40. L. w. ENTERTAINMENT.

Wichita Lodge No. y entertained the
members of the A. o. L. W. and their in
vited friends in their customary genial
way. The hall was crowded with guests
and the inviting music soon had the dane
ing element in the raptures of the dizzy
waltz. The degree of honor rooms were
thrown open to the card players and con-
versationists and every department of en-
etrtainment was well patronized and
equally well enjoyed. 1t was near mid
night before the assemblage broke up, and
pleasant evening which IS always ex-
pected at these entertainments was re-
corded to the credit OF the entertainers by
all the guests.

SHORN OF HIS WEALTH.

A party giving the name of Morris, from
Sumner county, found himself at day
break yesterday morning lying in an alley
in the rear of gambling house in this
city without a cent in his pocket andwith
out an idea in his head as to how he came
there. lie remembered that on the pre-
ceding evening he had drawn $500 from
the bank for the purpose of buying corn,
and that not making his trade he kept the
money in his pocket. Toward evening he
thought he would buck the tiger, ''and re-
members losing $50 in what he claims was
a brace game. He also remembers of hav
ing ordered and paid for several rounds of
drinks but from that time until yesterday
morning his mind was a blank. just how
he was robbed he is not certain, but sup
poses the parties deliberately put their
hands in his pocket after he became I'M
unconscious. He could not make up his
mind TO prosecute anyone yesterday, and
does not know but what he was lucky TO
escape with his life. He was out just $500,
however. and was feeling very rocky into
the bargain.
