DOWN IN THE WICHITA MOUNTAINS.

Mrs. S. T. Hendrickson returned yester-
day from five weeks visit to her brother,
Colonel Bryan, commander at Fort Sill,
accompanied by her daughter Dora. She
is delighted with that country of valleys
and mountains, and clear running pebbly
streams, declaring 1t to be the most ct
tractive she has seen in all the west,
Astounding in game and fish and-Indians
While there she witnessed the delivery of
annuities to the Comanche, kiowa. Chey
enne, Arapahoe and Apache tribes, but
did not fancy the aboriginal style of
Strengthening and eating beef. Nothing
was left for either the dogs or wolves.
She visited the Anadarko Indian
school, and she also witnessed the
performance of many outlandish rules OF
the red man and of their widowed squaws.
A chief owning 500 head of horses failing
of his hold on life was honored by the
slaughter of $50 of his pouies on his grave.
A twenty mile ride by stage from the
Rock Island railroad lands one at the
fort. The Wichita mountains, in the
Judgment of experts and observers, con-
tain mineral deposits. In fact, as has been
noticed often in these columns and years,
ago, there are many indications OF gold.
General Miles was expected every day, who
while there will participate in bear and
deer hunt. She found the EAGLE on file
every day at the fort library and copies
elsewhere among subscribers.

SUMNER COUNTY IN LINE.

Capt. John Brownback, Of Corbin was
in the city yesterday and reported the
election of the entire Republican ticket in
Sumner county, including District Judge.
The closest fights were between the can
dicates for judges. The nominees for the
Office were j. A. Burnett of Caldwell Re-
publican and Hon. j. E. Halsell of Wei
linSton, Democrat. Judge Halsell was
Endorsed by the Popu,ists aud was I'M
questionably the strongest man that
could be nominated. He served in con-
gress from the Bowling Green district OF
Kentucky two terms and came to Kansas
IN 1886 in order to get out of politics. A
fiuer gentleman could not be found in a
weeks travel nor a finer mixer. He was
always polite ana dignified aud had hosts
of friends in Summer county; so many
that his defeat seemed impossible. No
higher eulogy could be passed on Mr..
Burnett, rs a runner" than that he
defeated Judge Halsell.
Mr.. Burnett is young man, not
more than 50 years old. Although his law
practice has been confiEed almost ex-
clusively to Sumner county. he is good
lawyer and will make a competent judge.
He came to Caldwell about ten years ago
and has practiced law there ever since, be-
ing city attorney most of the time. He
came from long line of Democrats, but
has always been an intense Republican
himself. While he could not be consid'
cred politician in the accepted sense Of
the term, yet there is probably no man in
Sumner county better versed in the politi-
cal history of the country than he is. He
is not what may be termed brilliant as al
orator, but he has a good brain. lots OF
good sense and he is square, honest and
upright gentleman. His majority over
Halsell will be not more than 25.
