclusion that he has missed his call
ing. Go into some other business, and don't
bulldoze the public any longer.
Yes, wounded birds always flutter The gen
tleman says hit BIRDS That expression
must be original with him. We understand
from this that he was hit" We are willing
that the honorable gentleman criticise our
work as much as his dwarfed intellect will
allow. We are sorry if we have hurt his
feelings
I'VE borrow i'm our sorrow
From the sun of some tomorrow
Don't be discouraged, dear brother Be
patient and by and by you may be able to
make genuine free hand crayon portrait.

THAT SQUATTER BUSINESS.

One of the EAGLES hired men yesterday
met gentleman who gave his name as A.
Bass and who stated that he was one Of the
party who went to the vicinity of Anthony
and took possession of certain lands short
time ago, which action came near precipitat-
ing bloody conflict between those claiming
the land and. the squatters. z Mr. Bass says
the lands that his party occupied were tracts
the entries of which had been cancelled and
that had reverted back to the government
He says the trouble grew out of the action of
other parties who, learning of their occu-
pancy Of the lands mentioned, undertook to
occupy and appropriate other lands in the
vicinity the entries of which had been sus-
pended, for investigation but had not been
cancelled These last parties believing they
had the same rights as those occupying lands
where the entries We're declared null and
acting upon that belief they prepared to de-
fend themselves in possession of the claims.
After much parleying and clustering it
was finally agreed that the squatters should
be paid a stipulated amount of money in con-
sideratiOn of their vacating the premises.
This was done all around, Mr.. Bass says and
the squatters vacated the premises and left
for other parts, some to Mcpherson and some
to other points.

"CRAZY' AGAIN.

Mr.. A. d. Stryker got crazy again last
Monday night, and entertained his wife by
breaking the furniture in his house. II,
played havoc with everything of movable
nature and filled the air with peculiar sort
of parlance 1t is stated that he would have
abused his wife had it not been for some par
ties who interfered
Yesterday afternoon he sailed out upon
the streets still under the influence of the Gin
sanity attack" He waltzed into B. K.
Browns store On East Douglas avenue and
when Henry Brown was not looking appro-
priated to himself A Colts revolver He
wrapped it up in piece of paper and stuck
it in his pocket and started east. After
he had left the store gentle
man who saw him remove the
revolver told Henry Brown of the fact,
and he Immediately secured Doc Worrall to
regain his property. He followed him few
blocks and Overhauled him and proceeded to
recapture the revolver. Stryker related at
first that he had no revolver, but an investi-
cation proved the contrary Doc started
back with him, but kept an eye on his pris-
oner, who was very much inclined to shove
his hands into his pockets. Finally Do; told
him to "keep his id uncultivated paws out
Of his pockets" and he made it point to
do So
On reaching Browns store the revolver was
returned, and Mr.. Brown stating that he did
not wish to prosecute Stryker for his action,
he was set at liberty.

INSTITUSE NOTES.

| Yesterday was wet, weter, weteSt. and
think if the Quaker poet had been here he
would have said rain, rain, beautiful rain and
signed his name John G. Whittier, and said
it was equal to anything they ever had in
Haverhill or Amesburg Everyone who
came in the morning said it was quite rain
and that crowd that had to stay out until
the janitor woke UP said it was damp weather
! 1eavng off the letter p)
The attendance was not quite as good as
it would have been if the weather had been
fair and the enrolment was not as large al
though the number was l06 that is, under
the circumstances large number.
The classes are getting into their places
and taking hold of the work assigned to them
as promptly as could be expected on the
second day, but if the teachers have life and
energy the pupils will be likely to catch the
feeling and that is the case here. Our in
stluctors are equal to any emergency that
arises and all teachers know that rainy
day is the day to be dreaded
Mr. Jay has his usual branches, physiology,
arithmetic history and constitution. The
recitations were good.
Mr.. Hammond has two branches, phIoso-
ply and bookkeeping.
Mr.. Schulz will make success of
grammar. As it is usually taught
it is a dry subject but his manner
of presenting it divest grammar Of its ter
rors. His other classes are showing an inter
est in their work
Mr.. Pence is keeping up his reputation as
teacher of penmanship, and his classes in
reading, arithmetic, etc, are getting at work
in good earnest, so that as soon as the
weather is little more favorable we shall
have some good reports to make
There are quite a number of new faces
here, but still there is quite large number
of the old members that have been here year
after year, making it quite an advantage to
the new members as well as to the instruc-
tors.
If there was not some benefit to be derived
from it some of the oldest ones would have
found it out before this time, and it is to be
hoped that school boards will appreciate the
efforts teachers are making to perfect them
selves in their work. Yours as USUAL.

The New Town OF Monteruma,

We are informed that business lots al
Montezuma. for which 500 was paid few
weeks ago, have been sold during the last
week for from sl25 10 Sl3s: a very good adj
vance This was before the knowledge of
the electrical well was promulgated. The
company gives residence lot in each half
block. if suitable house is built upon it, A
general store could do fine business and a
good building can be erected for that pur
nose Immediately The wonderful curative
properties of the electrical well bid fair to
make Montezuma the Kansas sanitarium in
a short time and to double the value of prop
erty there in thirty days. GIFT

A SPAT.

Late Monday night two lads had straight
out from the shoulder knock down on West
Douglas avenue. They were by themselves
when they commenced operations but the
racket that ensued soon attracted crowd
The combative spirit seemed to spread among
the spectators and for time it looked like a
general pitched battle. The appearance of
the police had pacifying tendency and the
outsiders were soon made more peacable
One of the first couple that opened the ball
was captured but the other utilized the dark
ness and made his escape. The boys are on
to him, and when he makes his appearance
in town will in all probability be called upon
for his debts.

GATHERING SHAME.

A she devil from Kansas City came to this
place few days ago, rented a couple of cot
tage residences and had them fitted up and
furnished in elegant style This done she
left Monday night for the first named place
to procure q. corps of the demi moude to oc-
cupy her NV quarters here. She announced
before leaving that she would have lot of
invitations printed in the most elegant style
and on her return would send them out TO
the bon ton, tony gentlemen Of the city. This
will serve as a conspicuous target for the
good people Of the city, the press and the po-
lice to shoot at The foregoing expose of the
to-be glittering shame is our opening shot.

SHOOTING TOURNAMENT.

Yesterday was the opening of the shooting
tournament which has attracted considerable
attention throughout the city and elsewhere
for some time. The heavy rain in the morn

Atchison, Leavenworth and Topeka were
