1889. Railroad. Notes. Sunday and Monday were very busy days for the shop boys owing to the vast number of stock trains going through. It is estimated that over 6,000 head of cattle have gone through in the past 48 hours for Kansas City and 1,500 for Chicago.

The runaway horse yesterday which attracted so much attention with the boards attached to the hitch rein, is the property of Miss Iliner. at 1113 Market street. The horse was tied to the fence and in some way became frightened and started off, when Miss Iliner endeavored to hold the animal, but failed to do so, and was dragged a short distance and received such bruises as required the attendance of a physician, though no bones were broken.

The railroad boys speak very highly of Frank McKeon, who pulls passenger train No. 2, as engineer. It is said that his care on the night of the washout at Wakarusa, saved the entire company of passengers, as the engine was stopped within two feet of the bank, below which the turbulent waters the bridge then washed away, had spanned, but now was an abyss of seething waters. The time was about 2 o'clock in the morning, which is an engineer's most difficult time of work. The Hutchinson Fair Association will hold its third annual meeting Sept.

ROMANCE AND REALITY. Twa Yankee Boys Organize an Expedition Against the Indians. Two boys left a quiet Massachusetts hamlet the other dav with a high and mighty mission, says Texas Siftingstt Wearied by the long delay in settling the Indian problem, and enraged, perhaps, by recent newspaper accounts of fresh outbreaks, these lads set out the other day to see what they could do toward effecting a settlement of the vexed question. Having organized themselves into an Indian expedition, and recognizing the necessity of money in order to carry out their plans, they secured a loan of about a thousand dollars of a neighbor, while he was asleep, and started for New York. But two such nimble and enterprising boys could not take themselves away from their native village without being missed, and as the money was missed about the same time they were, information was telegraphed ahead which resulted in their being arrested on their arrival at the New York Central depot.

They had already invested some two hundred dollars in guns, revolvers, ammunition, blankets, game-bags to carry scalps in, Indian dime novels and other articles necessary for a successful campaign against the red men. They boldly announced that they were en route to fight Indians in the Far West, and believed that they would be able to realize enough money from the auction sale of the effects they would capture from them to make good the money they had taken. They were sent back to Massachusetts to answer to the vulgar charge of burglary and robbery. Some people are unable to comprehend high, chivalric natures in boys.
