A LIVELY RUNAWAY.

The liveliest runaway of the week happen
ed last evening about o'clock. The team
which took the most active part was hitched
to heavy farm wagon, and was in charge Of
two boys and years of age, who were ped
ding apples on the street. Near the gas
works the younger one was left in charge of
the team, when they became frightened and
started down river street to Douglas avenue.
turned east, and with increased speed dashed
up the avenue to Main, where they turned
north The street was crowded with people
and vehicles, and there was quite an Animal
ed scene as the wagon went forward sending
samples of the fruit on both sides to mark its
eral buggies, and collision with the street
car was avoided by the driver wav-
ing paper from the rear platform before
the running team. The spring wagon of W.
r. Sullivan, standing in front OF Stein
hausers grocery in their way, was upset and
Mr. Sullivan who was in the wagon thrown
out. The GOODNESS of Mr.. Sullivan in man
aging his team of young horses prevented
them from catching the epidemic and start
ing in pursuit. Finally from sheer exhaust
ion, the runaways were easily captured in
front of the Boyd boarding house. The re-
porter arrived at the stopping place few
minutes afterwards, and found the boot
blacks and street gamins having quite feast
out of the remains of the apples.
The little fellow to whom the horses belong
ed came running up crying; and although
badly scared was delighted at getting his
team that he dried his tears. He said his
name was Johnny Benson and that he and
his companion Charley Plank had came
from one hundred and fifty miles east of
Wichita TO sell their wagon load of apples
and that they were encalnped with party a
mile northwest of the city.
There was little damage done to the wagon
or horses Mr.. Sullivan, however, says that
his vehicle is considerably used up, but APP

Councilman p v. Healy returned yester-
day from his trip to Minneapolis, and judg
ing from the way he looks one would think
that sort of thing was healthy exercise at
least for him. He has many thrilling deeds
Of adventure and high sounding exploits to
relate, and the boys think it comes handy to
have him around while the weather is
naughty and real estate callers are rather
slow to put in an appearance Among the
blood stirring stories he has on deck is one
in which he saved the lives of a couple
who were accidentally dumped overheard in
the river He happened to be near in bost
and worked the oars hard enough to arrive
in time to be useful.
He, Of course reports lots Of fun and fine
jolly old time The party were all well and
everyone happy. He does not seem to be
ashamed to say that he stole three EAGLES
from Mr.. John Exton, who put all the blame
on Uncle Sam and expressed himself as being
about ready to socede.
He is yet Of the opinion that Wichita and
Kansas is the place for men Of enterprise and
push to locate, as they can get more
for work expended than anywhere he
visited The drouth here so mnch feared by
our people and the subject of belabored ar
ticles written by some out-state reporters
who were anxious to fill space and entertain
readers he considers nothing like as severe as
in some districts though which he passed.

still in the lead and could boast of being the
garden spot Of the world.
One thing decidedly noticeable in
his trip was the great anxiety OF
people in every town and city to learn of
Wichita No sooner had they found out that
a lad was from this place than they began to
put questions at him faster than Philadel-
phia lawyer could answer. They would open
the ball by saying they had heard so and SO
and so and so and would end with question
asking if the entire catalogue was true. On
being assured it was and more even than
that was true they would commence tearing
their eyelids apart and wear a sort Of Il
wonder expression" He relates having met
several who stated that they were coming
here this fall to invest and
look up the facilities Afforded
for starting various kinds of enterprises.
Many would enquire about the business ofthe
city and were anxious TO learn if there was
room for just one more in their profession.
Mr. Healy of course, being thorough
bred Wichitaian, did not spare anything in
his efforts to tell Of the superior advantages
afforded here for almost any kind OF business
His friends will give him credit of being
equal TO the emergency on every occasion
and do not fear that any one who talked with

WELL AGAIN.

Carl McClintock, the wife murderer, is res
ported as all well and sound as far as the
wound is concerned, which he inflicted upon
himself. None Of his physicians have for
some weeks called upon him. and his condi-
ton is thought to DE as good if not little
better than on the day before he committed
the shocking crime. He is carefully watched
by guard consisting of two gentlemen who
are paid by the county. Many of the people
think it would be far less expensive and more
proper to keep him in the establishment made
especially for the criminal par: of mankind.
They do not see that he should be favored
more than any other man of his class.

HERE 1T Is AGAIN.

Yesterday afternoon the air reverberated
with the war cries that came from a house OF
i'll shape located on the alley between Main
and Market streets and between First
and Second. The racket had not continued
long until policeman made his appearance
upon the scene and served n sort of reg
ulator to the excessive energies that had been
so Unexpectedly turned loose.
1t seems that the racket was started by a
couple of the inmates, who soon joined into a
melee, and some of the spectators, thinking
that a little more fuel added to the flames
would not be amiss. rendered their assistance
No rcvolvers were actually brought into use,
but some were presented. The movable fur
niture all came in good play and was utilized
with a characteristic energy When the af
fair was over the scene was not unlike that
of battlefield Some OF the parties were es-
corted to the calaboose.
