The Marietta Daily Leader
SUNDAY, DEC. 10. 1899.
She's Going Home.

Miss Nellie Bookman who was mar
ried at Marietta month ago to j. H.
Finley, was deserted by her husband at
GAINESVILLE, o about two weeks ago.
Finley was employed in the oil fields
here for some time, and when he mar
rled Miss Bookman said he was going
to Missouri, where he expected to en-
gage in business. The young lady's
parents received a letter on Tuesday
from their daughter, announcing that
she was working at hotel in Zanes-
vile for her board. She stated that
she had written four letters home, but
had received no answer. AS the letters
were never received, it is presumed
that her husband destroyed them. II
is reported here that Finley has a wife
and child in Pennsylvania. Will
Bookman talked to his sister over
the phone Wednesday, and received
the particulars of the affair. He sent
her money TO come home on, and she
is expected here this evening.-st.

The Turtle.

The much talked of "The Turtle" "
walked the boards at the Auditorium
last night and in conducted itself with
tolerable moderation. The play is a
rattlng good farce while it has in 1t
lot of mixups that would cause a
mans hair to turn gray in trying to
straighten them out.
Those who attended the produc-
tlon of the farce with the expectation
of seeing something which their bet
ter natures would prompt them not to
see, were disappointed, for there was
nothing especially risque as compared
to the general run of comedies.
The Turtle, as presented last night
needs no more defense than does the
opera, Era Diavola," or Cleopatra
as played by Fannie Davenport.
The company which presented the
play is one of very considerable merit
and they kept the changes moving at
an interesting gait.
The audience was not large one
the attendance being only fair.

Oil News.
YESTERDAYS MARKET

Miller No. in the Turkey Hen field
was shot yesterday and is making a
good showing.
Yesterday F. r. Rose & Son pur-
chased the oil property of Paden,
Pope & Co., at Macksburg, O. The
property consists of 100 acres of land
on which there are number of pro-
ducing wells. The property is one of
the best in that oil field. The con-
sideration was private.--Parkersbur
News
Mr. C. E. Edincott, who lives within
about half mile of Plantsville, fur
nishes us with the following interest
ing matter relating to the oil develop
ment in his neighborhood. There are
two good wells on Robert Embree's
place, four productive wells on the Mr..
Rabberman land, now owned by w. P.
Smith & Co., and two good wells on
the Creighton farm. The Plantsville
Co. is practically home company. A
Lancaster man anu MI NSlHol hah
are stockholders, but the principal
stock is owned by the Plantsville citi-
Zens. There is also a we'll being put
down on the late Lindley Fawcett farm
by the Plantsville Co. Mr. Edincott
expresses his faith in the future pro-
duction of that territory as being one
worthy of the attention of capitalists
from either at home or abroad.-Mc-

Parkersburg Wins.

The foot ball team of the High
School Cadets went to Parkersburg
yesterday to play the team that came
here and gave them game some time
ago. The game yesterday was very
interesting, the score being to 0. The
Parkersburg boys scored the five
points in the last half and won the
game.
The local team complain of their
treatment while at Parkersburg, their
accommodations and the treatment
during the game not being such as the
Parkersburg guests received when
here. They say they had to play
against referees, timekeepers and half
of Parkersburg besides.

Marshal Stopped the Work.

Some carpenters who were building
small frame structure in the alley at
the side of Herman Jahn's saloon yes
terday were stopped in their work by
Marshal Dye. The city ordinances pro-
hlbit the building of frame buildings
in that section of the city The stand,
apparently, was to be used for a fruit
stand and occupied about 10 by feet
of alley space.
Mr., jain says he will complete the
structure or have others of the same
nature removed.

Rural Districts Furnish Most
Customers.

The Miller syndicate's most profit
able fields, as shown by the police ex-
animation of the books and by the
thousands of letters stopped at the post
Office, were the rural districts where
very vague notions of the possibilities
of stock speculation prevail. "A pri-
vate detective who has been investigat-
ing a very similar fraud at the re-
quest of countryman, who had
thrown good money after bad in the
hope of recovering his losses, said last
week. '@Most of these companies which
offer very large profits and guarantee
against loss depend for their patron
age on the country districts. The
small tradesman and the farmer who
have saved a little money by hard
work and strict economy are the men
most easily lured by these schemes. A
year or two ago, a bucket shop that
had flourished in the Tenderloin only a
door or two from Broadway was raid
ed by the police on the complaint of
one of the customers from the coun-
try. He had speculated with them by
mail and made small profit. He saw
possibilities of big jrofts and drawing
his money from the bank he came to
New York to get rich at once. The
bucket shop men worked him until
they got all of his money, but in doing
it they aroused his suspicion. He
watched them and when he was con-
yinced of fraud he asked the aid of the
police. The raid disclosed the way in
which they manufactured their quota
tions to suit the customer. A telegraph
instrument in their main Office was
connected with the inside office by
WIRE That was as near as the Stock
Exchange was reached. The man in
the inside Office received some correct
quotations and these he telegraphed
to the operator in the main office If 1t
suited the company's trading to do 1t,
and il it didn't he sent quotations that
did. This Office was the headquarters
of a lot of country men when they
came to New York and the men who
ran it, entertained them so we'll that
they didn't protest about their losses,
but came again to make them good.
Some time ago there was a regular
chain of bucket shops up through the
state and their profits were enormous.
When the market went heavily against
them they simply failed and disap-
peared. Their Victim had no chance
to recover anything" From the
statements made by many of the in
vestors in the Miller Syndicate who
lived in the neighborhood of the Of
fee they were not deceived as to the
character of Miller's game. Being
right on the spot, however, they felt
that they might draw large profits
while the reputation of the syndicate
was good and then draw out before
the crash came. The Sun told what
sort of a business Miller was doing a
month before he disappeared, and this
was plain enough warning for any one
The men who have stated that they
knew the business was a fraud and
who stayed in the syndicate Iona
enough to lose their money are worthy
of about as much sympathy as the
men who buy green goods.--New Yorl
