The Tough Time Experienced by Column
bus, o., Man.
Several times yesterday afternoon the
force Of clerks in the counting room OF
the REGISTER were disturbed by muti1ed
cries, and two or three attempts were
made to ascertain the cause, but as the
noises were thought TO proceed from
the street, or from men yelling at each
other through the telephone condults,
in front of the office, the search was
abandoned. Later there was a repeti-
ton Of the cries, and by attentlVeIy
listening, the words "water!" water
could be made out. This started the
search anew, and finally the noises
were located in portion OF the cellar,
under the counting room, where
bags OF waste paper are temporarily
stored until they can be shipped TO the
mill. When the rear doors were opened,
a faint voice was heard 10 cry, "Oh,
give me waterm and rescuing party
was soon making its way over the sacks
of paper, one carrying a torch, and the
other glass Of water. In the extreme
front of the cellar, under the Market
street sidewalk, man was found, al
most dead from thirst, lack Of food, and
the close confinement he had been sub
iected to. He was given a glass OF
water, which he swallowed at gulp,
and clamored for more. He was re-
moved from the cellar to the counting
room, where he first drank half-a-dozen
large glasses Of water, and then said he
~ int
the cellar to sleep on Monday last. He
was unable to find his way out or make
himself heard, and would doubt as
have succumbed IL day or two more.
He refused to give his name.

on the Holbert farm, southwest Of Man
nipCton, which came in few days ago,
aud is good for 1000 to 1000 barrels a
day. has attr acted general attention to
that region, and leads TO the general be-
lief that there was plenty more oil in the
vicinity. The other wells being drilled
near IL was watched with more than or
binary interest, and yesterday two Of
them tapped the pay.
They both belong to the South Penn
Oil Company, which controls nine

Delmar we'll and Warrington, is doing
about 1000 barrels. Together they
have an output of 2, 200 barrels.
The South Penn OF! Company's well
on the Wright farm, located northwest
of the Tetrlck, will be in the sand next

week, owing to fishing job, but the
lost tools were gotten out yesterday.
One of the owners Of the Mills well,
on Fishing creek, stated yesterday that
the sand would be reached to-day in
that vicinity.
The test well al Proctor, IN the north
western part Of Wetzel county, drilled
by Lineman, SpeIlscy * Co., is reported
TO be a failure. They were on about
IS degree line from the Sistersvllle
field, and expected to tap spur Of that
or any other field which might be lying
around undiscovered.

evening to the effect that the we'll at
Waverly, In Wood county, which is be-
ing drilled by Poole 81 Co., was in the
Big Injun and good for 100 barrels a
day, but the rumor could not be con-
frIned by facts.

he asks damages against the defen-
liant for $4,000. The parties to

The Downfall of a Soldier.

The following article taken from
the Mexico Ledger, refers to man
who will be remembered by MANY of
the ex-COnfederate soldiers in Pettis
county, and who served with him I'm.
der Generals Price and Shelby:
Judge George l.. Towner, the ex-
tobacco king Of North Missouri, died
in Macon City this week. He was
captain in Prices army and distin-
guished himself in the battles of
Carthage, Lexington and Wilson's
Greek. Some years ago it would
have been difficult TO estimate his
wealth. \ few years before death
ended his eventful career he was
forced TO sleep in stable-lofts and
like places in and around Macon.
While rich he was always liberal and
willing to relieve the oppressed.
Liquor refrigerated this man until his
former friends refused to recognize
him and many times he was hungry
ragged and sick. He was even perse.
cuted and if any man in the state ever
appreciated Saul of Tarsus' career it
must have been George L. Towner.
Finally he was so conspicuous on
Macon's charity that he was invited to
the poor house, which invitation he
gladly-accepted. A year or so ago he
was elevated through the assistance of
old friends who awoke to his condition
