of Muncie, who shot to death Miss Minnie
Mccall Fleming at the home of his parents
two months ago, escaped with light pun
ishment at the conclusion of his trial at

eighteen years old. Attorney Ralph Ross,
who came to the boys rescue when his
parents even had failed to intercede in his
behalf, claims a big victory, for the boy
had pleaded guilty and was ready for
States Prison for life when Ross took the
case, without hope of being paid.
He pleaded that the father of the boy
was insane, and the boys bad training
had been responsible for his act. and scored
the boys mother, who was alleged To be
drunk during the trial. At the home of the
boys mother Minnie Fleming lived as a
boarder. She had been living with James
Mccall as his wife at Matthews, but Nc
Call abandoned her. She was a friend of
the boys mother and came TO their home.
Ii was shown that Minnie had been drink
ing beer. and had young Driscoll buy IL
for her. When ne refused to rush the
cam she threw glasses at him, chasing
him around the house. He jumped i'm a
bedroom window, and Minnie followed him.
He secured a revolver from a bureau
drawer. and the girl left him. She soon
returned to the room and defied the boy to
shoot her. He did, and she fell dead with
a bullet in her head.
The lad confessed and no defense was
offered. The dead girls mother resides

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Aug. 29.-The
Indiana Pipeline Company, which is the
transportation branch of the Standard Oil
Company, is engaged in moving one of its
large steel oil tanks. The undertaking is
a gigantic one and the only work Of the
kind ever attempted in the Indiana field.
The tank is twenty feet high, eighty-five
feet in diamater and has a capacity Of
5000 barrels of crude oil. 1t has been
used as one of the large storage vessels
near the pumping station near Montpelier.
An e~mbankment over three feet high. en-
circling the tank and the point to where
IL will be moved. has been built. This
was filled with two feet of water, and the
monster tank is being slowly towed to its
new location.
Several large oil tanks like this one have
been struck by lightning recently and took
fire. This one stood near the company's
gigantic pumping station, which is filled
with powerful and costly machinery, and
IL was feared that If this tank should be
struck by lightning or burst ii would de-
stroy the station.

MARTINSVILLE. Ind, Aug @--The
story in the Journal from Wabash detail
ing the manner in which a respectable
looking German farmer. presented a deed
for a certain farm in that vicinity and al
most swindled an insurance company out
OF 5000 by m~ortgaging the farm 10 IL, re-
calls a similar transaction here a few
months ago, when the same man, appar-
emily, was successful in securing that
amount of money.
He had his deed properly recorded here
in this city for the Allison Breedlove farm,
near Monrovia. this county, and negotiated
a loan from an Eastern insurance company
through the local agent. He got away with
his money and nothing has ever been heard
from him until now. 1t is firmly believed
that Henry Ullman-as he was known In
the Wabash deal-is no other than Henry
Ulrich, who got the $1,000 here from the
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany.
