Another Petition.

Sioux City, Ia.-Rumors are afiOat
to the effect that the liquor inter
ests are planning to circulate an.
other petition of consent in Wood.
bury county after the November ell
ection. John F. Joseph, attorney for
the Anti-Saloon league, is authority
for the statement that another mulct
petition will be started in the win
ter.
This county, outside of Sioux City
has been saloonless for more thar
year.
1t is possible that pressure will
be brought to bear upon the liquor
people in an effort to have them
drop their plan to circulate a new
petition of consent. The country has
not yet recovered from the evil eff
fects of the circulation of the last
petition.
The temperance people feel thai
they cannot financially afford at this
time, another fight against a peti-
tito. A considerable sum was spent
by them in their successful efforts
to defeat the last petition.
Woodbury. county temperance peo-
pie would welcome the passage OF
the Shankland bill, the intent OF
which is to eliminate the mulct pc
tition plan and substitute the Aus
tralian ballot to decide liquor mat
tiers in community. They are dis-
satisfied with the strife and turmoil
created by the 1910 petition, altho'
they won.

ant in the division office of the IL

JAIL DELIVERY AT SUMNER.
Foxy Trick Played on the Smncr
Marshal.

The people over at Sumner are
haying a sensation. A prisoner lock-
ed in the lone cell Of the city Jail has
escaped, aided by parties on the OUT
side, and the marshall, as we'll as
the citizens Of Sumner, are looking
for the escaped prisoner and those
who are responsible for the escape.
Saturday evening Rev. Williams
and the Forsy the boys, whose father
IS conducting a revival meeting at
that place, thought they heard at the
tabernacle a noise that sounded sus-
picious. They looked all through and
about the building, but found moth
| ing wrong. Finally the suspicious
sounds were again heard, and this
time the searchers were rewarded by
discovering the source thereof in a
vacant lot near the tabernacle When
! they came close to the place they
could see a dozen or more young
men and one lone woman. The mar
shall was notified, and upon his ar
rival the young men skipped and left
the woman all alone. One of those
who ran away finally returned to
see what would happen. The preach
er had the two arrested, charging
them with improper conduct. The
marshal made the arrest and took
them before Justice Noon, who con-
tinued the case until Monday. Now
the marshal was up against a prob
lem. The Sumner jail contains only
one cell, and here he had a man and
woman, both prisoners. After a
lot of thinking, the young man was
released upon promising to appear
| for the trial. When the marshall
arrived at the Jail with his prisoner,
he locked her up, but she asked him
to bring her a pitcher of water.
While the marshal went to procure
the same, somebody broke the lock
on the cell door and liberated the
woman. And now the people of
Sumner want to know who played
this trick on the marshal.
