FIGHT FOR A HOTEL
More of the Trouble Over the
Occidental.
NOTICE SERVED ON GUYER
That He viii Be Expected to
Give Up Possession Oct. |.

There Is a new indication OF prosperity
in Wichita, namely the general scrap Tor
hotel buildings and that of the Occidental
in particular. Several days ago the Eagle
published a letter from A. 5. Booton OF
Chikaska, o. T, saying he had leased the
Occidental and would take possession
September !. Mr.. Guyer took run and
jump and Ut on the statement with
nat-footed denial saying he was IN pos
session of the building and would remain
so; that nobody had secured lease and
that the published statement was ali oosn.
Now comes Mr.. Stunkle. the owner OF the
hotel, in answer 10 that, and says tnat
he did rent the hotel 10 Mr.. Booton, who
was TO take possession on the first day
of September; that the present occupant
so understood 1t, and as Mr.. Stunkle fan
ed TO give the present renter a regular
legal notice TO quit he is compelled to
bide his time and vacate the house
through regular process OF law.
The following letter was also received
from Mr.. Booton yesterday:
'Chickasha, L. T., Aug. 81, 1888
ITO the Editor of the Eagle.
Mr.. Guyer verbally agreed to give UP
the Occidental September l. but went
back on his word and would not get out
without legal notice being served on him.
1 have leasa from Mr.. Henry Stunkle,
owner of the property. taking e1ect
October 1, and will refer YOU 70 Mr.. A.
E. Helm, who drew up the lease. Most
respectfully. A. S. BOOTON."
Mr.. Guyer was seen at the Occidental
yesterday and when asked about the mat
ter produced receipt for his rent for
September. He said that II he got the
Metropole in shape by October he would
move out of the Occidental, and If not
he could hold the Occidental until Janu-
ary 1899. He thought it wasn't fair treat
ment to try to shove him out now that the
hotel is paying good profit.
The rush for property is not confined
to hotels, however. There is demand for
residences and business houses all over
the city.
A written notice has been served on Mr.
Guyer land as his contract is only by the
month he win probably have to get out

COUNCIL WAS COMPELLED
To Undertake Enforcement OF Bicy-
Gle Ordinance.

There appears to be some feeling among
wheelmen over the late order Of the coun-
Gil to strictly enforce the ordinance
against sidewalk riding. There is tnot a
city in America the size of Wichita, prob
ably, that permits wheelmen 10 run on
the sidew alks. Wheelmen can't be caught
very easily, but if they represented
corporation there would be some heavy
damage suits pending in the courts
against them. A little boy on North To-
peka was knocked twenty feet from the
sidewalk, and a little girl is going on
crutches from having her knee cap split
by a wheelman on the sidewalk. A baby
was knocked out of its carriage on a
sidep ak on Fourth avenue only the other
evening. These are few of the accidents
being brought to the notice of the Eagle,
and all serious, and the council was COM
PEELED ITO taken office.

That there was some sort OF an engage
ment at Santiago On Tuesday seems to be
practically certain, but the details OF it
are so contradictory that it is impossible
to tell, in advance of the official report,
just what happened. The Indications are
that Commodore Schley began q bonn
bardnlent of the outer Notifications of the
city with view, perhaps, of demolishing
them preparatory to clearing the channel
of mines, or to placing in it distractions
to guard against the escape of the Span
ish feet. 1t is extremely improbable that
Commodore Schley had any intention OF
going into the harbor to attack the Span.
Ish feet at this time though he may have
been preparing the way for movement
of that kind in the future. Probably the
Spaniards assumed that his purpose was to
enter the harbor, and now make that the
basis of their claim that he was repulsed,
If, indeed, it has any basis at all, which
is by no means certain in view Of the fact
that they alleged that Dewey had been
repulsed when as matter of fact he had
sunk most of their ships. The probabili-
ty is that when the official report appears
it will turn out that Schley accomplished
all he set out to do at that time, which
was doubtless to smash the batteries
guarding the mouth of the harbor.

detective and government spy, Allan
Pinkerton, has been called into the gov

most the first train after receiving the
message.
When he went away Mr.. Pinkerton left
word that he would be back in two weeks
but friends say he expected to be absent
much longer than that and that tho time
Of his return depends entirely upon his
success in running down q coterie of
