The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1894-06-17

Tbirty-one years ago yesterday the
Wichita Indians pitched their tents ca the
curved bank of the Little river, few
hundred yards south of the Oak street
bridge.
Not white mans foot, save possibly
that of Coronado and his followers, had
pressed the virgin soil since the creation
OF the world up TO that time.
The land was fair 10 look at, blue sky
overhung it, fishes of all varieties jumped
after the fly in what was then babbling
brook, whose waters sang the requiem of
nearly sixty centuries. The conQuering
pale faces came four or five years after and
pitched their tents nearby. In due time
poor Lo was ordered to move on.
Yesterday, on the very anniversary of
the day that the Wichita's pitched
their tents on the bank of the
Little river. their successors to the
soil the sturdy pioneers of Sedgwick
county, the old settler association, spread
their table linen On the very same spot,
emptied baskets of chicken legs and pies
and proceeded TO banquet off the luxurious
products of good sou while the dreaded
red man who was once monarch of the
land was in exile in the Indian terri
tory.
1t was the annual banquet of the old
settler association and the largest gather
ing OF pioneers that has been held in ten
years. Il was a reunion of men and women
who braved the hardships of early days
and laid the foundation for the coming
greatest metropolis of the west. There
were people present who had not met each
other in twenty years and their greeting
was like those of long lost brothers and
sisters.
. j
eniscences--thet early history--of primitive
days. He told who made the first speech
who first shuffiled off the mortal coil and
who il was who was first born in the
county. Judge Tucker told all about the
early Jurisprudence aud caused many a
good laugh and refreshed many n dying
recollection. Uncle Bill Mathewson told
stories of the trail and the buffalo hunt
until half the old settlers imagined they
were back again enjoying the juicy and
toothsome luxury of outlet FROM the ham
of bison
Ben Aldrich and many more told stories
that were pleasing TO the ear ana tickle
some to the fancy.
Eehiison's band was present and dis
coursed some admirable music while the
Chi dren and the grandchildren of the
pioneers danced and laughed aud courted
and spanked and revelled in happiness.
The park WAS given them free or charge
by Mr.. Littlefield who has charge of it aud
who is fixing il up in great shape.
1t Was happy event and VIII be remem-
bered for long time by the old settler.

Contact With a Pole.

G. II. Smith. n motor man on the street
railway. was knocked senseless while
riding on North Main street car yester-
day. He was collecting fares when the

car and was conveying a crowd of old set
tiers to their picnic grounds in Riverside
park, and before leaving the corner of
Main and Douglas Smith was cautioned TO
take care that no one got hurt from the
poles between the tracks, and especially TO
watch the children.
Smith has been riding on the cars for
three years and continually warning the
unwary but yesterday was his unlucky
moment aud when near Central avenue,
while passing from the front OF the Car to
the rear. in an incautious moment the
back OF his head struck an iron pole and
hurled him from the Car. where he lay
quivering and jerking In commissions.
The women screamed ana the children
leaped from the car in terror, while the
men ran TO where the man lay and carried
him into a residence where he remained
unconscious for an hour.
He was wounded on the head and in the
back. Dr. w. ". Minick was called aud
dressed his wounds. after which he rested
quietly. He Will not be able 10 work for a
month or more.

SUBURBAN THIEyERY,

A city subscriber sends in wall about
sneak thieving;-hard times brings out
the meanest elements in humanity.-The
criminal courts furnish many items for
the press, but there is much petty thieying
going on in the suburbs that is not often
mentioned in print A man raised ten
acres of corn near the Burton car works
plant last year. Thieves stole one-third of
It when at the roasting ear aye and the rest
of it after the fodder was in the shock s"
A man stole ten bushels of corn from
Chas. Humphrey last fall. The thief was
caught and made TO ack nowledge the corn
and pay for it, This week thieves entered
the potato patch of the Sites Brothers and
gobbled a good portion of the crop. Mr.
Stage, the old crippled veteran, on En-
pOria avenue, has devoted his time to the
cultivation of rare flowers. Some nights
ago IA thief entered the front yard and
with ;rowel or spade dug up and carried
of some of his most valued plants. Many
other thefts of similar nature could be
mentioned. Remedy: gun-traps or night
vigils and bird shot. A few examples OF
nocturnal vaccination are needed.

THE oTRER SIDES VIEW

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
l see that there has been a petition pre-
scented to the city council TO call special
election TO vote $40, 600 bonds for prospec,-
ing purposes. While | think that Wich-
lta should test the matter satisfactorily To
al, whether coal oil, gas or in fact any
thing in paying quantities is under US, il
looks like a drowning man catching ut a
straw. 1t says that one hundred business
men of the city has signed the petition.
Now il those one hundred men Will take
SIS worth of stock that could De issued by
the prospecting company il would show
their faith in helping 10 test the matter
and if anything is found their money will
not be lost. II nothing is found it would
be paid for aud not debt TO meet and iu-
terest to pay. We are too poor TO do this.
We are too poor to pay any interest in the
shape OF taxes. Let the stock be issued
and / will give $50. J. Is. BRINLEY.

Strikes from the Tyre of life-nor understood,
How her own yearning soul unconsciously
Leans toward fuller, deeper harmony.

There was one hundred small cloth

Under the warmth and dampness the
seeds would soon sprout and then my
young friend would take each bag and
dip il into tub filed with highly-per-

leaves which first sprout would be
carefully taken of, leaving the next
leaves, which are rough and wrirkled
and do not bear such strong evideac
