AMONG THE HORSEMEN.

There was an interesting gathering of horScmen on Conetia Park, one day last week. Walter Clark of New Ha- ven had "Little Dutchey," w. c. Bee man was out with "Willo-B," Hubert Thomas with Alley M.," and James Marsh with "Achamar." The step- pers were hitched to buggies. It had been arranged to have grand contest, but "Achamar" was debarred, because MT Clark weighed a hundred pounds more than Marsh. Clark was willing to race Marsh provided he put on the additional weight. Finally race was fixed up between Beeman, Clark and Thomas. Beeman's "WillO-B" proved winner, making great race down the home stretch. Friend Evitts, who was watching the race with keen in terest, along with others, said it was easy to see which was the best horse in New Milford and he didn' need any opera glasses either. There were many who regretted thata race was not fixed up between "Little Dutchey'' and
 'Achamar."

MERRITT SEES SHOOTING STARS.

MERRITT SEES SHOOTING STARS.
 Owing to recent events in his life, the genial jeweler, Hill, is said to be figuring on how much $lOO,0OO life insurance policy will cost. It was at a recent gathering of Red Men. and after witnessing the cOnferring of the degree most of the braves stood about smoking. Some one noticed Hill wasn't smoking and the attention of the great chief was called to it. Now it seems that the Danbury men brought up some loaded cigars and by accident (Of cOurse) one fell to Merritt. Obeying the command of the chief, Merritt pulled the cigar out and began to smoke, but soon he fell back with a tremendous start when great red flame shot from his cigar across the room. The boys all applauded Hill and congratulated hlm on his mar row escape. This incident, with the addition of other recent experiences in his career, is the reason he is studying life insurance tables early and late.

A GREAT MEDICINE.

''I have used Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and find it to be great medicine," says MT E. s. Phipps, of Poteau, Ark. ''It cured me of bloody fiuX. I cannot speak too highly of it." This remedy always wins the good opinion, if not praise, of those who use it. The quick cures which it effects even in the most severe cases make it a favorite every where. For sale by R. H. Beers x Co.,, Newtown: Taylor, Curtis X Co.,, Sandy Hook: w. \. Hurd, Long Hill: E. c.

WICHITA THE GOAL
Runaway Wife Pursued by
Angry Husband.
1T is A GRFAl RACE
Both Are Due in This City
This Morning.

This morning a terrible tracey IS due
in Wichita At late hour-that is, when
the Eagle went to press-it had not come
of. but # was expected every moment.
The police are on the alert. and az the
first crack Of gun the finest" will turn
out in full force.
A remarkable race is going on, and
Wichita IS the goal It is between an
eloping wife. her husband and the man
in the case. The eloping couple left
Hutchinson Monday afternoon with the
enraged husband only a short distance
behind them. They were due here last
night, and SO was the husband. He was
mounted on a fleet bronco and was armed
to the teeth when he left the city Of salt
yesterday morning. He arrived at Hutch
inson after dark Monday night and after
putting up his horse in a livery stable so
that it would be fresh for a resumption
Of the chase yesterday morning, he sought
the solace of religion and attended the
Salvation Army meeting. He stated his
grievance TO that body Of regenerated
souls and they sympathized with him. He
said that some time ago he was away
from his home, which is in Colorado.
Upon his return home he found that his
wife had eloped with another man. She
had taken most of their household goods
and a team and wagon, besides q valua-
BILE stallion. He was heartbroken over
his loss, and no wonder as the last men
toned horse was worth several hundred
dollars. The elopers had good start,
but the husband swore he would get even
with the man who swiped his wife, If he
had 70 follow the swiper and the swipee
TO the ends of the earth.
BY some power OF the rabbits foot he
struck the right trail and gained upon the
misguided man who fondly believed that
be could steal hearts and horses at one
grab with inpunity. The trail and the
purusers wrath became warmer at each
bound Of his bronco, and he spurred for
ward until at Hutchinson he was only
few miles behind. Between Nickersop
and Hutchinson he met man who had
seen the fleeing couple. They were seen
between Hutchinson and Burton, and
their goal was Wichita.
The police Of this city have been noti-
fed and they were looking for hot time
in the old town last night. Since it did
not occur last night they are looking for
it this morning The names OF the par
ties could not be ascertained. Ihey viii

seven victims were harvest hands who

with their pockets lined with greenbacks
and stopped over in Wellington with a
view to locating other harvest hg sec

of his reflection in the store window. He
paused and made a short extemporaneous
speech to the strange visage, and re-
ceiving no reply from the unrecognized
mug Deering out at him, he became OBJ
streperous and lunged out at the refec-
tion. made mis-step and fell through
the window glass. The crash OF the
breaking glass was heard by the officer
and he took charge OF the slippery one,
and after removing him Lodily from the
window frame. rang Tor the patrol wagon

comfortable berth at the police holdover.
