THAT HUGE LIE.
To the Editor of the Haste.
CAi.Dwr.LL, Ivan Nov. ID. Please say in
your paper tomorrow that tho citizens of
Caldwell aro indignant at tho article which
appeared in your paper today in relation to
the bilver mines of thu city. It seems hardly
prolablo that Caldwell, iith her railroad
facilities and geographical situation, with
tho vast territory lying south of us and trib
utary to tiis point, with her natural advant
ages and present importance as a city, would
stoop to any such low nioaiig- as this article
suggests in order to create a boom. "We are
having our boom without and before the sil
ver mines were discovered. In regard to the
silver mine?, wo can show tho editor of the
Eagle, or any of hL representatives, silver
ore, and let him dig it out of tho earth,
where ho will And plenty of it. and as far as
the statement is concerned about its being a
huge lie, we say the lie is on tha other side,
and if 3ou or your representatives will come
here w e can provo it. We mean business
and our assays aro bona fide, but any one
who will investigate can take tho ore out of
the ground and get their own assay.
The article complained of was the result
of an interview by one of tho local report
ers of tho Eagle ivith four gentlemen (their
names wero given in the article), and its
verbiage was as nearly word for word as
related by them as it ivas possible to give
them. The Eagle would greatly prefer to
know that tho find near Caldwell is real gen
uine, and the assays bona fide than to
think it a hoa. But tho estimates of those
gentlemen, who are experts in mining, so
nearly coincides with tho assay niado by the
Denver parties, mention of which was copied
into yesterday's Eagle from tho Denver
Chronicle, that the natural conclusion of the
disinterested was and is that tho find near
Caldwell is not so rich as represented, to
draw it mild.
SliKiOUSIiY IICJIT.
A 7-yea-old lad, named Stampss, was run
over by a hor&o yeatenlaj near tho Lincoln
school building, und, among other injuries
sustained, was a broken leg. Tho horso was
under tho control of its driver, 21r. Rouser,
a lad of 12 years.
It .cecnis that it has been the custom for
some timo in that section 1 hen school was
dismissed, tho b03rs on horse would chn.se
their brother pedestrians purely for tho fun
of seeing them run. . '1 his, it seems, ha3 be
coino a part of the ('aily program and led to
the serious accident 3'esterday.
A gentleman who had heard of tho acci
dent took tho liberty last evening to give
vent to his opinion on fast riding in tho city.
''The tima has come hen the city officials
should put an end to this fast riding in tho
city limits,"' ho commenced. "That accident
of course is partially tho re'sult of negligence
in that particular. TI13 last few weeks havo
witnessed sovoral less serious ones from the
same cause Ilarely ever anything of this
kind is stopped until it is suggested by a
num'.er of serious accidents. Fow aro apt to
intereat themselves in tho necessary steps un
fc'l somo relative is hurt. You know self-interest
is the mainspring to action and henca
a nuisance has to be passed around fo a cer
tain extent before an an opposition is devel
oped,'' no's. A. N. J. CROOK.
Mr. A. 1. J. Crock, ox-mayor of Spriug
iiold, Illinois, who arrived in tho cit3 u fow
dujs ago, has decided to make "Wichita L13
horns. His wife and son lefc St. Louis last
night on their way hero and .ill arrivo to
day. Mr. Crook for somo years v,a.s a mem
ber of tho legislature of his native stato and
is porfecfc'3 familiar with tho political arena
and well infoimed on tho questions of na
tional importance, llo conies to "Wichita
not with political a-pirat ions, a.5 ho claims,
but to continue lbs practice of law.
He expresses himselt as delighted .ith tlo
city, and ij thoroughly satisfied that this is
the groat distribuliag point for tho south
west. He is sufficiently westernized to see
how citiy-i can grow without natural gas
m;.in3 or smelting furnaces. Tho theory that
tneso aro indispennblu is a verv bsautif ul
one, but ho considers that facts aro by far
more convincing than fine spun theories.
Ke saj thai more business is done in
Wichita iu oae day than in a whole weok at
Spilii'-uekl. Tho latter citj is not known in
tho cast m a dull one, but is a
5fcod manufacturing town. This statement
stems to coincide with tho miuy often nutuo
(hat i!i0 ease is slow v. hllo tlu west is boom

to municipal aiTair uad ihinlcs that the sew

TIIE GAEFIELD UNIVERSITY.
The last few days has made a fine showing
on tho foundation for tho Garfield Univer
sity building. Tho largo force of hands aro
at work upon the walls and havo reached a
point where the work is beginning to show.
Operations will be suspended when tho cold
weather interferes. It will be impossible
then to contmue at the best advantage, ar
rangements are being made, however, by
which tha timo will not be lost. It is pro
posed to erect tents near the university site
and allow tho stone cutters to work on the
finishing stone and havo them prepared by
spring.
Tho brick for tho building will bo placed
upon the ground during tho winter months,
together with tho other necessary building
material. It is proposed to get everything
in readiness to resume work just as soon as
the weather will permit next spring. They
will work this fall as long a-; it is possible to
do so.
A VISITOR.
Mr. iV. 15. Harnscome, of Denver, Colo.,
is visiting his brother-in-law, Mr. C. "W.
Davis, of tho Royal Spico Mills. He is ac
quainted with tho busy west and booming
town3 but is frco to admit that he has never
seen a "Wichita before, and ho is inclined to
think thero is only ono in existence. He
seems to bo thoroughly pleased with the city
and can now fmoro ully understand tho
many favorable reports ho has been hearing
during tho last few years.
Ho will probabl- leave on his return trip
next Saturday, if his friends don't succeed in
getting him to remain uutil Monday.
A SEKIOUS RUNAWAY.
Yesterdaj afternoon as Dr. I. R. "Wilson,
in compan3r with his uophew, Mr. Rogers,
was driving upon First street from his office
over tho London Tailors, to his residence on
North Lawrence, his horso. a spirited young
animal, bocamo frightened at tho fair sign
placed at tho intersection of Market and
First. The horso wheeled suddenly around,
upset tho buggy and throw both the gentle
men out upon tho right, tho doctor striking
a tree with great forco -and his companion
alighting a short distance behind him. Mr.
Rogers aroso immediately but little
injured and seeing tho doctor also upon his
feet, went in pursuit of tho horse, which ho
captured a short distance nwaj, uear the in
tersection of First with Maiu. In tho mean
timo a number of men rushed to tho scene of
tho accident and caught tho doctor just as
ho was falling in a faint to tho ground. Ho
was placed upon a strofceher and carried to
his home. Several of his ffllow practicioners
immediately went to his assistance. An ex
amination showed that his external injuries
wero not fatal; tho extent of his internal in
juria, however, could not bo determined on
account of tha intenso suffering of the pa
tient.
Lat night he wa3 resting easier.
ANOTHER.
Ycslerda3 afternoon as "Will Hoffman was
driving tho gra3 team used at tha creamery
to a delivery wagon, up Second streat tiie3
becamo frcightencd and unmauagablo at tho

near Main wero captured and young Hoff
mnii dragged from under tho wreck of tho
wagon unconscious. Ho was carried home
and medical aid immediately summoned. Iu
a hour he had recovered consciousness, ami
last evening was reported much better but
still unable to leave his roon.

making ono risk of their luck.
There has b3en many additions to tho arti

MORTGAGE BUSTED.
Yesterday a couple of gentlemen met at
the corner of Lawrence and Douglas ave
nues who evidently had not seen each other
for some months. An earnest inquiry as to
tho health of tho folks followed a vigorous
and prolonged hand shake. When that part
of tho program had been rendered one of
them drew a long breath and looking as
though he was about to mention something
terrible said ho was in "trouble." Tho
"troublo" part of his sentence was well ac
cented and tho .tone at tho same time indi
cated n little fear on the subject.
His friend earnest invited him to "a talc
unfold" and he lost littlo time before doing
so. Ho continued by saying that some
months ago ho had borrowed 500 of a gen
tlemau iu the city .and given him a mort
gage on one hundred hogs and a number of
bushels of corn.
When ho had disclosed this fact his friend
interfered by sa3ing: "Well, that's all
right."
"No, but it ain't," was tho half angiy ic
pl3. "Tho bov-s took tho d cholera and
died, 3011 see."
"Well, 3C3, 1 sea tht,'' said the friend,
"but aiu'c tho corn good for it?"
"Well, Tshould, think not. The hogs ato
the corn before tl'iev died !.'
ANOTHER FOOT RACE.
Mr. Kettleman, tho runner, with his fam
ous trainer, Mr, Sam Swain, arrived in tho
cit3 last night to negotiate for a foot raco
with Archio McComb.
Mr. Kettlcman was spoken to at his room
at tho Manhattan last night. Ho said that
the race had not 3et been arranged, but ho
thought it would be today.
It will be for tho same amount as tho form
er race, tho distance being 75 ards, one-half
of the former. Should tho negotiations bo
completed tho race will, no doubt, be a very
exciting and interesting ono, as McComb
beat Kettleman in the raco at San Francisco
in 1SS4.
JUSTICE COURT.
Juslico Thomas entertained John Wiisou
3'esterday in his court. Ho was charged
with attempting to make a sl' hunt iu Mr.
Charles Schot's pocket for his purse on tho
previous da3. Ho seemed anxious to hear as
littlo as possible of tho matter and waived
an examination. He was sent to jail to
await a trial in tho district court.
Warrants wero issued 3esterday by Justice
Walker for two bo3s, Jesso Bethel and Ber
tio Beemau, who were charged with injuring
propert3 at tha Lincoln school building.
The will bo given a hearing toda'.
The usual amount of civil business was dis
posed of 3'esterday in both courts.
SITE TOR THE KOOFING MANUfACTURE.
The compan3 going to operate the roofing
manufacture in the city, an nccount of which
was given some da3s ago in tho Eagle, have
not as 3et definitel3 determined in what part
of the cit tho manufacture will bo estab
lished. For a time it was thought it would
go to tho southeast part but now an offer in
the northeast section is under consideration.
At present it seems more probable that tho
plant will be located at the latter place.
TWO SHOTS.
TuesJaj- night a gentleman on North Law

a couple of chambers wero emptied and the
professional vamoosed.
