SECURED. MONET AND CLOTHES
FROM SUPERINTENDENT LEE'S
. COTTAGE WHILE LATTER WAS
AWAY HAD ALMOST COMPLET
ED THREE YEAR SENTENCE.
(From Saturday's Daily.) '
-A convict, Ralph Smith, by name,
who, for the past six months, haa been
employed on the outside as a trusty,
escaped from the prison yesterday, af
ter stealing from the house of Superintendent-J.
D. Lee a ault of clothes,
and about 337 In money. . .
The theft and escape occurred some
time- between 3 and 7 o'clock p. m.
Superintendent and Mrs. Lee were
away on a visit to -.friends In" Mon
mouth, and the convict. Smith, was
engaged In doing some work about the
place, and thought, no doubt, that this
would be a good time to get away. He
lid not stop long to deliberate over the
matter. He was not missed utttl roll
call time, -which was shortly after 7
o'clock.
As soon as it was found'that he-had
really ' gone, search was at once insti
tuted, ; which developed the theft of
the clothes and money. So far as could
be learned last night, nothing was ta
ken or disturbed 'by the runaway ex
cept these articles. . v :
Smith was convicted of the crime of
burglary in Josephine county, and-1 was
sentenced from there' to a term of three
years In prison, and had but six month's
more to, serve. He has a, good prison
record and has never caused any trou
ble since his incarceration.') .
' Description have been sent 1 out to
he different towns in the surrounding
country, and the chnoe. are that he
will be captured in a 'few days.
Although it is not known the-exact
hours of his elopement,' it is believed
that he departed on
the, afternoon
northbound overland, s he was seen
he
it the Penitentiary JLt 3 o'clock. : and.
TaVlng money to purchase a ticket and
being divested of the prison garb, he
would attract no unusual attention. .

valued at about $2,500, to tho plaintiff,
Hattie L., Powers, the defendant, "Guy
Vt. Powers, withdrew his cross-bill
asking for a divorce, and -refused to
out in any evidence in defense. The
?ourt after hearing the evidence ad
luced in behalf of plaintiff, arid argu

tiff had failed, to make out a case en
the ground of "desertion but that there
was sufflclent' evidence in letters writ
ten by the defendant '4o plaintiff to
corroborate her charge- of (cruel treat
ment, and therefore, granted a divorce
to plaintiff. Both parties seemed well

Marvin Martin, a timber Iocater, of

Mr'. Martin has spent "the past four

take some steps to protect the timber

a few months there will not be a sec

There has been a great deal of spec

amount of piling that has been passing

whence It comes. Almost every day
several car loads go over the railroad
through this city. .This; piling is got

which havebeen' completed between
the Chicago 'Open Board of Trade and
the Wefctera Union Telegraph ' Com
pany bid fair to make the former in
stitution a formidable rival of the
larger one across the street. On Mon
day morning the quotations of the open
board win be put on the Western Un
ion wires an hour In advance of the
figures furnished by the Chicago Board
of Trade. It is said that, the 'open
board and the telegraph company have
enlered into a contract covering a per
tod of ten years, the telegraph com
pany paying a remuneration on a
graduated scale at a nominal rate for
the first year, to be increased each
twelvemonth.
It is also, announced that negotia
tions have Been 'consummated where
by the old open board building on La
Salle street will be remodeled by the
Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, which
ocntrofs the property, for the benefit of
the open board. With commodious
quarters : and the co-operation of the
Western Union, the officials of the open
