The Driven Wells.

4 large and enthusiastic indignation
meeting was held at the Court House
last Saturday afternoon, by the people
of Buchanan county who have been
asked to pay a royalty upon the patent
of Green's driven well. Speeches were
made by number Of the most promi-
nent farmers of the county, protesting
in strong language against the outrage,
and advocating violent measures for the
suppression Of the same. A committee
on resolutions was appointed, who re-
ported as follows, the report being
adopted unanimously:
For the purpose of defending the rights of
the citizens of Buchanan county and vicinity
in the right to use the driven wells and all
other articles that they have honestly paid for
from any royalty, that any supposed patentce
or inventor may see fit to exact from them.
Resolved, That in the language of Jefferson
the lend of all law is Justice and in collecting
the second time for the driven well, or any
other patented article in use, is in open viola
ton of all justice, as the common people are
not expected to understand the patent laws of
the United States.
Rcsolued, That every article from the steam
engine to a ladyS garter is patented, ana IN
view of the fact we are liable to be called
upon to pay the second time for every article
used in the shop or on the farm.
RESOLVED, That inasmuch as everything that
enters into our every day use is patented, and
deeming the action of any agent or attorney
in engaging in the collection of royalties upon
an of such articles, an open violation of all
principles of justice we shall treat them as
common crimes, regarding the collection of a
debt the second time as equally unjust as re-
fusal to pay in the first instance.
ResOlped, That we hereby notify all lawyers
and officers to beware of forcing unjust collec-
lions from the people Mt any time.

Bound OvER.-The case of Samuel
Walton and Paul Stevens, arrested for
kindling the fire which consumed John
W. Carson's barn year ago, an account
of which we gave in these columns last
week, was tried last Monday and Tues
day, before Squire Gillett. in this city.
The testimony was full and convincing
as to their guilt. The principal witness
was w. A. Brewer, son-in-law of Car
sons, who was working on the farm at
the time of the fire. Brewer testified
that the whole scheme to fire the prop
erty was matured for months ahead, and
all the details arranged to insure sue
cess of the plot. Carson assigned as
his reason for committing the crime,
that he had been paying out money for
insurance for a number of years, and
had realized no benefits from it, and
now that he was heavily insured, he
proposed to get even with the company.
Not unlike this, was the Irishman's
reason for not having his life insured.
Begorra," said he, " eff l had my loife
insured, 'twould be jist my luck to niv-
er die" Squire Gillett found them
both guilty, and bound them over to
the next term of the District Court,
fixing their bail at $500. Failing to pro-
cure this they now languish in prison.
The examination of the principal in the
affair, Carson, will take place before
Squire Gillett, Dec. 18th.
