Prices, 50 and 75 Cents. Reserved Seats on Sale at Arlington Drug Store. COMPANY SET AT DEFIANCE By a Young Lady Armed with a Stove Poker. Who Comes off Victor in the Encounter. Last evening a special meeting of Co.

Kansas National Guards, of this city, had been called by the captain, E. W. Bowles, for the transaction of some special business. During the evening the report of Frank L. Black, the company's treasurer, was called for and was found present, but the treasurer himself was absent.

As the company desired very much to see Mr. Black, a squad was sent to his store and one man went in to get him, while the rest waited outside. Here the boys in blue were met with the intelligence that Mr. Black was in Wichita. Thinking it strange that they had heard nothing of his departure, they said nothing and went to the Baptist church.

He was not there and they continued on south, stopping at a residence other than Mr. Black's home, yet where he has been seen quite often of late. The squad was divided, the men being stationed so that every exit from the house was guarded, and the "soldier" in charge rapped bravely on the door. The rap was answered by two young ladies and Mr. Black himself, who emphatically refused to accompany the squad up town.

The soldier boy demanded that Black come out at once or he be admitted to bring him out. Immediately there was confusion. The braver of the young ladies snatched up a poker and wildly shaking it in the intruder's face ordered him away. But soldiers are not so easily beaten. Retreating a half block a council of war was held, and part of the squad stood guard while the rest went up town for reinforcements.

In a short time they were again together, and, armed with a written order for the body of the treasurer, a representative from the squad went inside, while the rest guarded the house. The ladies denied that Black was then' there and invited the young man to take a seat. With due gallantry he did so, standing his gun up against the wall, when one of the ladies picked it up and pointing it at him demanded that he vacate. But the Company boy was posted as to the contents of the gun and moved not. A quick eyed sentinel outside observed the man so very 1 much wanted pass from one room into another, and the soldier who had gained admittance at once started after him.

But an unlooked for obstacle presented itself. As the coat tails and heels of the fugitive disappeared under a bed but a few feet away, a voice, decidedly female, came from the bed itself denying admittance. Where threats, entreaties, commands, pokers, rifles and various other "inducements" had failed to turn the zealous squad from the straight path of their duty, they felt that in invading an occupied bedroom they might be going a little too far and withdrew. Returning to the armory, after discussion it was decided to hold another meeting to-night, and the attempt to capture the slippery treasurer was for the time given up. It is probable that he will be in attendance upon the meeting to-night.
