George Townsend, a colored man,
jumped from the third story of a dwell

officers were so surprised that Townsend
made good his escape
The place was quarantined yesterday
noon. Last evening the officers went to
the place to take the persons to the de-
tention hospital. While the officers were
getting the other people out Of the house
Townsend made his leap and was not OBJ
served until he struck the ground. He
was not injur ID and ran away at top
speed.
Townsend was furious when the house
was quarantined and threatened all day
TO escape He was 50 closely watched,
however. that he was unable to make the
attempt until the officers attention was
distracted for few moments.
The police were notified at once and an
attempt will be made to apprehend Town

TWO TRAINS A DAY
Double Passenger Service to
Blackwell, O. 7.
PAN HANDLE POINTS
To be Reached Daily by
Through Passenger Trains.

Beginning next Sunday morning Wich-
tia will have double passenger service to
Blackwell, o. T., over the Santa Fe and
also daily through passenger TO ANA
rilIo. Texas.
The morning train to Blackwell will
make connections with the Panhandle
train at Wellington and will arrive at
Blackwell at 1870 p. m. This will be a
great advantage to both Blackwell and
Wichita. AS it is now, it is impossible
to get into Blackwell in the morning. By
taking a circuitous route. 3 p. N. is the
best that can be done. This change will
be a great benefit to the readers OF the
Eagle as it viii enable them to get their
papers by l O'Clock, instead of from 8
o'clock In the afternoon to midnight or
to the next morning. The north-bound
morning train will run through to Au-
gusta instead of stopping at Mulvane.
The Panhandle passenger train now
stops at Woodward, and from that point
south there is only a daily mixed train.
Next Sunday the passenger will run
through to Amarillo. arriving there eev-
eral hours earlier than the mixed train.
The present arrangement of the mixed
train has proved very unsatisfactory to
the travelling public, to the mail service
and to the express companies, running
only six days and arriving at near mid
night. This will give a direct connec-
ton from Wichita to ali points in the
Panhandle country and be a great help
to Wichitas business in that district.
