SHOOT. LADIES; AND SHOOT TO KILL


To the Editor of the Eagle.
What shall we do with the tramp, is a
query suggested by the tragic event of last
Friday. The law does not regard his
vocation crime, yet in nine cases out OF
ten he is a thief, house breaker and
murderer. We can not eXtOrt from him
his nefarious purposes. Yet, as in the
case referred to, he attempts the baseSt OF
all crimes. Evidences of his designs are
not always apparent, especially to SYM
pathetic woman, to whom he usually ap-
plies for charity. The law contemplates
punishment only for specific acts, Yet here
is class of prOwling mlscreants actually
seeking to commit capital offense as a
business. While he asks for bread he
scans the premises preparatory to
a successful entrance Of your house at
night; as he engages the sympathy of
kind and loving woman he is planning an
assault, all with the purpose that rather
than suffer detection or arrest he will muir
der any or all who attempt it. The life OF
good man, or a hundred, in his eyes, are
as nothing compared to his own. Thus
we have him and this is his mission. Is
he to be tolerated and is there no remedy?
Is our regard for the dignity and processes
of the law to rise above our estimate of
the sanctity of home and loved ones?
Would the arrest, trial and Imprisonment
of her brutal assailant be any compensa-
ton to poor Mrs Wood, who lies in peril
for her life today? If she could have
met this assault with bullet and
taken his worthless life who would
have been the murderer" If the ladies of
every community would organize for prac-
tice at target shooting, and the husbands
and defenders of home and virtue should
combine into one great vegilence commit
tee, with special reference 20 the annihlla-
tion of this class of non-producers. | i'm

OKLAHOMA CHAT.

Col. E. c. Cole returned Sunday evening
from Kingfsher, Ok. He tells some OF
the bright prospects for the kingtiisher
valley.
The telegraph wires are within three
miles and the contract for the building OF
the Rock Island has been let to kingfsher.
The citizens expect to have telegraph COM
munications with Wichita by tomorrow.
The work commenced on Monday for the
grading and construction on the entire
line from Pond Creek through, and to be
completed within sixty days. The distance
| is about sixty miles. Messrs. Creach &
Lee. P. J. Murphey, Callahan & Co. have
the contract for the grading. Either of
of the above outfits could complete the
work WITHIN the time specified, but all of
the above have been old contractors
on the Rock Island each have been given a
portion of the work.
With the completion of the telegraph
and the railroad there will be lively times
at Kingisher in real estate The colonel
says up to this time there has been no
speculation beyond the natural growth
that a town of 5000 would give in an old
settled state. AS preface last week sew
eral capitalists arrived and invested large
ly and raised the price of business lots
from $500 to $500, 5000 and 81 200 each, the
highest price yet paid for city lots in
Kingfsher.
Concerning the political outlook the col
onel says that the call for a convention to
be held on the 18th to establish territor-
ial government will be met by large OPP
position by nearly the entire settlement
outside of Guthrie. The people feel that a
provisional government would be in
direct conflict with the general
government and strife and contention
would he the result and no such govern
ment could be maintained and for the pur
pose of giving the expression of which he
considers the sentiments of the people, a
convention has been called to elect dele
gates next Friday to meet at Frisco on
Monday the 18th, to express their consti-
tuents desire.
The colonel leaves Sunday morning for
Frisco by way Of Oklahoma City to take
in the conventions.

WILL REMAIN IN WICHITA.

For some time the question whether
Chancellor Everest would remain at the
Garfield university has not been deter
mined owing to the fact that Mr.. Everest
had partial understanding with the
board of trustees of Drake university to
assume similar work there. The board
of the Garfield university insisted on his
remaining here and he felt as though he
was under obligations to change unless re-
leased. In answer to correspondence on
the matter the following was received yes
terday:
Dies MONIES, Ia, July 6, 1889.
Chancellor II. W. Everest, Wichita, Kan:
Dear Brother-You cannot conceive with
what reluctance our board of trustees
yielded to the pressure and adopted the en-
closed resolution. We are sorry you could
not come and work with US, but perhaps
it is for the best. Wishing you and Gar
field university success, am
Very Truly.
GEO, A. JEwETr, Secretary.
Copy of resolution adopted by the board
of trustees of Drake university. July l,
1880
Whereas, 1t has been represented to this
board through the strong personal appeal
of Prot. A. j. Thompson, special COM
InlUCee lot UDe hdIlSdS Slsiit Vi
the churches of Christ; the Kansas Minis
terial association and the board of curators
of Garfield university, also by urgent
resolutions of the same that the interests
of Garfield university would be jeopardlzed
by the removal of President Everest at
this particular crisis of its history; and
Whereas, 1t has also been urged that
Garfield university is almost certain TO
achieve the greatest success ever attained
by the brotherhood of Kansas in his re-
tention and that all the interests con-
cerned absolutely demand his continuance
as chancellor Of Garfield university.
Therefore
Resolved, That in Difference TO these re-
quests We do hereby reluctantly release
President Everest from his contract with
us to assume the presidency of the literary
department of Drake university in Sep
TENDER, since we are unwilling that Drake
university should do anything that would
retard i'll any way the growth OF GARFIELD,
and feeling too that with our already
strong corps of teachers and with future
that is assured, we can better afford to do
without President Everest than our
younger sister at Wichita.
Yours truly, GEO. a. JEWETT.
Secretary.
The letter decides the question and
leaves Mr.. Everest where he now is, Chan
celor of the Garfield university. His
many friends in the city, including the
board of trustees of the university will no
doubt pleased to learn that he is to remain
in his present position.
The chancellor will spend most of the
summer vacation travelling in the interest
of the university He has many invita-
tions to lecture and appear before the peo-
pie and will take the liberty to have some
thing to say about the Garfield university.

On,InM. on Che Raid.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 4.-Judge
Robert Boyd of the Fifteenth judicial
district, in which Harlan county is sit
uated, came here to-day to request
Governor Buckner to send troops to
arrest Wilson Howard, leader of the
band of outlaws that killed four citi-
zens last Tuesday. Judge Boyd spoke
in substance as follows; II think
troops are necessary to capture the
outlaws, and their presence will be es-
sential at the criminal court in order
that the law may be enforced. Its my
plan to station officers at all the pTin-
cipal outlets of Harlan county. and let
them intercept all attempts to escape
from the county, then let the
state troops raid their Businesses
and either capture them or drive
them into the hands of the officers who
guard the roads and other out let's.
IF Wilson Howard and Bill Jennings
could be taken the trouble would end.
But they are related to about one
fourth OF the Koran county Inhabitants
and have "a large number of supporters.
Consequently it will be d hard matter
to capture them without military sup
port, Howard and Jennings offered to
surrender TO me and sent Harry Ever
sale to neg 0tiate the conditions. They
were assured bail would he allowed
them, but l, of course, demanded an
unconditional surrender. l think
the best thing TO be done in
case of capture would be to turn them
over to the Missouri authorities as
quickly as possible. They are both
wanted in that state for two or three
murders. They murdered a deaf mute
in cold blood, and think, killed one or
two or three persons afterward. Mar
shall Hunter came near capturing
Howard some time ago, out in Rock
Castle county. Howard, however.
was fOTewarned before Hunter reached
the house, and made good his escape
on very swift horse. There are
several rewards offered for their cap
ture, but nothing like the sum that
has been reported. l will continue to
hold court as usual" Another confer
ence will be held this afternoon, but
Governor Buckner is of the opinion
that strong posse would do more that
troops.

morning the inspiring sound of the
drum and fife could be heard on all

The crowd increased each passing mo-
ment and by s O'Clock the marching
companies, baggage wagons and omni-

foot passengers. The weather is de-
hghttul and judging from the thou
sands who are here to-day, Milwau-
KEGS hospitality will be taxed to its
utmost to entertain and quarter the
visitors. General Warner and the Kan
sas City contingent, about 300 strong,
put in an appearance about 10 o'clock
and and marched tn the Plankinton
House, which is the headquarters of

A uniquine feature of the morning
arrival was the entrance in the harbor

decked in the three colors

veterans from the neck of country

The ark was in tow of tug and had a
