Mr.. Chas Smith is the genial proprietor
of leading restaurant at that place Like
all well regulated Establishments of the
kind, il finds the presence Of pretty femi-
nine help advantageous, if net indispensa-
bic. In this case the proprietor's daugh-
te:s furnish The help. but, like all femi-
mines, they are susceptible to the wiles and
Establishments of the opposite sex, and,
being handsome, rec i've full share of
such attentions from lspguishing youths
and dudes. Among the latter is one Bill
Robbins, who runs a barber shop In the
burg For some time past he has been pay
ing his devotlons to Mr.. Smiths eIdrst
daughter, but, for reasons which are
probably best known to himself, Mr.,
Smith does not look upon Billie" with
the same amount of favor his daughter
does. AS consequence be has taken oc-
cssion more than ono. 20 order the amorous
knight Of the razor 20 keep out Of bis din
ing hall except at meal timss. The suit
of which, as is generally the case, is to
make the lovers more hrm, ardent and per-
sistent in having their own way, so much
indeed, that
AN ELoPEMENT WAS PLANNED.
This, however, came TO the ears of Mr..
Smith, and when the critical moment ar
rived he was prepar. and determined TO
Illustrate it. The time set was Tuesday
morning, the means torse and wagon. Ac-
cordiugly at on early hour, just as the
chickens were Growing for day, the amorous
William mis ht have been seen hitching
his team convenient to the restaurant. A
moment later he was in the dining room
hurriedly aiding his dulcinea 10 don her
closk, while about the floor lay bundles
and packages ready to be placed In the
vehicle. But hardly was the couple pre- ared
to gather their traps, when the door opened
and pater families with huge hickory
club, made his appearance. Without
word he reached for William, and the way
he mansged to troE2ce him was only
equalled by the Iusty yells OF the victim
himself. Then he
KICKED HIN OUT DOORS,

and bruised, lacerated in heart and body,
William took his sesm home, breath ng
vengeance on sill stern parents In general,
and Smith in particular. Later 10 the
day, as Smith stood in front of McGowan's
store, conversing with friends on the &C.
carrence of the morning, his victim, Will
liam, came up the street, and apprO aching
Smith, drew and leveled upon hIm large
revolver. But Sheriff Beb Bib bad seen
the move, and in a twin king seized The
irste lover and disarmed him before he
could do any damage. Att.r which h.

for carrying concealed weapons and bound

assault, and another charging him with
SEEMING for fish contrary to the statute.
Smith was arrested and gave bond to appear
fer trial yesterday. and then swore out a
warrant charging Robbins with attempted
abduction and another charging him with
gambling.
The BAZoo informant stated that as a re-
salt the friends of The contendiRg parties
had taken the matter up, and about half
dozen more warrants, the nature Il which
vas not learned, had been issued for OF Der
parties. The battle in the courts gan
yesterday in dead earnest, but the result
has not yet been learned.
Wednesday was an eyent'ul day In
Warsaw, and fully gave promise fcr first
class time In the early part OF the day, but
as the afternoon advanced the black clouds |
relied away, leaving nothing but the echo |
of their low thunder to disturb the sun
shine of peace that settled down upon The |
city.
During the early part of the day the
const able and his deputies were
subp9nas upon the whole population, and |
as If 10 add to Ia excitement Charlie
Schmidt, armed with double barrelled
shotgun and fu 1 hunting equipments, pa
raded the streets in front Of his hoIel,
cursing In unmeasured words his enemies,
and defying anyone TO attempt his arrest.
In the meantime, however, the last of
his three daughters had succeeded in
making their exit, and they are said to
to be all safely housed In Sedalia. Be !

longer holds them and il is not imp -obable
tina, they may yet see The day they will
feel that their poor old father, who is ore
of the most honest, hard working men In
Benton county, was far more friend to
them than the giddy throng who led them
toignore his commands and waste his sub.

the bstils for warrants for arrests con-
tinued to pile up before the amazed JUS
tice, some of the more weak kneed began to
think perhaps after all old man Schmidts
boast "dat know somdings too" was not
idle, and the result was that shortly after
noon he was the recipient of q message by
flag of truce, that if he would cease hos

also be silenced and all charges
