Fire. Crackers The Cause Of The
Homicide.
The Facts as Detailed by Eye
Witnesses.

Matt Amoss, col, was shot and al
most instantly killed by Joseph A.
Reach, white man, at about $50
o'clock Saturday evening, at the cor
ner of 9th and Main streets. The
streets were pretty well filled with
people and there were large number
of witnesses to the killing. The YER
sion given below is based on the state
ments of two sober, reliable witness
es who were very near the parties and
saw the whole fuss.
HOW 1T CAME UP.
Earlier in the day Amoss had been
arrested for shooting crackers on the
street, in violation of the city ordi-
nance prohibiting it. lie was put un-
der arrest and released under prom
Use to appear in court Monday. Co
ing up 10 Reach near the northwest
corner of Main and Ninth streets he
accused hIm of reporting him to the
police. Reach denied the charge
when Amos replied "You are a Cd
id liar" Reach again said
81 did no such thing. Go away and
let me alone" Amoss then caught
Reach by the arm and with the re-
mark "You are a id liar and a
thieving s-n Of b-h" struck him
Oh the right side of the face with his
fist. Reach staggered back and as
Amos came at him again fired and
killed him. The pistol was an En-
glish Bulldog, No. 80, and was self
cocker. The ball entered near the
heart and Amoss fell like beef and
never uttered word. He ceased
breathing before he could be takei
to his home on the corner of 18th anC

outline Of the plot is appended: The
first fct represents an apartment in q
country house near Fontainebleau,
and introduces nearly all the ch4rac-
tiers, including some visitors from
Paris, whose arrival is distinguished
by important incidents, and has
dire bearing upon the pay,
the keynote OF which lie struck ere tue
curtain has fallen upon a pathetic
picture OF the heroine, whose scenes
have included the recital OF dramatic
story and love scene. In the second
act the spectator is transported from
the hero's tra1quil home 20 all the
hustle Of business life in Paris
anu the Office Of the foun-
dry, in which his perplexiIies
and trials are shown, Is the scene OF
the heroine's self sacrihcs. The cur
tain falls to words that supply an
epitome to the plot: go, faithful
heart! The world seems lesgued

liant atmosphere OF a drawing room In
Paris succeeds the more prosaic
one Of the foundry; the ladies
are having an after dinner chat, mo-
nopolized by one Of their number, q
vivacious girl OF the period, whose
conversation is full OF "modern in
stancee." This act presents q series
OF scenes, now grave, now gay, all
leading up to q stormy climax, In
which the heroine resents an I'M
endurable insult and finds an un-
looked for friend. In the fourth act
we are once more at FontSineblesu,

the Vaccinations OF their enemies,
highly emotional scene brings the

The fortunes of western cities are SO

A swEET-scENTED REFORMER

The EAGLE was taken to task by
some of its lady friends, as also by
some local prohibitionists, a year or
two ago for rather rough and slurring
remarks about Mrs. "Pat" Malloy and
some other women, who were ding
doneine the members of the legisla-
ture for woman suffrage, better laws,
and so forth. Charlie Graham, under
oath. on the witness stand, testified,
day before yesterday, in the case in
which his father was being tried for the
murder of his mother that he had seen
his father and Mrs. Malloy sleep in the
same bed. These were the women, or
at least one of them, who went about
the state under The direction of tie
ST. John crowd teaching decent people
temperance and reform. They were
found upon our street corners al
night. on dry goods boxes and ID
churches, in every important town III
the state, abusing people who wouldn't
fall in under their banner. This Wo-
man aud the man Graham started a
paper in Kansas called the "Morning
and Day of Reform" A murky
morning, and dark "day." The
Beacon, of this city, was threatened
with libel by the same outfit, because
il simply commented on a statement
that Mrs. Malloy and Graham had
registered at Kansas City as man and
wife.
Graham has confessed and will
swing. We are pleased that his last
crime was committed in Missouri in
stead of Kansas, for the reason they
hang men for murder in Missouri.
AS for the great woman suffrage and
temperance reform advocate, Mrs.
"Pat" Malloy the jury in their verdict
say that they think she is more deeply
dyed in the crime than her adopted
daughter who lived with Graham.

THEY ALL DO 1T.

In the last few days property has
declined about sixty-six per cent down
at Wichita. We do not mean to say
that the city by the Kansas Nile is
retrograding or is not still on the
boom. TIE fall was natural one,
aud one TO be expected. The informa-
ton upon which this item is based
comes through G. A. Il. people who
were recently so grandly entertained
at the encampment. One of the prop
erty owners of the city where the
EAGLE is printed. told an old veteran
last week that he had just refused So
600 in spot cash for little twenty-five
foot lot. He told the assessor yester-
day that the property was drug on
the market at 1900, and he thought
he ought to put il down on his list at
about 1000. Values, however, are
expected to assume their natural alti-
tude before the Rock Island completes
its Wichita depot.-Daily State Jour

CLEARWATER NOTES.

| To the Editor of the Eagle.
| The recent savage attack and at
tempt 10 rob Mr. Geo. Freeman, pro-
prietor of the Ross Avenue hotel, is
the subject of much comment here,
and the readers of the EAGLE perhaps
would like TO read the particulars. 1t
appears that the tramp or thug step
ped up TO Mr.. Freeman who happened
to be standing on the porch outside
of his hotel, and enquired if he could
get bed; receiving negative reply
struck Freeman heavy blow in the
face, and at the same time grabbed
him around the body, and dragged
him some fifty feet away from the no.
tel, so as TO rob him without attract
ing the attention of tie people inside.
But George thought there was a
chance for two at that kind of q game,
although the fellow was nearly twice
his size. and succeeding in getting his
hands free he took double and
twisted hold on the thugs throat,
while he also used the other in
good shape upon his frontispiece.
This, of course, was more than the
robber expected to get, We, the fight
continued for nearly fifteen minutes,
aid it being very late in the evening,
no one in town heard the racket, ntil
| Mrs. Freeman, noticing her husbands
absence, stepped 10 the door to look
for him, and, seeing the struggle be-
tween the men, she called TO some of
the guests of the house TO 90 TO her
husbands aid. Seeing this the robber
tried to get away, but was captured
after a short chase and the next morn
ing, to save time and expense of q
trial, he was escorted out of town and
given to understand that if seen again
in Clearwater he would be in great
danger of Ornameniing the end of q
stout rope.
Business has improved here very
much since the let up of cold weather
and the merchants are feeling
correspondingly happy. Clearwater is
bound 10 make one OF the leading
towns of glorious Scdgwick, as she has
the proper spirit and an energetic class
of citizens to carry her TO the fore in
every question of Improvement that
may be brought in view.
We called on Messrs. Magill & Bliss,
formerly of Wichita. and who have n
grand and extensive establishment
here filed from stem to stern and
from side TO side, with an immense
stock of dry goods, boots and shoes,
clothing, groceries, and in TACT all that
is required in general store of mag
niiicent proportions such as theirs
truly is.
Benny Bear, the accomplished
druggist aud careful notary, who is so
well known in the county, is sill in the
front rank, and is doing good trade:
feared and loved alike by the probi-
bitionists and those also who take too
much of the spirits for their own and
their families welfare.
Friend Kelly, the handsome and
genial editor Of the Times, took pity
on your correspondent while here and
kindly invited him TO SPIN over
town behind his spirited team of
ponies, for which we return our most
gracious thanks.
Clearwater is fortunate indeed in
having two newspapers that are edited
with the ability of the Times and
Leader, and their columns of ads. show
the appreciation of Clearwater mer-
chants.
