A GENEROUS RoBBER.
Former Barre Man Has Strange FIX
perience in Oregon.

The following is a clipping from an
Oregon paper relating the strange ex-
perience of Mr.. and Mrs. Byron p.
Reynolds of Portland, Oregan. They
were formerly residents of this city
and Mr.. Reynolds is an uncle of w.
G.. Reynolds. '' a.. .'".
For the first time in two weeks a
holdup was reported at the police head
quarters this morning. Byron P. Rey-
nolds, well known in this city, was
one of the victims, for four persons
were held up. The lone highwayman
was operating on the Sandy road, and
secured about $50 for his nights work.
Mr.. Reynolds was driving home in
his carriage with his wife, about $50
o'clock last evening, and on reaching
Gravel hill, on the Sandy road, near
the junction with the Gully road, was
robbed. A short, stout man with a
heavy black mustache jumped out from
the side of the .oad and ordered Mr..
Reynolds to halt, at the same time
poking a nickel plated revolver in his
face.
"Take that gun away" exclaimed
the driver. II don't want it pointed
at my head; it might accidently go
off,"
"Well, hold up your hands then, "
replied the robber and the victim
complying, the revolver was lowered.
The highwayman then searched Mr..
Reynolds pocket and found purse
containing about 1923. A massive gold
watch was in Mr.. Reynolds vest pock-
ct, and when the robber was removing
the timepiece, the victim asked him
to leave it, as it had been gift from
his father.
"Well see what it looks like, part
ner," said the hold-upman, as he ex-
amined the watch. He evidently was
no Judge of watches or he would have
kept it, as the chronometer was worth
800.
Having completed his search of the
husband, the lone highwayman turned
his attention to Mrs. Reynolds, but
she told him he had enough booty
without robbing her. He asked her
if she had a watch, but before she
could answer he snatched a chatelaine
purse, which was suspended from her
belt, and emptied it's contents, secur-
ing about 81. Placing pair of gloves
which he had removed in order to Sc
cured the money, back in the purse he
returned it with thanks and permitted
the couple to drive on.
Mrs. Reynolds with great presence
of mind, had removed very valuable
diamond ring from her finger and con-
cealed it in the cushions of the car
riage while her husband was being re-
lieved of his change, and it was for
tunate that she did so, for the first
thing the robber did when searching
her was to feel for rings.

Miss lerrv.

There visited Marietta last evening
picturesque" and novel young wom-
an in the person CT Miss Jerry" who
is the central figure in Mr.. Alexander
Blacks picture play, called Miss
Jerry"
The plan of the play is wholly ori
ginal with Mr.. Black, and the labor
involved in it's detaiT in order to pro-
duce it must have been very great for it
requires scores of Photographic plates
bearing the representation Of a multi
pliclty of scenes, indoors and out
AS the scenes are thrown on the can
vas Mr.. Black recites the dialogue
which gives the figures in many a
nearer semblance to life, and t-e story
of Miss Jerry goes on from start to
finish almost as vividly as though she
were hesh-and-blood girl going
through the part.
The house was full almost to con-
dition of overflowing, and it was a
pleasant audience which visited the
novel play.

a new road bridge will be built over

to admit of the electric street cars be-
ing extended TO the West Side; new

two producing wells about six miles
from Beverly on the Pottmeyer farm
near Watertown and are preparing to
drill several more in that vicinity.
Saturday nightthe Muskingum river
played prank" that was a new one
to the river men. The rains of Sat
urday afternoon and evening caused
the river to rise below the dam six feet
while above the dam there was a rise
of only one and half-feet The usual
proportion of rise is twice as much be-
low as above.

TERRIBLE
Nitro-GIyCerine Explosion Kills Two
Men.

The deadly and powerful nitro glyc-
crime used in shottlng oil wells again
demonstrated the fact that the man
who handles it has but one accident or
makes but one mistake.
George French, an oil we'll shooter,
and Harry Carmichael, spectator,
were instantly killed Wednesday af-
ternoon about three o'clock, at T.
Gartlan 6 Co.'S Williamson No. 1 well,
FIVE miles from Ellenboro, in the
Whiskey Run oil fed.
The cause of their death was the ex-
plosion of a single quart of nitro
glycerlne, which was to have been
used by French in making squib to
set off sixty quart shot of the high
explosive which had already been low
cred into the well.
Teh well had been cleaned out and
the sixty quarts having been placed,
French procured another quart to
make squiD to put off the big shot.
When coming into the derrick he
tripped and fell, causing the quart to
explode. There were several men in
and aboubthe derrick VINO were work
men on the well and young Carmichael
who lived in the neighborhood, was on
hand to see the well shot.
Mr.. Gartlan, one of the owners of
the well, witnessed the horrible accl-
llent from point about 300 feet away,
and the five other men were in the
derrick.
Frenck,s body was thrown about 90
feet and horribly mangled Carmich-
ael's body, likewise horribly mangled,
was thrown out Of the rig.
The derrick, bull wheel, etc, were
torn to pieces and scattered slyward
but the three other men by running
escaped with few cuts and bruises. The
string of tools were thrown over and
slipped down into the we'll, but, luck
lily, the cable did not part and the shot
in the well was not discharged.
A ten dollar bill was found near the
derrick which had been blown out OF
Erench's pocket.
A very fortunate incident occurred
at the time of the explosion. The es-
Gaping gas ignited and would have
consumed the bodies of Carmichael
and French and the rig had not the
tools slipped down the hole and shut
off the escaping gas.
Beside the two men killed Carol
was the only one who suffered any
Fgreat injury and the tremendous pres
sure of air burst the drum of his righl
ear which will cause him to lose the
use OF it.
French is thirty-fve years of age
and made his home at Sistersville
where he leaves a wife,
Carmichael was but nineteen years
of age and lived on an adjoining farm
