the Price of Fuel in Wichita.
The village of Leon, thirty-two miles
east of Wichita, is excited over the dis
covery OF three foot vein of coal at a
depth of forty-four feet from the sur
face of the ground.
During the afternoon the following
special telegram was received by the
Eagle:
Leon, Kan, Dec. 2S, 1885.
While drilling a wen in South Leon
Dave Hawkins struck a 3-foot vein OF
coal at depth Of forty-four feet Coal
experts have examined the coal and pro-
nounce il superior to Weir City pro-
duct Great excitement prevails and
a shaft will be sunk Immediately. Sam
Piles of the coal may be seen at Wesza-
colts drug store.
DELL WARREN.
]. 3. WANDELL,
A reporter was detailed to be at the
depot to meet uhe Frisco train from
Leon. He was rewarded; as one of the
first men who alighted from the train
was S. Brakeman, special officer of the
Frisco road, who has his residence at
Leon.
When approached by the reporter he
said:
Yes, know all about it and If you
will come to the Manhattan l will tell
you all about Ii. You can rest as
sured of one thing, and that is that the
discovery is a genuine one, and | hope
win prove of great benefit to Wichita"
After arriving at the hotel the gen.
tleman continued:
Anthony Braebeck, the section boss
of the Frisco, who resides at Leon. had
just finished paying for his residence,
and as his well only produced water
sufficient to water his COW he was COM
PEELED TO carry water for his house and
ne concluded that h would have his
well drilled deeper, and for this purpose
contracted with Dave Hawkins of Leon
TO drill his well at least twelve feet
deeper in hopes of finGing water.
Yesterday morning he went to work
as usual and Hawkins set up his drill
and began drilling an S-inch hole in
the bottom Of the well, which was forty
feet deep al the time he began work.
Hawkins had only drilled about
eighteen inches when he struck coal
slate, and at a depth Of forty-four feet
from the surface, or four feet from the
bottom of the well he struck a vein of
coal which lasted until a depth of forty
seven feet, making the vein of coal a
little over three feet in depth.
Il examined the cOal myself and saw
it burn. There was lot of Weir City
coal in town and when compared with
the coal taken from the we'll there was
a close resemblance"
When shown the dispatch which had
been received by the Eagle, he said:
Yes. L know both men whose names
are signed TO the dispatch. Mr.. Wan
oell is the principal of the school and an
excellent gentleman and perfectly re-
liable. Mr.. Warren is a citizen of Leon
and in position TO know the facts. You

FOUND A STARVED BOY
Ed WiggIesworih Makes Discovery on
the Plains of Mexico.

Ed. Wigglesworth has a boy on his
hands whom he is boarding at the City
Hotel on Market street. The cause of
ell this extra expense was brought
about by the big heartedness of the well
known sheep man in this wise.
Mr.. WiggIesworth was in Mexico buy
ing several thousand head of sheep, and
one day he found a half starved lad,
about seventeen years of age, who was
trying to shoot a turkey buzzard to
appease his appetite. The boy was a
Swede and not overly bright, and when
he was found by Mr.. Wigglesworth he
was almost starved to death. He could
not speak a word OF Spanish. and he
was in a helpless con Ntion. He begged
to be taken back to the states" and
said that ne had an uncle who was
postmaster at Oxfordville, Wis, who
had some of his money. He begged so
piteously that Mr.. Wigglesworth could
not refuse him and he brought him to
Wichita
The terrible privation and suffering
to which he had been subjected TO be-
fore he was discovered had in meas
ure unbalanced the boys mind, and it
was not proper that he should be kept
at the expense of the county. He is
still so weak from his long fasting that
Mr.. Wigglesworth brought him to the
city where he can receive medical treat
ment, the expense being born by his
Giscoverer.
Last night a letter was written 10 the
boys uncle TO either come after him or
send him a ticket The boy appears TO
have been a bright lad before his ter
rible experience with the greasers of
Mexico, but he was a stranger in a
strange land and is now but physical

which she responded with ANNE Laurie.
Next came the ventriloquistic exhibi-

a recitation by Mr.. n. S. Darling; vocal
solo by Harry McClung Then came
an original representation of a circus
by Mr.. L. II. Stubbs and n. S. Darling
which was the reproduction of the
many sounds heard around circus.
This received enthusiastic applause
all through from the audience both on
account of its ludicrousness and because
Of IT being original. Then came the

LOST MAN Is FOUND
A. Swigert has Been Located in Arkansas
Where He Went Private Business.

A. Swigert has Been Located in Arkansas
Where He Went on Private Business
S. Brakeman, special officer of the
Frisco, says that on the evening Of
Dec. II, he road on the Frisco as far
as Severy with Andrew Swigert, who
Disappearance from Wichita caused
great uneasiness with his friends. He
says he not only rode with him but
spoke to him and asked him why he
was going over on the Frisco instead
OF the Missouri Pacific Continuing
he said:
81 could not be mistaken as Mr.. Swi-
eert was clerk Of the district court and
l have known him for years. He told
me he was going TO Severy for the pur-
pose of collecting some money. He
did rot get off the train at Severy, but
went into a sleeping car and the next
morning ate breakfast with the train
men at Monet, Mo.
81 think he went south from Monet
to Arkansas. In fact, / have been 50
informed. His disappearance was GER
tainly very strange. He was not in
debt and the county attorney of Butler
county informed me that his accounts
with his office were all right and per-
fectly' straight. 1 think he will turn
UP all right and when he comes back
will be able to tell the boys just why
he went away so suddenly. He bears
a good reputation and nave written TO
his family telling them all the infor-
nation / had.
His disappearance for a time caused
considerable excitement and 1t was fear
ed that he had been fouly dealt with,
but this is out of the question. He had
business in Arkansas to attend to and
did not desire that everybody should
know his private affairs.

owns considerable property both in
Leon ard in Wichita, headed a subscrip
ton list for the purpose of putting down
a shaft immediately with 81, 600, and the
necessary money was subscribed in a
few minutes
There was no chance for any fraud
in the find, nor was there any object 10
be gained by deception The only thing
that might be shown was that il was
only a small pocket. but this theory can
not be believed as a few years ago coal
was found cropping out Of the ground
at Beaumont
There is no telling what the advan-
tage Of coal at Leon VIII provide TO a
city like Wichita 1t is Only thirty
two miles distant. and they should be
able TO lay II down at Wichita at a
small cost. / believe a 3-foot vein OF
coal as close TO Wichita al this that
