these:
"Mr. Winn. within the last few days

paused. but he gave no answer, aud In a
few seconds ! asked: .'What have you to
say about robbing us?"
al have" was his response.
| then said: "Ned. what in the world
could have induced you 10 do this?"
His reply was: "Perhaps l needed
money"
then said: "That could not have been.
for YOU had moneyto your credit here, and
we would not only have lent you what you
needed, but, IL necessary, would have gone
out and borrowed 1t for you"
"How much have you takeny" asked.
He replied: "Only a'small amonnt."

"Oniy a short time"
said 10 him: "Mr. Winp, we think dli-
fereutly, and / am satisfied that the amount
is not less than 30,0e0." lie replied: "Not
so: IL has been only small sum and has
not exceeded one year In time"
then sand TO him: "Mr Wmn, l do not
know or pretend TO say that all liars are
rogues, but / ssy that l do know that all
men who steal Will lie."

lie again objected TO signing, and l told
him that II ne, after this conduct, could look

Mr.. winn finally signed toe paper, which

Mr.. Fourqurcan said further that be held

Der OF years, and the relations between the

ply to Judge Ingram, Of Manchester, for the

Sr. Louis, Mo-, Feb. while boring
an ariesian well al Grones Bros brewery,

few days ago, an. oily substance was
noticed on the water that was met at n
depth Of 700 feet.-i The boring was con-
tinued, and at depth Of LOO ieet the oil
was found in considerable quantities.
Tests proved IL TO be crude petroleum. A
pump has been Mt work for several days,
and, though a very imperfect experiment,
brings up about two barrels Of oil day,
mixed with large quantities Of water.
Quite strong odor Of gas accompanies the
stream, and at times heavy pressure
is generated. The well will be bored
