Sowers, along with a daily edition, the Daily Beacon, both founded in 1872. The main competitor of the Eagle was the Democratic Wichita Weekly Beacon published by David G. Weekly editions lasted until 1919 when greater demand for daily newspapers made such publications irrelevant. Following the Januissue, the title changed to the Wichita Weekly Eagle in an apparent attempt to help differentiate it from its daily counterparts. The Wichita Eagle simultaneously published a daily edition called the Daily Eagle in 1884 and the Wichita Daily Eagle until 1886. The paperвЂ™s headlines frequently concerned railroad expansion, the cattle and wheat industries, and temperance unions. The Eagle's popularity continued to increase with the growth of the region.

Just as the people of Wichita welcomed the arrival of the Eagle, railroads bringing cattle from the south helped establish Wichita as the вЂњcow capitalвЂќ of Kansas. As publisher, Murdock, commonly remembered as вЂњMarsh,вЂќ expressed to the newspaperвЂ™s readers that вЂњthe ambition of its founder is, and will be, to make the leading journal of the Great Southwest.вЂќ

In 1864, Murdock enlisted as a lieutenant colonel of the Osage and Lyon county militia in the wake of Confederate General, and former Missouri governor, Sterling PriceвЂ™s raid on Kansas. Marshall Murdock began his journalistic career at the Burlingame Osage Chronicle in 1863 before moving to Wichita. Murdock (1843-1906), assisted him as publisher and editor.

By 1877, the Eagle's readership reached 1,500 as WichitaвЂ™s population grew to over 4,800 five years later circulation swelled to more than 2,500 in a county of 18,000. It boasted a circulation of nearly 400 in a city of only 1,500 people. The first issue of what would later become widely known as the Eagle was published on April 12, 1872. Established in 1870 and named after an Indian tribe, Wichita was the seat and largest city of Sedgwick County.
