VIM. SmoothboX, government
prisoner, escaped from the city hold
over last Tuesday night and is still
at large. Smoothbox is wanted for
selling liquor at Chetopa without a
government license. About a month
ago the deputy revenue collector
called on Smoothbox at Chetopa
and finding that he did not have a
government license, Informed him
that he would have to take him into
custody. SmoothboX pleaded igno-
rance and begged the collector the
privilege of taking out a license
then. To this the collector assented
and together they proceeded to the
home of SmoothboX for the purpose
of making out the papers. Arriv-
ing at the house the collector was
provided with a chair and Smooth
box stepped into an adjoining room
to get pen and ink. This was the
last seen of him around Chetopa.
The United States officers have
been looking for him ever since.
Recently the revenue collector
came to Galena in search of Smooth
box and got the assistance of Mar
shall Rains. No clue was discovered
of the unlawful whiskey dealers
whereabouts at that time. but since
then the marshal has kept close
lookout for him, and Monday night
SmoothboX was arrested i'm Pet
Rays house of i'll fame on Red Hot
street. He was taken to the cooler
and United States Marshal Hubert
of Fort Scott was telegraphed. HUI
bert came in Tuesday evening to-
take the prisoner to Chetopa. HUI
bert postponed taking him until
Wednesday morning and as con-
sequence went home alone.
During the evening Smoothbox
was furnished drills and other tools
by some parties from the outside,
and with these he drilled hole in
the city cage sufficiently large to
admit the passage of his body. He
then babe goodbye to Joe Kenyon,
who was confined in the jail, and
crawled out. Kenyon, although af-
forded an excellent opportunity to
escape, wisely concluded to remain
in the cage, and at the first opportu-
nifty hailed a passerby and got him
to tell the marshal of the escape of
SmoothboX. Marshal Rains was
soon present and after. making an
examination of the premises insti-
tuted a search for Smoothbox and
the parties who furnished the tools.
About train time Rains, accompa-
MED by U. S. Marshal Hubert, went
to the Gulf depot where they ar
rested two suspicious characters
and marched them back to the city
and locked them up. They were
Humphrey and Andy Torbett, and
proved to be the fellows who fur
nished Smoothbox the tools with
which to effect his escape. They
were securely locked up and the

MUST GET UP A PETITION.
Decision of Judge Fouse in the Populist
NOhin ion Case.

Nonination Case.
SrEINGFIELD, Ills, Sept. lS-Judge
Fouke, OF the Sangamon circuit court,
has rendered decision in the mandamus
suit brought by jackson L. Jessup and
Charles T. Palmer, Populist nominees for
the senate and house in the Forty-fifth
senatorial district, againt Secretary of
State Hinrichsen, asking for an order to
compel him to issue certificates of nom
nation TO them. The secretary of state
refu |ed to issue certificates, claiming that
under the election law the petitioners
could be nominated only by the petition
of per cent. Of the legal voters of the
district. as the Populists had not poiled
per cent. of the vote at the last general
election preceding the coming one.
This the secretary claimed was the Judi
cial election of June, 1888, when Phillips
was elected to the supreme bench to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of Scho-
field. The petitioners claimed that the
presidential election of 1892 was the last
general election, and also called into ques-
ton the constitutionality of the law, be-
cause 1t required n per cent. of the voters
to nominate, citing California supreme
court decision in ain alleged similar case
was heard on demurrer of the secretary
OF state TO the petitioners declaration and
Judge Fouke sustained the demurrer In
support of his decision regarding the con-
stitutionality of the law he quoted the su-
preme courts of New Jersey and Penusyl-
vania sustaining the requirement of IA per
cent. OF the voters to nominate. The
court also held judicial election to be
general election in the meaning of the
law, and quoted the statute in support of
the holding, it saying:
THE term general election as used in
this act shall apply to any election held
for the choice OF a national, state, judicial,
district or county Office, ETC., whether for
full term or the filling of "a vacancy"
The petitioners lawyers gave notice of
appeal. II the higher urts.sustain Judge
Fouke's decision the Republicans will
be compelled to nominate by petition in
all the counties of the Fourth supreme
judicial district and the Fifth judicial cir
cult, thirty or more in number, and the
Prohibitionists and Po2ulists in those
counties, and in the counties of the Fifth
supreme judicial district, besides Cook
county.
