GOT $1,000 FROM 4
TEN CENT PUMP

Utica, N. Y, Nov 6.-John Rob-
erts of Watkins, Schuyler county a
well driller, last week purchased of
Angelo Dupree, a junk dealer, an
old pump for 10 cents. 1t was APP
parently of no value, but he thought
there might be some parts that he
could use in his business. When
Mr.. Roberts and his assistant took
the pump to one of the wells. they
were drilling and started breaking 1T
up, they were greatly SURPRISED to see
gold coin drop out of the holes they
made They at once finished the job,
and found $4,000, nearly all in $40
gold pieces. Who the pump belonged
to at the time the money was hidden
or how long it had been there is a
mystery The latest date of one of
the coins was 1888 Mr. Roberts
at once deposited his find in the
Farmers and Merchants Bank lat
Watkins. He is willing to surrender
the find to any one who can prove
ownership, but no claimant has yet
appeared Thes junk man will make
a memorandum to examine the in
side of every old pump before dis
posing of it at any price.

said. in part:
We are threatened with q revival OF federalism,
and with a federalism that is more extreme and
radical than the leaders of the old Federal party
ever sanctioned. The argument proceeds on the

BOMB In CAPITOL TRIAL
S. b. Le5ois Tells Of Contractors
discriminating Com Dl1int.

Harrisburg. Penn. Feb. 1.-THE climax in the
state Capitol conspiracy trial was reached this
afternoon just before the commonwealth closed
when Stanford B. Lewis declared the witness
stand that John H. Sanderson. the contractor.
one of the defendants. complained that he did
not want TO cut down his bills because he had
to put up big wad for other people"
Lewis also testified that the letter which he
produced yesterday. with the explanation that
1t was responsible for his being indicted for con-
spracy in the Capitol prosecutions. had been
written and brought to him by former Auditor
General Snyder, a defendant in the present case
for his signature. and that in it Lewis was made
to say that he had certified TO a bill for $751;,
735 20 paid to the Pennsylvania Construction
Company for metallic filing cases which he had
found correct.
As told by Lewis. sanderson's statement was
made in the spring of 1906. when the contrac-
tor paid a visit to Huston's office IN the abb
sence of the architect in Europe.
Mr.. Sanderson came to Office with bills
for which he requested architects certificates"
Lewis said. THE board OF public grounds and
buildings had ordered a reduction in some of
these bills. I told Sanderson what instructions
had been issued. and he protested against any
cut in his bills. He said he didn't see why he
should have to lower his bills when he had 10
put up big wad for others"
After whispered consultation among the at
torneys for the defence Mr.. Gilbert exam
ined the witness briefly and then he was allowed
to leave the stand. No reference was made by
Mr. Gilbert in his cross examination to the state
rnent by Lewis. After the commonwealth had
closed the defence made a motion to strike GER
tain testimony from the record. which Judge
KunkeI took under advisement.
