Special Dispatcl. to the Intelligence.
sTECBENV1LLE, o., Jan. 1.-THE
VIII OF Alex. Mclean, of Augusta, Car
roll county, which has just been pro-
bated, has in it strange and very pecu-
liar provisions. 1t is all in his own
writing and covers three pages. He
states that it is his wish that he be
buried in q coffin made OF pine boards
taken from store boxes, and that he be
laid away in his Oldest and most worn
out clothes, as he could "see no use in
usirs good Clothes to rot in the ground, "
He wanted the coffin we'll packed with
straw or ~sharings and some pieces Of
old quilts or comforts, with q piece of
old carpet on top.
He wanted the coffin two inches thick,
so no outside box would be necessary.
On the stone marking his grave he sim
ply wanted, "a. NIB. 10 mo. 14th, 1916
-D-N-1S.'" He wanted "Eo chiselirg
NN, as such is useless pride" To the
friend who will dig his grave he left his
best coat and vest. His disposition Of
small! items and %keepsakes was almost
humorous. Requests are made to his
wife and daughter, who have been dead
several years. The will was not opened
until after burial, SO the strange pro-
visions were not observed.

lNTIE OIL FIELDS.

The roads out into the country from
S!stersvllle are In much better shape
now than they have been for some time
and a number OF operators are taking
advantage OF them to get the necessary
material Into the field. Quito a number
OF wells shut down on account of the
roads being in such n condition that
teams could not pass over them, and the
majority OF these, have been started
again.
There is very little news to report
from any OF the fields of this state at
present, and particularly Is this SO OF
the Elk Fork territory, which has been.
attracting more attention than r OF
the others. The latter part of this week
ought to see quite q number OF wells
nearing the sand and some Of the more
advanced ores should be in by that
time.
The Argus OIL Company is on top Of
the sand at No. s on the Snyder lease In
the old development and the we'll Will
prabobly be drilled In early this morn
ing. 1t was shut down last evening to
move the boiler back.
The fearless Oil Company's No. l on
the ". w. Gorrell lease has been drilled
into the sand and,i showing up 10Y
for about 100 barrels q day. 1t is loca-
ted only a short distance from the same
company's 10. . on the Agnes Gorrell,
and vas something Of a disappointment.
The Agnes Gorreil well, showed up for
better than 900 barrels a day when
drilled in and it was expected that the
other well would do at least 400 or SEQ
a day.
After considerable delay, the Victor
OIL & Gas Company has finally pulled
the casing from their No. l on the
Smith lease. out near Centreville. and
the well Will be drilled in without put
ting in the 6A casing. 1t was due in
the sand last evening, but nothing had
been heard from 1t at a late hour. It
will probably not get the sand until
some time this morning.
In tho same section the Klondlke OIL
Company, which has BEEN fishing for
some time a. No. 1 on the Jefferson
farm, has been unable to get the tools
out and the well will be abandoned at
once and a new hole started.
TO the southwest OF the late develop
ments in the Elk Fork field, the Sun Oil
Company has started drilling at a test
well or the Cunningham lease. This
we'll is located q little to the west Of
developments, ond is a most important
one, as it may open up a large amount
Of new stuff.
Cowell G. Mccormick's we'll on Fifteen
Mile creek, in Washington county, Ohio.
is due in the sand to-day.

MIsHAPs."

Another large audience laughed fo-
two hours anG a half over "McCarthy's
Mishaps,' the S~furiously funny farce
which is on the boards for q half week
at the Grand opera house. Ferguson
and Ryan are very clever Celtic come
dians,and they are supported by a COM
petent company, including 4 bevy OF
very pretty women. The sp~ecialties are
very pleasing. The German dialect
singing was encorcd repeatedly. One of
the funniest things ever witnessed upon
any stage, Is the acrobatic turn by
Ferguson and Ryan. in the last act. The
engagement of "McCarthy's Mishaps"
will conclude with matinee and evening
performances to-day.

Early this morning II appears that the
cold weather spell had It's backbone
broken for keeps, At midnight the
schnepf thermometer showed l6 desrees
above zero, and declining slowly. II Is
not thought the nights low temperature
mark will be lower than y or Il degrees,
The prediction for to-day'is for warmer
weather.
Early yesterday morning, the governs
ment Thermometer eauulled Wednesday
mornings record for cold weather, the
mark being three degrees above. one
degree above the record of the winter
made the morning before.
The cold weather has made the ice In
the rivers very heavy, and only the
largest and strongest boats are able to
continue navigation. Yesterday the
only departures were the Lorena and
Queen City, and to-day the Ben Hur.
and Virginia are the only departures.
All the other boats have gone TO the

set out In his back yard; they gave him
the cold shake. If it was even an old
broom, 1t likewise took wings Finally
he thought It time TO call halt.
The police were notified, and yester-
day evening Mr.. ouiTi placed several
wine cases in his back yard as bait.
officer Michaels secreted himself In ad-
Joining territory with his weather eye
open. After the shades OF evening fell
two meE crept stealthiiy into the yard,
and with familiar ease ard grace began
TO pick up the cases as of yore.
Then Michaeis swocped down on his
prey. but they saw him coming and
made for the open timber. He. dashed
after them and succeeded in catching
them after a hot chase. The men were
William O'Brien and Thomas Cavan-
aush, and when taken before Squire
Fitzpatrick, they pleaded guilty. and
were committed 10 Jail, In default OF
bond, TO await the action OF the grand
Jury. Mr.. Quinn estimates his loss
from the constant thieving, as amount
Ing nearly to Slo0.
