drilling if no coal was found. In case
coal was discovered they were to be
paid rs cents foot extra. They began
operations at once and, after reaching
a depth of 1877 feet reported that they
had struck vein of coal. Mr.. Rede
went to the place where the men were
drilling and on the removal of the drill
it was shown thai it had passed
through three foot vein. Mr.. Rede
was elated over the prospects and paid
the men at once, who Immediately took
their departure. He bought lots OF
adjoining land and pictured himself as
a millionaire coal operator. He sunk a
shaft ten feet by five to depth of 127
feet, but on reaching the supposed vein
found only few pieces of coal that
had been placed there, undoubtedly by
the drillers in order to receive the adj
ditional pay. Mr.. Rede spent $4,000 in
sinking the shaft and all he has to pay
for his trouble is an immense hole in
the ground, which will be filled up at
another large expense. He is a pop
ular and progressive man and the peo-
pie at Albany are considerably in-
censed over the matter. 1t is said war
rants are out for the arrest of the
swindlers and if they can be caught
will undoubtedly pay dearly for their
dishonest cash.

who prevailed upon, him to remain for
a time, though he had no intention of
making it his permanent home. When
it became known he was physician
he was frequently called upon to pre-

his practice increased, and he kept de-
ferring his return to Indiana until fl
nally he abandoned the idea altogether
and thus became permanent resident
