the traps all right, and, after seeing
that the triggers were well set, turned
and began his homeward trip
BY this time the sun had gone
down and the long shadows of dusk
were falling between the trees. But
over the hill on his right rose the full
orbed moon and more than once Ted
stopped and watched its stately
ascent.
He had reached little stream near
the cabin and had set his feet
on the foot log for the purpose of
crossing 1t, when he caught sight of
something moving toward the cabin.
He could sec the house through an
opening in the forest. The moonlight
fell around it revealing it in the little
clearing with uncommon distinctness.
1T is Jack going home" said Ted
with smile, when he had watched
the moving object fer while. Hes
been off on another excursion and is
just getting in"
Then he thought of surprising the
bear with one of his shrill whistles
and placed his fingers to his mouth to
sound it when he suddenly stopped.
The bear had stopped, too.
Not only this, but the next moment
Ted Brady's heart took a leap into his
throat. for the animal rose on its hind
feet near a tree and remained stand

KNEW BILL DALTON.
Recollections OF the Youth OF the Now Famous
Outlaw.

j. Wilson Morris of Leonard Hill, Mis-
souri, is visiting in the city for a few days
| looking after property interests acquired
| here in 1884, Mr.. Morris is highly cul-
| tured gentleman notwithstanding the
fact that in his early boyhood he asso-
| ciated with youths who would now be
| termed bad company. They were the
Daltons who are causing so much annoy
ance in Oklahoma. He remembers only
Bill Dalton who attended country school
with him and was in the same class.
Il remember VIII Dalton well, ," said
he last night. "He was at that time about
IL years Of age, aud while he was not what
might be termed bright, he was a thought
fui youth. He was by no means quarrel
some but we always recognized him as a
boy of grit. and when be did fight, which
was seldom, he fought to finish. He was
very silent boy but listened a great deal.
He was not fond of company and HI recess
he would sit en- log at the. end of
the woodpile aud commune with
himself. L have often thought since
he has become known as des-
perado, that during those apparently
moody spells he was dreaming perhaps of
the dark days of his future life when he
would become the terror of the plains.
Strange as it may appear he had "A relig-
ious disposition and attended services and

tened attentively to Squire Williams who
was also country parson admonishing
the youth of his flock 10 walk upright in
the path of life. No one who had noticed
him then would ever dream that he would
one day become the most notorious outlaw
of the southwest.
Il remember one fight which he had in
his school days. There was a spring hard
10y where the pupils used to drink water
and the school directors were generous
enough to place gourd there TO drink out
of. One day Will Dalton was sitting near
the well gazing at the horizon. Que boy
named Alb Sidener had the gourd in his
hand and stealing behind girl he poured a
pint of water. down Der back and she began
crying Will Dalton jumped to his feet and
struck Sidener on the face. A fight followed
during which Sidener got Dalton's finger
between bis teeth. Dalton reached for a
stone with his other hand and hammered
the boy on the forehead till his finger was
released. The boys face was horribly
mangled. / saw Sidener at Kansas City
last year aud the marks of the stone are
still plainly visible on his forehead. Dali
ton, even though his finger was squeezed
pretty hard, remained cool all the time.
Ii Sidener had bitten that finger off it is
probable that Dalton's fate might be diff
ferent, as it is, with it he has pulled many
a deadly trigger since.

A VERDICT OF NOT PROVEN.

In the case against Ward and Cole.
charged with misdemeanor in connection
with their official duties as officers of the
PENDANTS, and the whole matter might,
perhaps. as well be dismissed with word.
The mass of evidence, from its very
nature. could not be corroborated. Each
witness had his or her say. but there were
none to verify individual affirmations, and
seldom can be in such class of cases, where
the presence OF a third person to the trans
actions charged is not supposable or hardly
possible. Each affidavit standing alone,
was in turn denied by the defendants.
Whether the verdict of the jury is the
Judgment of the community, or whether
under the rules of evidence aud the in
structiOn of the court any other verdict
would have been possible, will doubtless
be very generally discussed. but the EAGLE
will be backed in saying that for the
sake Of the good name of the
city and that of common decency it is
most sincerely hoped that no more talk of
Doodle and corruption will be heard in
connection with the administration of so
sacred duty as that of school officer.
In the mean time the voters, parents and
taxpayers would make no mistake If here
after only heads of families who are prop
erty owners and taxpayers were elected TO
the school board. The salary is nothing,
the responsibility great, the duties ardu
Gus. and only those who have children at
school and who pay taxes have any BUSH
ness to offer to discharge SO important a
trust. Certain it is that when nobody
knows-who ward politicians and non-tax-
payers, seek positions in which vast expen-
ditures of public moneys are necessary but
to which no salary or emolument attaches.
there always arises in the minds of the peo-
pie suspicion of Interior motives upon
the part Of those who in a manner force
their services thus upon the public.

The local believers in the Coxey move
ment will meet tomorrow night TO express
the public sentiment of Wichita on the

division OF the army here. Quite q num-
Der desire to go TO join the Commonweal,
but as yet no leader has been found. A
good opportunity is offered TO somebody
who is thirsting for passing fame and it is
a matter of some surprise why some one
has not already offered to embrace it.

ANOTHER TRIAL COMING.

1t was thought that at the recent term OF
the United States court in this city that no
other man would be tried for his life by
that tribunal but such is not the case.
At the next term Clyde Mattox will be
again tried for his life for the murder of
John Mullen at Oklahoma City in 1885,
HIS application for a new trial has been
allowed. There is possibility however
that the trial may not come off as parties
from here who saw him recently at Ian
sing think that he has consumption and
that he will not live very long.
