IKE SMITH.
is Caught and Once More in Limbo

1t will be remembered that Ike Smith,
of Cape Elizabeth, under a thirty days
sentence, took French leave of Sheriff
Cram Tuesday, and shaking the dust of
the Jail from his feet departed without
making his address known.
Search was of course made for him, bnt
for several days without avail. : Yester-
day the officers heard Something that
turned their attention to the interior of
the county; and thereupon Deputy sher-
ifs Grover and Griffin took a trip to
Raymond, where they found the escaped
convict snugly harbored at the house of
his sister, Mrs. William Richardson.
They brought Mr.. Smith back to the
city and lodged him in his old quarters
at the jail. He didn't seem to enjoy the
ride bit, though the day was warm and
pleasant and the company agreeable.

and ought hard, driving several right jabs into
the Australian's head aud receiving, several in
return. Both men were tired at the close OF the
round. They renewed the smuggling in the next
two rounds, and each tried hard ior knock
out. Purtell landed oftener and apparently
with greater force, but Barron stood up under
the blows and continued to pound bis opponent
whenever opportunity offered. The sixth
round was a repetition of the preceding two
Purtell was the weaker, but he continued to
fight hard, and Barron tried time sitter time to
finish his man. His blows counted. for Purteli

exchanges he went down from tap on the jaw
and took nine seconds on the floor. When he
arose Barron renewed the attack ana sent him
down again with Highlander in the face.
