money and goods under false prctenses.
His methods were new and doubtless
original. Dressed like o farmer, and car
rying q bride in one hand, he would go
into a store and buy a small bill Of goods,
and say he would pay for it in about twen-
ty minutes, al soon ns he sold a horse.
Then he would take'the goods, and, with
place and ask for the loan Of rs cents to
get his horse out of a feed barn, leaving
the purchased package as security until the
horse was sold. It is said, foolish as the
game is, that he took in nearly every mer-
chant on street before he was arrested.

The newly discovered gas we'll at Rice

emit fully as strong aud powerful IL cur
rent as when first piped, and the lights
from the pipes can be seen for miles.
Over a la-inch pipe q large cap has been
placed, with an opening on either side,
and when the gas in this chamber is light
ed the flame bursts forth in the shape of a
huge umbrella. The heat is so great that
U half-inch rod held in the blaze soon
reaches a white heat. Experts have been
summoned, and steps toward organizing a
company are being taken. Fifteen wears
ago on the same farm q vein of gas was
struck while digging q we'll, but the people
IN the neighborhood were so frightened
that the we'll was abandoned. Late re.
ports confirm the theory that mn mex
haustible supply of gas underlies section
~ of Riceland township. A scheme is
now foot to at ME construct a large res.
eryoir at the wells and pipe the gas into
ALERT Lea. 1t is believed this can be
done by July 4th. Mr.. Olson has wisely
refused several big offers for his land.
