Round Pond is under martial law
owing to the trouble that occurred there
day before yesterday.
Acting Governor Lowe and Marshal
Nix of Oklahoma are at the scene in re-
spouse to the following telegram from
John ]. Ollie, attorney for the Rock
Island company:
"EL RENO, June. 6. 1S94-W. c. Rem
at Round Pond has placed Instructions
on the track of the Chicago. Rock Island
and Pacific railway, torn up part OF the
track and are preventing men from re-
pairing same by force The sheriff and
all his deputies are out OF the county after
men who broke jail, and the local author
tiles are unable to protect life and
property. You are requested to use the
power Of tine territory and to call upon
the war department for assistance to pro-
tect this property and life of employees.
(Slgned) JOHN l. Ollie"
Last night W. S. Rogers the photograph
err came up from there aud he says that
high pitch of excitement prevails. II
made two photographs of the scene" said
he, "but / had to do it very quiet for If
they saw me they would prevent it," The
photographs contain an accurate outline
of the wreck, the torn track and the people
that were present.
The story. boiled down, is substantially
as follows:
Some time ago the city of Round Pond
passed an ordinance prohibiting the Rock
Island railway company from running their
trains through the city at greater rate OF
speed than eight miles per hour. The COM
pany paid no attention to the ordinance
aud kept on running their trains through
the city at the usual high rate of speed.
Wednesday wagon was placed upon the
track and the Oncoming train did not stop
but struck it and went Oh. This aroused
the citizens, and a number of them went
to work and tore up about 150 yards OF the
track. An unexpected train came along and
running headlong into the gap was dltched
and good many cattle were killed.
just 40 this point opinions differ and
two different statements are made. Some
say that hsgHen were placed on either side
of the breach on the track to signal trains
of their danger, but that the engineer paid
no attention TO them under the lnstruc-
tions given by the company on the 10th OF
September and which have never been re-
voked. Others allege that a flagman was
stationed at one side of the breach only,
and that an unexpected stock train from
the other direction fell into the breach.
One side also states that the citizens were
to repair the tOrn-up track or remove the
wreck. while others say the citizens did
not offer the least molestation to the en-
ployes of the company.
That they had very hot time there is no
mistake, for there are now, it is said.
about l50 armed deputies at the scene and
call is being made upon the war depart
ment for military aid. 1t is also stated
that an attempt has been made to burn
one of the company's bridges near South
Enid. a city that is also under the ban OF
the railroad company.
It is feared that a collision is imminent
between the citizens and the deputies and
if there is blood will flow like water.

FRIDAYS BARGAIN.

The famous Jackson Summer c. c. G.
corset is so strongly intrenched in the favor
of the women of AmericaIthat we have found
it necessary to add it to our already complete
stock of summer corsets and waists.
The Jackson Corset embodes many de-
sirable features not found in any other corset
and which make themselves at once apparent
to the purchaser.
1t readily adapts itself to and yields to
the movements of the form, the stays being
SO arranged that while they give ample sup
port to the back and spine they permit per-
feet ease and freedom of movement.
The weight Of the clothing is transferred
to the shoulders by shoulder straps which
can be adjusted to suit any form or length of
waist.
The New York Dry Goods Economist.
of June 4, 1892, in an editorial article per-
tanning to this corset. said:
"The Jackson c. c. combination of
unable to bear the of For
comfortable support graceful outlines
and for practical service has attained standard of high
merit"
By special efforts we have been able to
place this corset before the ladies of Wichita,
and trust those who can appreciate really
valuable article will be present today at our
special sale which begins at o'clock a. m.
Our price on them for this day only will be
40 cents each; unless a few remain unsold

ALL.SON-SHEPPARD.
Quiet Home Wedding Held at the Res dcnse Of
the Bride.

There was a quiet wedding, at high
noon, Wednesday, at the residence of the
Rev. T. ]. Sheppard in this city. The oc-
casion was the marriage of his daughter.
Miss Hattie Sheppard, to w. j. Allison of
Arkansas City, in the presence of members
of the families of the contracting parties,
and a few intimate friends. A beautiful
and very impressive nuptial ceremony was
performed by the Rev. 6. w. Lane, of
Usage Mission, Kansas. The bride is wide
ly known in Wichita as young lady pos
sessng more than ordinary worth and
graceful character, and the groom is an
estimable young fman and rising engi-
neer in the employ of the Santa Fe Rail-
road Co The pure atmosphere and golden
sunshine of perfect day, sweet stains Of
music, profusion of fragrant flowers, a
genial company. and delicious wedding
feast made this an suspicious and joyful
occasion, saddened only by the thought
that happy family must part with n
daughter and sister so worthy of their af-
lection. Numerous wedding gifts evil
denced the esteem of friends. The bride
and groom went to Arkansas City on the
evening train intending to make that city
their place of residence for the present.

During the past three or four days re-
port has been in circulation among the
Kansas and Missouri valley daily papers
TO the effect that the commercial interests
Of Governor Lewelling in this city were IN
bad shape, and, in fact, that the firm Is
Insolyent.
A reporter for the EAGLE called on the
governor last evening at his residence on
North Lawrence avenue to learn abont his
reported financial embarrassment. II saw
o screed in the Topeka Capital a few days
ago." said be, ''purporting to be the facts.
and there was not a word of truth in it.
Our firm is perfectly solvent.
and we are doing safe and a good busi-
ness. The fact is, however, that we are
trimming our sails a little and not
spreading out beyond the limits of our
financial capacity to conduct the business
on a safe, conservative and profitable
basis"
Heretofore, it seems, the firm borrowed
money from the banks On ware house
receipts, but as financial matters became
stringent, the banks gradually kept
trimming their sails likewise and recently
declined altogether to advance money on
ware house receipts. The Governor does
not attribute his to any political reason
whatever although some sidewalk politi-
clans are not slow to make use of it.,
1t is the general retrenchment incident to
This change that has kept Governor Lew
cling here continually during the past
week.
When asked about the ticket nominated
at Topeka by the Republicans he said that
1T was IA good Republican ticket and suited
him to IA dot. He said that the nomiua-
ton of n banker for governor, one whom
he thinks has no sympathy for the masses,
will strengthen the Populist chances. He
also thought that so many OF the candl-
dates living in the eastern part Of the
state would be another element of weak
ness.
As q matter of course Mr.. Lew
cling would say the same thing, or
find some other reason to find fault with
the ticker, had the Candidates and sur
rounding circumstances been different.
Notwithstanding his expressed pleasure
at the nomination of Mr. Morrill,, 1t was
apparent that he wished it had been diff
ferenu ticket. When told that an idea pre-
vailed that George Douglass would be de-
feated for ongress-at-large he said that
will suit me-" and seemed to be very much
pleased over such prospect.
