HORSE THIEVES ARRESTED.

For some time band of horse-traders
have been stationed in this city who have
been making big trades of various kinds,
their victims in most instances being
guileless country boys. No one knew
from whence these travelling jockeys came
or whittier they were bound. They have
no permanent home and are of no benefit
whatever 90 any town which they may for
the time inhabit
Some months ago great deal Of horse
stealing was going on inGreenwood county,
mostin and about the city of Eureka,
the county seat of that county. Thehorse
thieves were hunted but the most diligent
search amounted to nauGhJ until the
sheriff of Greenwood county received word
from the authorities here that his men
were probably here He came here several
days ago and succeeded in experimenting
one of his men, a man named Reed.
Search was made for the other supposed
thief, George Allen, by name. He and
assistants searched everywhere but could
not find their man, when at last they
called upon Chief of Police Burrows to aid
them. Mr.. Burrows, assisted by Police
man George Dennis, in less than three
hours afterwards got the man and turned
him over to the sheriff, when both of the
supposed horse thieves were locked up in
the county jail OF course the men deny
their guilt. One OF the men has his family
in this city.

AN AMUSING MISTAKE

Mr.. Clark of the country came in the

who was TO accompany him in the country
some few miles TO see farm. The two
met at the Philadelphia store and both
expressed their readiness to go, each sup
posed the other had his horse and buggy,
and so stepped out and Mr.. Clark jumped
into a buggy hitched at the corner. The
other gentleman of course got in, and
they started for the country. During the
ride one remarked you have been hauling
potatoes in your buggy" Why" says
the other, this is not my buggy" And
then they foud that they had taken a
strangers rig. You may imagine their
feelings. Both had put their horses in
the livery stable, and Of course each
thought the other had his buggy ready
for the ride Well. they returned to the
city and the owner of the buggy was
watching. and only by the intervention Of
parties was he prevented from pitching in
and whipping both gentlemen. which he
repeatedly threatened 10 DO. Explanations
followed AMI all was finally arranged

WICKED WICHITA.

Wichita already noted for the piety and
uprightness of its people. with three tab
ernacle services in daily progress and the
ministerial association holding mass
prayer meetings seems in a fair way of
becoming sanctified. Sure it is no Sodom.
What bright and shining example ought
the Peerless Princes prove to Topeka with
her suicides and proposed license law and
Kansas City with her joint revenues. Still
Wichita gees on with her pig-sticking and
her wholesaliug. with her gospel songs and
her lively drummers. For six days in the
week the black smoke from her factory
chimneys obscure the sky in a reasonable
way-and the EAGLE adds its morning
scream to the dim of steam whistles.

A large number of Wichita people are
off for the summer and others are going,
some to watering places and mountain
resorts. The gentlemen for the most part
are for recreation and healthy sports.
Capt. Fred G. Smythe, who never fails of
an outing, is off today with his wife for
Chicago, whence he will ship by lake to
Toronto, and thence up among the pisca-
torial lakes of Canada. The weather has
been SO pleasant at home of late, the
thermometer often registering as low as
So and 60, and even down to 50, that it will
be hard to find more delightful place
than right at home. We have no doubt
Wichita will be quite famous as summer
resort at some time in the future.
