THE ABDUCTION CASE.
smaiiey's Prisoner aud Another Ar
raigned Before Judge Lee.

Constable Smalley returned from Den,
yer yesterday and brought with him Pau
line Woodruff, Tor CORTLAND, as the Den
yer papers call herr whom he originally
apprehended at Georgetown, Col, but
who was temporarily taken out of his GUS
tody IN a writ of habeas corpus at Denver.
The history Of the case, 10 far as the pro-
ceedings in Denver were concerned, has
heretofore been given. Mrs. Woodruff
failed to give the $1,000 stay bond as re-
CURED by Judge Rogers, and therefore
she was brought to Cheyenne.
Yesterday she was arrnigned before
Judge Lee, together with Annie Brennan,
who stands charged as Il co-defendant in
the crime of abduction. Both defendants
were placed under bonds to the mount of
5000 each and the hearing in the case
postponed until Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock. Pauline, according to Mr..
Smalley's statement, had no desire to
fight the matter in Denver at all, and it
was not by her request-or desire hat a
writ was taken out, but this move in the
game was made by some o%ficious inter
meddler at Denver who was advised by
kilograms from Cheyenne that Smalley
had gone down there for the purpose of
arresting Pauline. Smalley saw the two
children, or at least ascertained where
they were. but he. of course, did not at
tempt to bring them back to Cheyenne,
as that was not what he went for.

EMMA MALLOY.

A special to the Leavepworth Times
says that on Saturday, in Springfield
the grand jury of Green county re.
turned two indictments against Emma
Malloy, charging her with being par.
ty to the bigamous message of George
Graham aud Cora Lee, and as an &C
cessory after the fact i'm the murder OF
Sarah Graham.
This was surprise to many, as il
was thought that the silence as to
Mrs. MollOy at the time of the indict-
ment of Cora Lee indicated that the
grand jury had sounded the depths in
the ease but it would seem from the
finding announced today that the ex-
animation has been patiently pro-
longed through and that the jury has
become possessed ofevidence not here.
tofore made public, that Cora Lee, who
was indicted about three weeks ago
as a principal iu the murder has en-
tered a plea for q continuance until
the November term of court setting
forth among other reasons that she j;
enciente and that her life would be i'm.
periled to come into court at this
time. 1t is not known whether the
continuance will be granted and in the
meantime she has been returned to
Polk County for safe keeping.

THAT MARRIAGE.

Now that things have cooled off g
little, the society writers are going for
Grover and his lacky, Dan Lamont,
with vengeance. 1t now seems that
everybody, including the guests, are
disguised at the way the matter was
put through. Dan Lamont knows
about as much about those things as
the chambermaid of livery stable.
All the splendid decorations were for
nobody. But where the he old ssla-
mander of the white house is getting
it, the worst is because he forced that
young girl TO go 10 him Instead of his
going to her. She was girl, but a
girl sent whirling all night from New
York to Washington, the next day
being put in by a continual round o:
excitcments, and after the marriage,
late in the evening, rushing her
through Il back way 10 Il special train
and all the way Ia the top Of the Ale
gheny mountains in Il sleeping car, or
in other words, this young woman
was subjected to a greater strain than
many older and stronger people could
have stood up under. These are some
of the things that are being hurled at
the affair, or as some writers put it
down, rs grossn2ss, at best, selfish
thoughtfulness.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Commonwealth, in summing up
the real estate transactions of last
week at Topeka, says:
The real estate market during the
week was firm and all classes of prop
erty in good demand. The fact that
work has been commenced in earnest
on the Kansas, Nebraska aud Dakota
road, and the assurance that tho Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific had let
the contract for grading forty miles
of rosd-bed from St. Joseph towards
Topeka, in great measure is respon-
si5le for this state of affairs. During
the week many eastern capitalists
were IN the city seeking Investments,
and it is stated that ten days hence
will witness some of the heaviest deals
yet recorded in the history Of the city.
The demand for inside property was
greater than for year past, while
outside deals reported an advance, the
transfers amounting TO nearly S75,-
600 in this class alone.
When we tell our readers that the
total sum Of the transactions for last
week in Topeka amounted to $780,
TAT 6S, or less by $4,000 than single
day, Saturday, for Wichita, the size
and Importance of our own boom may
be more thoroughly appreciated.

WICHITA AND KANSAS CITY.

Mr.. Phil. ID. Armour is reported to
have said recently, THE location of
Kansas City is as good, if not better,
than Chicago. We are nearer the
great corn-producing belt than Chi
cago. Where there is the most corn
there the hogs will be raised. The
nearest packing house in this district,
railroad facilities being equal, has the
advantage of this reduction" Wilson
County Citizen.
The same train OF resources and
facts which originally carried the hog
packing business from Cincinnati west
to Chicago and ST. Louis, and later TO
Kansas City, will inevitably carry that
business, at least largely, still further
westo southwest. Southern Kansas,
western Missouri, northwestern Ar
kansas aud the Indian Territory will
constitute the corn-fieid par excel
lence of this country within five or
ten years. Already the corn yield of
a few counties surrounding Wichita
has attracted the attention of the en-
tire country. A county which could
make up, as a gift,in a few days thirty
one cars of corn, and never miss il
from her overlooking bins, whose
cattle and hogs are the
admiration of live stock buyers and
shippers generally, and which county
is backed by u half-dozen Others of the
same character, all in 8 single block,
will not be long in settling the matter
or the point at which their products
are to tie cared for. Phil Armour
owns Kansas City in one sense, but he
don't own the Chicago, Rock Island
4 Pacific railruad, nor the Chicago,
ST. Joe & FIT. Worth, whose manage
ments say that the place to pack the
hogs aud cattle of this country is in
Kansas and not in Missouri, and that
they will, in order TO secure the larger
haul, see 20 it that the necessary capt.
tai is invested at Wichita and other
Kansas points TO handle the products
of Kansas. Phil Armour's logic is
good. What he said came of his own
experience. His mistake is in think

he leaned over the balcony during a
brisk fall of hail and fired the decep-

the Rock Island today let the first of
its contracts for the building of its
contemplated extension in Kansas.
The portion let was a section for forty
miles from st. Joseph Westward which
is to &c graded and track laid inside
of thirty days. This is to be followed
by the construction of 400 miles this
year which will include ane branch to
the west and north into Nebraska and
another due south through Topeka
and Wichita to and through the In

LETTER FROM OKLAHOMA

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Everything in quiet on the OklahO-

along cattle are not allowed to lay

ten 10 ninety per cent. ! will give you
one of the many instances. A man

east part of the Cheyenne res
ovation last fall of our brand about
about twenty-three hundred head
Their man told the writer of this to-
day that they have only gathered so
far few over six hundred. They
think the rest are dead. The Chica-
saw people have lost about an aver
age of about 80 per cent. Cattle are
very thin in flesh in all parts Of the
Indian territory. There will be no
fat cattle in this country before the
middle of August.
Everything is quiet in the Chicassw

weeks, yet corn and vegetables look
well.
The Cheyenne and Arapahoe In
dians are very quiet. They have no
money since the cattle men are run
out, consequently cannot purchase
ammunition. About fifty per cent.
of their ponies starved 10 death last
winter. They are broke and afoot,
so they cannot go on the warpsth
