WAsHlSaroN, D. O., December III
Among the thousands Of bills, that have
been presented in Congress SO far, are
about dozen "for the protection Of limo
cent purchasers Of patents" All Of these
bills are intended, more or less, to cover
the famous driven well cases. In Indiana
and Ohio about FIVE thousand farmers
have been compelled to pay $40 each for
infringement In the driven well cases, and
almost every other State in the Union is
interested tosome degree.
Representative Morey, OF Ohio, Is one OF
the authors Of these bills. He says Of the
object to be accomplished: 'Is will make
1t necessary for the patentee to secure
damages for infringement, TO go to the
debtor, or the man who sold the patent,
instead Of the innocent purchaser. To my
mind the driven we'll decisions were in.
famous Agents went over the country
and sold the points for the driven well.
The patentee said nothing. The men who
bought the diamond points for their wells,
paid good price for them. When the
patentee thought the farmers were well
supplied he followed his agents around and
compelled each htarmer to pay $40 for the
infringement As the laws now are 1t is
unsafe to buy any patent unless you know
the patentee. It should be o sufficient de-
Tense to show that the patentwa purchased

day morning terrible suicide was com.
mitted by Frank Shepherd, Western
Union telegraph lineman Of this city, at
Cusacs Station, about four miles south ol
here. Charles z,igfer, farmer near there,
on going to feed the stock this morning
found the body lying in the lane, pre-
senting terrible spectacle. 1t was lying
half covered by a snowdrift in the middle
OF the lane leading to the house, with the
throat cut and bleeding profusely. A large
pocket knife, very dull, was found about
three feet from the body. A trail Of blood
was found leadipga hundred yards away
from the body.
He had been Western Union linemsn
here about six months and was general
favorite. he was educated very well and
had more than ordinary intellect. Ever
since Thanksgiving day he had acted very
queerly, imagining that everybody had
quarreled with him and giving other evil
dences Of q slight touch Of insanity. Yes
terday he informed the manager OF the
company that he desired to leave. he was
reasoned with but refused togive the cause
for leaving, and sent in his resignation to
the superintendent at Cincinnati.
One reason for his suicide Is said to be
that a girl In Illinois he was about 70
marry had died, and he thought about Il
until he became insane. No papers were
found about him except kilograms, tele.
graphic reports and letters from his sister
In Union, Me-, where be has also brother.
