Somebody Short Changed.

The police force was called upon by
Everett Armstrong Saturday evening,

the butcher two dollar bill to be
changed and took his change and
started away, when Mr.. Cisler called
him back and told him that he had on
ly given him a one dollar bill. Some
argument ensued and he claims that he
went to show Mr.. Cisler the money he
had received in change when he grab.
bed at it and succeeded in getting IF.
ty cents away from him.
The officers communicated with Mr.
Cisler who says that Armstrong wa:
trying to work a fiimfam or shor

Cemetery Trustees Meet,

The Board of Cemetery Trustees met
for organization at the Office of City
Clerk Becker Friday evening, The
members elect, Messrs. Garrison and
Shires, were present and took their
seats. The annual report of Superln-
tendent Westgate was received, ac-
cepted and ordered presented to Coun-
Gil.
Mr.. Shires was chosen president of
the organization, and a motion to
continue Mr. Westgate as superintend-
ent was made, but that gentleman re-
fused to accept the appointment
unless MIR. Daniel Farrell should be
retained as sexton. AS this PROPOSE
tion did not meet the absolute appro-
val of the new members, the matter
was deferred until next Monday even
ing. 1t is thought that the organizat-
tion will be completed then.

Special to the Leader.
Macksburg, O., April ga terrible
accident occurred o., the McManus
farm at this place this morning. Mr..
Clarence McManus, Sr., who owns the
farm and the oil interests, was super
intending the work at the wells. A
boiler used for pumping the wells

He made his way from the scene Of the
accident without aid, but apparently
unconscious, to the Hamilton hotel
where he is being cared for. He is
terribly scalded and his recovery is
doubtful His son, Clarence, Jr., ar
rived on the afternoon train and As al
the bedside of the injured man.
The cause of the explosion will prob
ably never be known, as Mr.. James
Walters who works on the lease had
left the boiler house only few min.
utes before the explosion. The boiler
had been patched up Friday, but
whether or not the patching had any.

Suit for PAYMENT of Money.

A suit has been filed in Common
Pleas Court entitled Louis Bules VS..
A. c. Fleming in which Bules seeks to
have Fleming ordered to pay him a
sum of money previously agreed upon.
The matter rises from an agreement
in which Bules was to make a deed to
Fleming of certain property upon the
payment of $1,000. Fleming made one
payment of less than one hundred dol
lars and has never paid anything fur
ther. Now Bules has executed the
deed and deposited 1t in the hands of
the Court and seeks to compel Flem-
ing to pay the balance due on the con-
tract. Fleetwood, smith G Leeper are
the attorneys for the plaintiff and Nye
& Follett for the defendant. 1t prom
ises to be a suit of much interest

500 REWARD. S 90.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one DIRE AIDED disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh cure is
the only positive cure known the med
zeal fraternity. Catarrh being a con-
stitutional disease, requires a consti-
tutional treatment Halls Catarrh
cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
OF the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer One Hundred Doll
ars for any case that it fails TO cure.

Oil Workers. Union.

Findlay, o., April IA national Or
ganization of the Oil Workers union is
being formed. Within the past three
months, District Organizer Frank M.
Treece, of this city, has organized un-
ions here and at North Baltimore,
Cygnet, Bowling Greene, Lima, Ham
mondsburg and East Toledo. 1t is
probable the headquarters of the nat
4onal organization will be located in
this city, because of its central loca-
ton in the oil district. 1t is proposed
to extend The organization of oil work
ers into the fields of Indiana, Pennsyl-
vania and West Virginia.

The Nye Homestead Wanted fol
Historical Purposes.

The Society known as the Colonial
Danes of America want very much to
become possessed of the Nye property
on Washington street and their repre-
sentatives here are said to have stated
that if the owners will accept what
they feel like giving for the property,
that speedy deal will be the result.
1t is expected that they will receive a
reply by next Tuesday from the heirs
of the property in New York, and then
they will know just what can be done
toward getting possession of the de-
sired property for historical purposes

Oil Notes.
YESTERDAYS MARKET

The Pop Corn Oil Co., of this city,
feel very much elated over the fact
that the Myers well at Chesterhill is
showing up SO nicely, as they have a
lease of 200 acres right up along side
the farm on which it is located.
The United States Oil Co. have drill
ed their Cassiday No. 2 at Moore's
Junction through !, Berea sand and
have duster. The streak was very
thin and made no show of oil worth
mentioning.
Their we'll on the Busch farm, oppo-
site the head of the island, was drilled
in Friday and is "a very nice producer.
The we'll being drilled on the Cisler
farm at the head of Eighth street is
progressing finely and they should
reach the sand in very short time
now
The lease of the ]. T. Morris tract
in Marion, has at last been secured by
II. c. Lord, of Marietta. The consid-
Grafton Is private, but it is known that
SO, 900 has been offered for the lease
and it is said that Mr.. Morris has been
offered $4,000 cash for his farm
McConnelsville Herald.
1t is a difficult thing for operators
some times to change their minds as
| to the direction of an oil belI after tht
existence of a pool has once been es'
tablished. This has been illustrated
by lease holders to the northwest o.
the Scio pool. 1t has taken about sil
dry holes and non-paying producers tt
convince them that an extension does
not run in that direction from the
field proper. The latest and rankest
duster of the whole lot has just beer
comple,e by Mcdonald Co. on the N
S. McLain farm. They got the san
formation at a lower level than is the
rule in that territory and 1t contained
neither gas nor oil. The location is {
little more than a mile southeast o.
the duster on the Walters farm, to the
northeast. From opinions expressed
it can be gathered that those best in
formed on the developments are nov
convinced that the field has seen it
best and no amount of drilling will eX
tend the producing limits beyond thu
dry holes that form a complete circl'
around the outer edges of the old de
velopment This, however, will no
deter the wildcatters from jumping ;
good distance across the dry holes AM
trying for a new pool and 1t Is by NJ
means improbable that they will no
meet with success. 1t is quite likel!
that there are other Berea pools il

aciated. In others he gets grossly cor
pulent, and weighted down with habby fat.
In the first instance he is a candidate for

second for kidney trouble or heart failure.
