POLICE COURT
MOUNTED PATROL,

The murder of Mr.. E I. Brown has re-

spoken TO Mr.. J. A McMahan, IN regard
TO the same. that he will today begin to
solicit subscriptions for that purpose and
if properly encouraged viii Immediately
put on force which will no doubt prove
as satisfactory as has his merchant patrol
and that viii be satisfactory enough TO
satisfy ANYBODY.

evidently had not seen them, or did not
care where he rested. With some difficulty
he was aoroused and before he was thor
oughly away, talked incoherently about
they can do what they please with me, /
don't care. Pm only begging for mercy on
| account Of my wife and children"
HIS STATEMENT
When he was awakened; however, his
manner entirely changed and he was more
| inclined to be saucy and smart, than any
thing else. Before word was said about
the Brown affair, in answer to a question
if the newspaper man had not met
him recently, last Saturday, he at first said
very fiercely, mo sir, you did not, who
ever says he saw me in Wichita last Sat
urday is liar" The reporter apologized
for having perhaps been mistaken, and
asked where he was On Saturday, to which
be answered, "Well, 1 was pretty near
down to Arkansas City" Later, how
ever, in trying to give detailed
statement of his whereabouts from the
time he broke out of the calaboose, up to
the time of his arrest, he said that
he was in Wichita all day Satur-
day and that he was in his house
from seven O'Clock Saturday night to early
Sunday morning He studiously avoided
making any statement which might indi-
cate that he knew anything about the
Brown mystery or was near the place at
the time it is supposed to have taken place.
He is very vehement in his denial of all
completely in the affair and says that
they can hang him as high as Hamann,
but he will swear that he is telling the
truth when he says that he knows nothing
about SBrown or the persons who killed
him"
CONTRADICTORY STORIES.
Whatever may be the truth or falsity of
his protestations there are certain circum-
stances which make it look very suspicious
for Tangsley. He and his wife and child
(the wife and child in particularly have
told too many and too conflicting stories
as to the time of his arrival at the house
on Saturday.nigkt, andalso as to the times
he was there after that. His arrest will
cause considerable excitement through
out the city. as the citizens have
been worked up to high
pitch of excitement over this affair. No
demonstration or talk of violence should
be for moment entertained. If there is
any guilt attaching to prisoner in charge,
the circumstances are such that no person
who had any connection with the horrible
affair can possibly escape the law and on
the other hand the prisoner should be
given opportunity to prove his limo

wlCHITA's SCHOOL CHILDREN.

1t is proposed by the Mount Vernon La
dies association, who have the home of
Washington in charge, that the school
children of Kansas restore the only build
ing yet in ruins on the old homestead, the
building being that of the servants quar-
tiers. Jennie NJ. Ward, of Ottawa, the vice
regent for Kansas writes US note, desir-
ing the EAGLE to call attention of the
school teachers and scholars of the Wich-
tia public schools to the matter. The res
toration will cost 81, 200, which has been
apportioned 70 the entire state of Kansas,
the collection, as we understand it. to be
made on Washington's birthday, the 22d
of sFebruary. Each scholar contributing
will have his'or her name enrolled in the
Kansas Record book. Wichita can do her
part easily. If all the children of school
age in Wichita should contribute but
nickle each nearly one-fourth of the entire
sum for the state would be raised by this
city alone. But we don't wish to urge,
only to call the attention of teachers and
scholars to the proposed move.
