THEY DIDN'T SHOOT.

Constable Rufus Cone had little social.
istic experience at or near Darby the other
day that has not got into the papers yet
Rufe went down TO levy on some stock for
debt, and on making his business known
the whole csboodle rose in arms-not the
stock, but the old man, the old wcman and
. son. The son had shot gun, the old man
had = neck yoke and the old laly = mop
handle. Armed thus formidably they pro-
posed to resist the minion Of the Law. They
said il was the rich against the poor; that
fighting was going on all over the country
and that they might just - well begin.
In vain the lAw-giver pleaded
that he Was only doing
his duty, they decided not and the old
woman called on her brave offspring to
shoot, but just then Rufe plucked up his
usual grit, in the face of open war, and he
warned the young man that if hs raised that
gun he would kill the LAST one of them.
The youngster wilted and said, Pap it is no
use TO buck against the government" See
ing he had gained point the officer spread
on all the authority the said government is
supposed to have on tap, and be routed the
whole force snd captured the team and
other property amid the lsrEentaiion. of the

IonoRIno rnE FISH LAWS.

Scarcely . day rolls round that complaints
are not made to the writer about the viola
ton Of the Ash laws Of the state along the
Little river near this city, and requests are
made on this paper to give due notice to
such parties as are disregsrding ssid laws.
A meeting was held yesterday at which it
was resolved TO make known the tenor of
the amendment to the fish laws passed at the
last session Of the legislature, and to give
the violators of the act ample warning,
which If they failed to regard, every law
abiding citizen having the piscatorisl inter
ests Of this portion of the state at heart,
ought to zee that they are dealt with accord
ing to Law.
The amendment to the sections of the act
of 1883 were published in this paper over
. month sgo, and on two or three occas-
ions the parties have been warned OF
the penalty they incur in continuing to fsh
with nets in these waters, but it has had no
effect The law was amended so as to be
operative. chiefly ct the solicitation of c,ti-
zens of this county and more particularly OF
this city. Aler mourning the expense Of
siuices and fish ways in all the dams along
the rivers it is not just tha: the law be
allowed to remain dead letter in respect to
protecting fab from the rapacity of fish pi-
rates. The people are now aroused to the
necessity Of immediate action, but are
anxious that the law breakers have ample
warning, that they are violating the statutes
before they inform against Thorn. Heed ye
therefore this warning and remove your metz
else you will hear something drop some ane
morning.

OPEN MEAD AVENUE.

The depot question and the opening of
Mead avenue are still monopolizing good
share of public attention. From what the
reporter has learned as to the intention of
parties owning property in that locality, it
would pay those who own the right of way
through which the street will pxs to be lib
eral in their demands, as the balance of
their property will be greatly enhanced in
value If all tee good buildings talked of are
builts Mr. J. Z: Stone told the writer yes
terday that if the street is opened he will
bind himself to build brick business house
second 10 none in the city on the corner
of Mead and Douglas. The one he proposes
to erect will be 50x1l0 feet, either three or
four stories high and with all the best
modern fixtures. He says further, that
should any large firm desire to lease build
ing larger than that ne will make it one
hundred feet front 1t is likely that some
action will be taken in this matter before
long, and the long weary question of a
Santa Fe depot that has dragged IFS slow
length along for these many years, shall
finally be settled.

PINK EYE.

A gentleman told q reporter at the Santa
Fe depot yesterday that . disease. known -
pink eye, was playing havoc among the
stock in Kingman county. He said be has
been working teams on the grade Of the
Wichita and Western railroad and that
some of his stock had died with the disease.
He further stated that ninety head of horses
and cattle died there last week.
The reporter interviewed Senator John
Kelley, Who was in the city, on the question,
but be had heard nothing of it. Others
living about Kingmsn and along the WITCH
ita and Western had hcsrd nothing of pink
eye, but they had heard of lots of red eye out
in that country.
There is some red eye here, too. but no
body has died of it lately.

PUBLIC LANDS.

Register Dale, Of the United States land
Office, in conversation with an EAGLE re-
porter yesterday, on the subject of the land
laws, presumption and homestead acts, etc,
said that before long it will be pretty gener-
ally admitted that Commissioner Sparks is
sound on that subject The commissioner
wrote Mr.. Dale some time ago asking how
the old machine run out in this district.
Mr.. Dale returned . long anewer giving his
opinions at length and detailing his oppor-
tunities for knowledge on the points ill.,
quired shout; stating how the law had been
abused without any fault of his predecessor,
and strongly recommended that both the
pre-emption and timber claim acts be
abolished. Mr.. Dale's letter YVES read before
the land committee of the house of repre-
sentatives.
Mr.. Dale also requested that the commits
sionsr send . special agent out here to in
vestigate the matter and that such an off,
cial is out somewhere through tets district
now. Mr.. Dale is of the opinion that actual
settlers should have four years to make
final proof and pay for their claims, 90 that
poor persons might be able to make q por-
ton Of the purchase money off the land
before being compelled to pay for it and
that payment in easy instslments would be
beniicent amendment to the present plan.

ON A REoUlsIrioN.

An officer from Carthage. No., arrived
here night before last armed with requisi-
ton from Governor Martin for the arrest of
a man named William Ellis, who has been
living in Cheney about year. A deputy
from the sheriti's office went out for him
yesterday morning and found him in King
man. He refused to come without having a
peep at. the reqnisition, which was left in
the sheriii's Office in this city. The deputy
sheriff left on the CLIO train after him last
evening, taking with him the required papers
and come bright shining bracelets that
work with key, snd he will ride in on the
Wichita and Western train this morning.
Ellis is charged with selling liquid light
ming without the necessary papers from
Uncle Sam. He was out on bail and skip
ped about year ago, or at least he made
his appearance in Cheney about that time
and it is said be married into . respectable
family in that town some time ago. How
he was traced is not known 70 the writer.
but there is reason for believing that he will
have to face the music again, and this trip

the csuse Of her rash net involves another
party in the city. who is know, 70 the re-
porter, but out oil consideration for bis
family, his nnme for the present will not be
published. 1t appears tbst this party has
for some time been forwarding money to
Miss Day, but Of late meeting with some
financial trouble, hes not contributed tho
usual amounts and she was taking the liberty
to seek her support elsewhere. From this
fact, Mr.. -, who is supposed TO be a gen.
tleman, on Sunday became jealous and
angry, and took it upon himself to
abuse her for her action. This
bad feeling existed between them until the
evening afore mentioned. At that time he
came to visit her and the quarrel was re-
sumed. She finally excused herself and
went to a nsiehboring drug store and pro-
cured the poison and on returning asked
him to step into an adjoining room for few
minutes. He complied with her request,
and on returning found she had taken
poison. A doctor was Immediately sent for.
and it was some hours before any hopes
were entertained of her recovery. This Oc-
Cured about II o'clock in the night.
The would-be suicide came here from
Indianapolis. She is of respectable and
wealthy family Of that city, and wxs tho
victim of an untrue lover while compare
lively young. When the matter was made
known to her horrifed parents she was
turned cut into the cruel world alone. She

WATCH COMPANY.

Dueber Watch Company at Newport, KY.
has decided to discontinue operations at that
point and are looking for q more favorable
location. They have an eye toward the
west and it was suggested yesterday by one
Of our jewellers that it was possible they
could be induced to locate here if an invit-
ing hand was extended to them. The com.
pany has always been successful and en-
ploys about twenty-five hundred hands. So
it at once can be seen that if they could be
induced to locate here it would be quite an
acquisition to our city. Some parties in
the city haye opened n correspondence with
them and We'll see what the prospect is to
get them to make this their location.

pleasure of announcing another very i'm
portant acquisition in the wholesale grocery
line, and of firm which already enjoys q
very extensive patronage in Kansas. Steele

stiffest jobbing firms, have leased the first
and second floors OF the Exton block. which
they will Immediately occupy with an eI-
tensive and irst-class stock of ali that per-
tains to that trade. Mr.. G. T. Sullivan,
their representative, informs US that several
car loads of goods have already arrived and
that in . few days their old southern
Kansas customers will be supplied from this
point at Missouri river prices. This firm
needs no introduction to many Of the
family grocery dealers of the towns of
southwest Kansas. One of the firm is an
old and prominent stock holder in the Chi
cago and Rock Island road and, of course.
knows of the future relations of this city
with that great corporation. This firm. in
addition to the Wholesale grocers We already
have, and in addition to the big concern Of
which we spoke yesterday, enables Us to in.
sure every grocery dealer within one humid
red or even two hundred miles of Wichita,
that by buying here they will not only find
