For STEALING UNCLE SANS WOOD.

Yesterday morning Ora Bond, formerly
OF I'll Reno but who has for the past two
months been travelling to evade the officers
who were looking for him, was arrested by
Turnkey Hedger in the postoffice at this
place. The offence for which he was
wanted was that of cutting timber from
the reservation west of Ell Reno War
rants for the arrest Of his father, himself,
and John Smith were issued about the
first of February, and his father and
Smith were caught some time ago. but
young Bond succeeded in keeping out of
the way of the officers until yesterday
morning. Deputy Marshal Madison, of Ell
Reno, learned yesterday that Bonds
mother had addressed letter, containing
draft for a small amount to him at this
place. so the deputy at once telegrphed to
Chief of Police Burrows to be on the look
out. The chief sent Hedger to the office.
and soon the hunted man turned up, in
curing at the office for his letter. He was
arrested and locked up at the police sta
ton. Deputy Marshal Short, of Minco,
came in last night, and will take the pris-
oner to Oklahoma in the morning

A BIG TINE IN WICHITA

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The Kansas Travelling Mems association
will hold its annual meeting in Wichita
the third Saturday in May. and it will
bring to the city about $50 travelling men
from all parts of the state who represent
houses in all parts of the United States
1t will be a good time for the people of
Wichita to show up the city i'll good
shape This organization has held its an
nual meetings in the various cities of Kan
sas and have been entertained in good
style, and the boys have always had good
word to say wherever they go for the cities
that have entertained them. Now what
will Wichita do for them on the occasion
of their assembling here? Let me suggest
that meeting of the resident travelling
men be called to arrange program of en-
tertainment. Who will take hold of this
matter? If such men as hartman, Jack
son, Burrell, Forker and others will take
hold of the matter feel that Wichita will
not be behind her sister cities in enter
tanning the BOYS. Stir up boys and do the
city proud on this occasion. Any infor-
nation you may want in regard to said
meeting cal be had from the secretary of
the Kansas Travellers association.
