cal Interest.

A week ago the Standard Oil Com
pany's agents appeared in this coun-
ty and set about leasing all the land
that could be procured for the pur-
pose of drilling for oil. A ropalty of
one-sixth was offered and accepted in
almost every ease, while cash pay
ment to hold the conveyance was In
variably made. AS no oil well had
ever been drilled in this territory,
where there has been good produc-
tion of natural gas for twenty years,

when tall derrick went up and drill
ing was begun, four miles north of
Hagerstown and outside the defined
gas limits. Almost Immediately a
company of Richmond and Cambridge
City capitalists was formed and sec
ond derrick is now building just out
side the limits.

that they truthfully state what has

D. P. LIBBHARDT
COMMITS SUICIDE
AT HIS HOME IN WASHINGTON,
D. G.
CAUSE NOT STATED
One of the Best Known Men in the
Country of Dead Letter
Ofiee.

Word was received in this city TINS
morning to the effect that Mr.. d. +.
Liebhardt, of Washington. ID. G.. had
committed suicide. Those who had
known Mr.. Liebhardt best were 10th
to believe the news correct. No par
ticulars We're contained in the dis
patch save that he had taken his own
life.
The deceased was born in Wayne
county, near Milton, about sixty Years
ago. and was one of the brightest and
best men that ever went out from this
county.
When tie war broke out. although
then quite youns-lis patriotism knew
no bounds, and he enlisted In the 9th
Indiana regiment. On March>l. 1S64
he was commissioned quartermaster
and at the end of the war was mus
tered out as Captain. Mr.. Liebhardt
was painter by trade and was super
intendent of that department Of the
Hoosier Drill works when that con-
cern was at Milton. Later on when
the Dorsey Machine works was orfian-
lied he became a stockholder and also
its secretary. In this capacity he
was both competent and efficient.
In 1888 when Judge John L. Rupe
was chairman Of the Republican eoun-
ty central committee, Mr.. Liebhardt
was its secretary.
During the Harrison administration
he was chosen chief of the dead letter
office at Washington. When Cleye-
land was elected his place was filed
by Democrat. After the election
Of President Mckinley he was re-
stored to his former position. and has
held it ever since Under his admin.
istration he systematized the business
of that Office and printed several PAM
phlets on the workings Of the de-
partment.
Mr.. Liebhardt was married and had
a wife and two children. one of his
daughters dying at Milton several
years ago The other daughter, Miss
Ina. in the department with her faith
er. was clerk under Machen !,
Mr.. Liebhardt leaves two brothers,
Frank of this city, and another at
Milton.
The cause of the suicide is not
known. Mr.. John l.. Rupe, who
knows the deceased intimately well,
says. ''he was over sensitive, and
when the truth is known it will be
found the suicide will be attributed to
that. 1t was certainly not from any
wrong doing of Mr.. Liebhardt for
he was the personifcation of honor
and respect.
