ARRESTED FOR HORSE STEALING.

! Yesterday a man named Charles Blevins
was arrested by Billy Henry and turned
over to the sheriff. in whose hostelry he is
now lodging. The charge against him is
horse stealing and the evidence in sup
port of the charge is very strong. 1t
seems that Blevius and young man
named Thomas Jetfries were working To-
gether on a farm, about twelve miles
south of Wichita. Jcffries owned horse,
and Thursday night about 9 o'clock
Blevins was seen riding the horse towards
Wichita. A short while after Jeffries
missed the horse, and suspecting that
Blevins was the thief he pursued him. He
walked to Peck and then telegraphed the
details of the theft to Wickita. Yesterday
morning he started out on foot for Wich-
ita, and meeting Postmaster Butcher, of
Haysville, on the road, he secured ride
to town. thereby arriving here sooner than
he would have done otherwise. In making
the rounds of the livery stables he called
at stable near Oak street, where he
found his horse. The facts were impaired
to those who stood around, and at that
moment Blevins was observed astride
of another horse and ready TO
skip. To go for the sheriff would be to
miss Blevins so Billy Henry appointed
himself sheriff for the time being, arrested
Blevins and turned MIN over to the sheriff.
Blevins had traded the horse in town for
another horse and received some money in
the transaction, and it was the horse he
secured in the deal that he was about to
ride away when he was arrested. When
he was taken to jail he was very much
under the influence of "tangle foot" and
before the officers could take him before
justice they had to let him sleep off his
drunk. At 8 O'Clock he was taken before
the justice and his preliminary set for
Monday morning. When Blevins got
reasonably sober he claimed that he did not
steal the horse but took him for debt
that Jeffries owed him. Jeffries denies
this and the officers do not doubt his word
for he seems to be an honest, straight
forward, truthful and industrious boy.

THE REVIVAL AT THE FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH.

The meeting at the Y. NJ. c. A. audi
torium last evening closed two weeks of
DR.. Kennard's labor with the First Bap-
tist church. Song and prayer service pre-
ceded the sermon OF the evangelist. DR..
Kennard preached upon the "Atonement,
or Christ a Substitute for the Sins of the
World" The sense of guilt, said the
speaker, prevailed in all ages past, and in
the people OF all nations; and prevails in
all nations, and in all people of today ex-
cept in the so-ealled moralists who assume
to believe their own righteousness is suffi-
cient. These men living under, and en-
joying the blessings which enlightened
Christianity has brought, are the first and
only ones who refuse to accept, its great
central truth, the atonement, made nee
essary by mans guilt. The custom of
sacrifice, founded upon the sense of guilt
that dwelt in the human heart, in order
that divine justice might be vindicated. BY
the sacrifice of Christ. the sinner is justi-
fed, if he will accept Christ as his substi-
tute The speaker illustrated his argu-
ment with apt and forcible incidents, and
closed his sermon with strong appeal to
the unconverted.
The evangelist announced at the close of
the meeting that there would be no meet
ing this evening He will speak on Sun
day morning at 1890 and also at the even
ing service, when his labors will probably
close. All are invited to be present at the
Sunday services.

INDECENT POSTERS.

Several of the church members OF the
city haze put their heads together to make
war on those who post indecent litho-
craps on the bill boards of the city. They
are going TO petition the city council TO
pass an ordinance prohibiting the practice
When the ordinance is passed then the
war will commence, and woe be TO the
man who attempts to violate it.
One gentleman, speaking about the mat
ter last night said: 1t is a lasting shame
and disgrace that such al outrage on
people of dscency, delicacy and self respect
should be tolerated for moment Re

CLARK COUNTY IN 1T.

J. G. Long, an extensive farmer of Clark
county, was doing business in the city yes
terday and had light heart for he had
good luck with his crops this year. In an
interview with an EAGLE reporter he
stated that the farmers of Clark county
are in better condition than they have ever
been before and are feeling happy, jubi-
liant and contented 1.-The farmers of
Clark county" said he, 'have sown one
third more wheat this year than any pre-
vious year and it is all in excellent condi-
tion to go through the winter. We really
have had no such a thing as wheat fail
ure in our county, and if we have another
yield the coming year like this year, the
farmers will carry a high head. Cattle
are in splendid condition and money mat
ters are much easier than they have been
at any time during the past three years. !"
"What about the AllisnceW
"Well, I'll tell you. Clark county is a
Republican county, naturally, and always
will be- The Alliance elected half of their
ticket this year, but next year they will
not get thing This year the Alliance
made strong campaign, and with the as
assistance of a few sore-heads from the
old parties succeeded in electing few
men. Circumstances will be more in
favor Of the Republicans next year and
they will elect everything, for they will
avoid the mistakes of the past.

JAKE IN TROUBLE.
A Montana Mob After Former Citizen Of the
Peerless Princess.

Jake Harris, tough gambler who used
to cap" for a poker game on North Main
street during the boom, is in trouble at
Great Fails, Mont, and if the accounts
from there are not overdrawn Jake is
hung by this time 1t was always pre-
dicted that Jake would reach the pearly
gates by the rope route, and the few OF his
confreres who are now here are congratu-
lating themselves on their prophetic pow
ers. After leaving here he went TO Cald-
well, and with his smooth tongue he sue
ceeded in capturing the affections of re-
spectacle country girl, whom he married
and took to Fort Benton, Mont, where he
made stake and opened gambling den
Of his own. Fortune favored him and he
became rich until now he is re-
ported to be one of the wealth
lest gamblers in northern Montana.
Last Tuesday be joined an excursion
party consisting of about 800 people who
left Great Falls to celebrate the compile
tion of the Great Northern railway TO
Neehart, aud upon airing there he began
to bowl up" according to his usual Gus
tom. On the return of the excursion
party to Great Falls he became very noisy
and boisterous. The marshal of the city
tried to pacify him but he wouldn't be
pacified and then the marshal attempted
to arrest him. The gambler wouldn't
submit and the marshal took hold of him,
Harris pulled his six-shooter
and began firing promiscuously. The
marshal was killed, cattleman
was fatally shot and lady was shot
through the leg. At last accounts about
300 citizens were hunting the gambler
through the adjacent canyons with the
of lynching him when they cap
tured him.

A CORRECTION.
the Editor n, the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
The caption in yesterday mornings
EAGLE ''The Congregational Revival" Z"
was misleading and justice to the work
requires correction. For reasons known
to those interested the convention recently
held by the president of the national
Christian Alliance, Rev. A. B. Simpson,
and his co-workers. was held in the Olivet
Congregational church. Such on interest
was awakened that it was not deemed
right TO suffer the meeting to close with
the convention, hence Mr.. Ryder, the
evangelist of the alliance, has remained q
few days longer The meeting has been
truly union one in which friends of many
are participating. and has
had no more connection with Olivet
church than with any other church inter
ested in it. 1t is hoped and expected that
this work will do its part, together with
the services being conducted in various
other churches in the city, in promoting
the cause of Christ among u.s.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS NEPHEW IN
TOWN.

Thomas J. Walters of Washington. D.
c., is in the city on his way to Camp Sup
ply to see his birthplace. Mr.. Walters
was born at Camp Supply twenty-three
years ago and is unquestionably the first
white child born in the Cherokee strip.
His father was a sergeant in Clusters
famous Seventh cavalry and helped to es-
tablish and build 'ths camp" He has a
sister who was born in Wallace county
twenty-one years ago, and she is consid
cred the first white child born in that part
of Kansas. They are the niece and nephew
of Mrs Christopher Columbus Mr..
Walters claims that his uncle is the only
man in the United States, whose name is
identically the same as that of the great
navigator and discoverer of America, and
he also alleges that Christopher's father
came from identically the same place that
the navigator was born in, and thinks it
probable that he belongs to the original
Columbus family.

AN EARLY MORNING ROW.

Yesterday morning at about o'clock a
row occurred on North main street. The
two principal combatants represented
two of the most oppressed races in Chris
tiandom. 1t is a hard matter to get the
straight of the fight as only hackdriver
and another man were present One of
the men knocked the other down on the
pavement and continued hammering him
until he was tired. He then sat on him
until he was rested, at which period he
commenced hammering him again. The
under man roared like a Commanche In
dian for help, saying he was dying and
finally when the bystanders thought he
had received enough punishment, they
asked the other man to desist. When the
belabored man got the use of his feet he
ran like cayote until he reached Harry
Kistler's lunch lroomIwhere he asked for a
cup of coffee. When the night waiter
went into an adjoining room the customer
laid his hands on a catsup bottle and
dashed out of the door and proceeded to
hunt up his antagonist to break the bottle
over his head, but he failed to find him
and therefore there was no more fighting.
