Arkansas City: livery stable leased to Calvin Ferguson and D. A. McIntire of Wichita...
Arkansas City Traveler, January 21, 1880.
L. C. Wood has sold his livery stock and leased his stable to Ferguson & McIntire of Wichita. Mr. Wood will improve his vacant lots on Fifth Avenue. Fifth Avenue draws, don’t it? With little or no improvement on that street it more than holds its own against all odds, and now that the mail will come up from the depot on that street it will continue the boss Avenue in town.

HACK TO GEUDA SPRINGS, Wednesday and Saturdays of each week. Office at McIntire & Davenport’s Livery.
Arkansas City Traveler, October 5, 1881.
The dance on Grouse Creek last Friday night was a complete success, but we should judge from appearances that the one up the Arkansas River was a grand failure, and so badly disgusted one of our b’hoys that when he drove into town he mistook George Russell’s peach orchard for McIntire’s livery barn.

D. A. McIntire’s Livery in Geuda Springs catches on fire...
Arkansas City Traveler, April 19, 1882.
A small boy at Geuda Springs, last week, built a fire under a manger filled with hay in McIntire’s livery, the flames of which soon reached the mow, and in fifteen minutes the timbers were falling. Two fine buggies were burned and one horse suffo­cated and burned to ashes. The parents of that small boy should persuade him to stay at home until another barn can be built.

Arkansas City Traveler, June 14, 1882. Editorial by H. P. Standley.
Geuda Springs. On Wednesday of last week, in company with J. W. Scott, of Cadiz, Ohio, and his son, C. M. Scott, we made a flying visit to this new and prosperous burg, which is fast becoming one of the most popular health resorts of the West. Driving along on the east side of the Arkansas River, through a magnificent farming country, now adorned with waving fields of golden grain, in some instances already bending before the harvester, we could not help but feel how glorious a country this was of ours. About four miles up the river, from Arkansas City, as Geuda looms into view, one can hardly realize that a few short months ago the present thriving town did not exist; not even on paper. Crossing the river on the ferry, run by W. V. McCormick, we climbed the river bank and came in full view of the town of Geuda, glistening in the sunshine of a bright June day, about one mile distant. Upon arriving at our destination, and having turned our team over to the care of D. A. McIntire, formerly one of Arkansas City’s liverymen, we looked around with a view to dinner, and were directed to the Hotel run by J. A. Notestine, where we partook of as good a meal as one could wish, but totally unlike the bill of fare we indulged in, on nearly the same spot, ten years since.
Messrs. Ferguson & McIntire have a large and well stocked livery barn, and are doing a lively business, and immediately south of their stable will be found the blacksmith shop of Joe Jolly.
