From the New YORK SIM.

From the NetD York Sun,
When the oil excitement spread from Penn
sylvania to Ohio, German near Liverpool be-
gan to sink we'll in his back yard All the
work was done by hand power, and his drills
were OF the cheapest make. He hammered
away Tor week after week and month after
month, until ne was pretty near the roof over
China. Then few of us planned to give him n
surprise and make life worth the living or at
least few hours of it. We got a gallon of
crude oil and poured it into and around the
well, in which the drills were still at work This
was done at night, and next morning when we
got around there, according to agreement,
Hans was sitting on bench, arms folded, and
his pipe alight.
What Struck it at last, - exclaimed one of
the boys in great establishment
Yaw, hat struck her" was the calm reply.
Really got oil! Old fellow, let us congratu-
We all shook hands with him, got down and
tasted the oil and inspected the WELL and finally
one of the crowd inquired:
Hans, do you want to Sell out?'
"Iaw, sell out" was the complacent re-
joinder
We'll, we are here to buy if we can get
satisfactory figures. You know as well as we
do that your well will probably prove hum

a Wicked Plot Foiled.

The attempts of people to swindle others
are 80 numerous and sometimes so remark
able that it is not often that one attracts
more than the usual amount of public at
tention, but the case that was brought to
light at a preliminary examination in Phla-
delphia the other day may be regarded as
extraordinary.
Annie Mcintosh, Of that city, was a do
nestle in the house of DIR. Murray, who
persuaded her to join a society containing
an insurance feature. The policy was for
1928, and was in his favor, and
it is understood that he paid the
assessment. The girl finally concluded to
withdraw from the society, however, and
the doctor led her to believe that her resig-
nation had been accepted, after which he
went to work to get the insurance money.
Miss Mcintosh had left his house, and he
thought it was very good time to strike.
He promised a woman $25 to allow him to
insert in the newspaper a notice that the
girl had died at her home, and then he
went to the medical examiner of the society
to ascertain just what course he would have
to pursue to get the money. He found
some difficulties in the way, such as the
necessity Of getting the alleged
attending physician to certify that he had
seen the dead body of the girl, but he
thought he could overcome them, and prob
ably he would but for one circumstance.
One of the girls friends, after reading the
notice of her death, went to the house where
she was staying, and found her alive and
in excellent health. The girl went at once to
police headquarters, and when the coroner
proceeded next morning to investigate her
alleged death, about which he had his
doubts, the whole plot was so clearly
brought out that the doctor made a full
confession, endeavoring, however. to hide
behind the petticoats of his wife.
Miss Mcintosh is fortunate in escaping
with her life. A man who is SO depraved as
to concoct and attempt to carry out such a
plot can hardly be said to be too good to
commit murder in order to get a little
money. Knaves such as he ought TO be
dealt with by the law, if there is any law
that will reach them. They would be much
less dangerous in the penitentiary.
