The last chapter OF some sensational
cases of highway robbery enacted in
Wheeling on the night OF August "a last,
was read in Newark, Ohio, Sunday.
The story of the narrow escape OF the
thieves and the recovery of the goods
reflects credit on employees in the SER
vice of the United States Express Com
pany and is told In the following spe-
cial dispatch from Newark;
on the night mentioned Gala Mitch
ell and William Donaldson were driving
along the National pike. At a point
about mile and a half out of Wheel
ing they met a man and his wife
screaming. They alIghted to assist
them, supposing that It was a runaway,
and We're promptly brought under the
guns OF the highwaymen. They sur
rendered and Mitchell was compelled to
give up 81 In gold, lot Of old coins and
valuable solid gold Elgin watch. On
the morning of the day following two
men stepped into the United States eX-
press office at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and
shipped package to Harry Brady in
Newark. AS soon as the package ar
rived in Newark the express people put
Il notice In the mails and Harry @.
Brady, brother OF CIV. Brady, the city
clerk, called for It. As soon as he
opened the package he found that 1t did
not belong to him and turned It over to
Marshal Griffith. That officer, suspect
ing that the property was stolen, COM
municated with i. r. Lane. the express
agent at GAINESVILLE. He in turn COM
municated with Cliff Frye, the local
agent at Newark, and some time was
lost which seems TO have been valuable.
on August 26 two strangers called at
the Newark office for n package for
Harry Brady and exhibited u receipt for
it issued ut Barnesviiie. They were
told that II had been taken out and they
left suddenly, saying that 1t had prob
ably reached its destination. They
were probably two Of the five men who
participated in the robbery.
The general superintendent OF the
United States Express Company took
the matter up and opened correspond
ence with the works at Egin, Ill. They
responded. saying that the watch, the
number of which was given, had been
sold to New York dealers, who had sold
1t to Goddard & Hill. wholesale dealers
Of Pittsburgh Pa. They had sold 1t to
Hebrank Bros, OF Wheeling. and the
local agent, MIR. 1ngersoll, had lnstruc-
lions to investigate. Both brothers OF
the firm In the meantime had died and
their business and books had gone into
the hands of W. j. Lukens. An entry
in the latter showed that the watch in
question had been sold to william
Lauchlin, jr, who after the purchase.
some time, had shot and killed himself
incidentally II was learned that dur
ing his lifetime he had traded a watch
to Mitchell, the liveryman, and in that
way the ownership of the property was
fixed.
Mr.. Mitchell came to Newark on Sun
day with eX-Chlef OF Police r. T. Nc
Nichoi, of Wheeling, Identified his prop
erty and 1t was turned over to him.

Sh5 Deepest Well

The deepest well in the world will soon be completed near Pittsburg, Pa. It is now more than one mile deep, and when finished it may reach down two miles into the earth It is being bored in the interest of science. The obi 9ct in pene- trating so deeply is 10 determine just what the lnterio or of the human footstool is like. From a commercial point of view the we'll was success long ago. At comparatively few feet below the sur face, both gas and oil were struck in pay ing quantities, but the company owning the plant determined to dedicate it to science and invited Prof. William Hal lock of Columbia College to carry on series of temperature investigations as the hole is carried deeper and deeper in- to the earth. The results of these inves- tigations are very interesting, and it is the opinion of several well known scien- lists that the ultimate result of the bor ing will prove to be of widespread eco homie as well as of scientific value. Most significant of all the facts 30 far ascertained is that the well grows stead fly hotter as it's depth increases.
 The temperature of the Pittsburg we'll at depth of 5000 feet, was found to be 1909 degrees Fahrenheit At the bot tom the temperature is 128 degrees Fah- renheit. The well in it's present stage is 5502 feet deep This gradual rise is found to exist all over the world, al. though it is more marked in some places than in others In a deep well near Wheeling, w. Va, the temperature is 51 degrees at the top and no degl ees Bt the depth of 4,500 feet In the Speren- berg salt we'll, near Berlin, the tempera- ture is about 47 degrees at the top and l1S degrees at depth of 4170 feet In the Schaladabach salt we'll, near Liepsic, the surface temperature is about 5l de- grees, while at 5740 feet it runs up to 35.5 degrees. External conditions seem in no way to affect the temperatures of the wells M X s. Press
