 at once procured warrant for the arrest of the Book brothers. and that night returned to the Ackert lease, this time in a sleigh and accom- panied by two officers. Arriving about II o'clock I found George Book in the pumping house on duty. as he had been the night before. and at once arrested him I then proceeded to Georges house. where found his brother Henry in bed and arrested him also. After this the house, which was one-story building with an attic. was thoroughly searched. and wagon loads of loot were found. all of 1t taken from the Aeker and adjacent leases. This was afterward identified by the owners as having disappeared from time to time.
 After a preliminary hearing the Book brothers were committed to the county jail in default of ball
 
 emptyng of the oil tank and George to the writing of the anonymous let ters. There seemed no doubt of their conviction. However, about week before the trial was to have begun there was jail delivery from the county jail at Franklin, Pa. 15 or more prisoners making their escape, among them being the Book brothers. They boarded a northbound train on the A. X q. w. railroad. now known as the Erie. When at a point about 20 miles north of Franklin this train collided with another train and in the wreck Henry Book was killed instantly, while George was so badly hurt that he died the following day.
 This was the ending of the Book case. which occupied in all only six days of my time.

charged from the service. It was sub sequent to his discharge that Mr. Ack- ert had received the first of the anony- nous letters.
 In addition to the attempt to destroy property or, at any rate, to the drain ing off of MT. Ackerts tank, there had been the theft of oil we'll tools and other material on the AclSert and ad- jacent leases This corroborated the supposition that the perpetrator of these acts was familiar with that DOT tion of the oil territory. In fact every thing pointed to Henry Book as the guilty man.
 Being familiar with the manner in which oil leases were operated, I don ned the. suit of an oil driller, con sisting of overalls spattered over with sand pumrings, which gives the wear CT the general appearance of a bill- poster. Thus equipped I set forth on a cold night in February, the ther- mometer at the time standing below zero. My objective was the pumping house of well where I knew George Book would be on duty until midnight when he would retire, to be succeeded by the man who had taken the posi-, tion formerly held by his brother Henry.
 Before making my way from oil City to the Ackert property, I visited a meat market in the town where l asked for cents worth of liver.
 There's a pet cat that seems to have adopted me- l explained to the meat market owner. "She stays round my place and cries for food regularly at meal times and so I guess it's up to me to see that she gets it."
 Having planked down my nickel. I re- ceived the chunk of liver which the pro- prietor cut off, wrapped up in a piece of paper. I took it around the corner where l made further inroads into 1t with my jackknfe. A small slice l placed in the hollow of my right hand I then cut a thin piece and spread it on the back of the same hand, which I after ward tightly bandaged with a piece of white muslin. The liver soiled the tight ly-drawn bandage which gave the ap- pearance of being extremely unframed and sore. I then tied two handkerchiefs to- sether and improvised a sling, in which l could put my right hand at the right time. So equipped, I left Oil City, pass ing unrecognized through the streets by reason of my costume, and walked through the darkness and bitter cold to the pumping house on the Ackert prop erty, where I arrived a few minutes after in the evening".
 Inside the pumping house George Book was seated alone in a large. easy chair. close to the boiler, which was fired and well lighted with natural gas, and was kept warm and neat. He was reading a novel when I entered.
 The engine house was located only a few feet off the main road that ran be- tween oil City and the neighboring town of Hummer, and it was not an unusual thing for oil men, or any other men for the matter of that, to stop at the door while passing, to get drink or to warm themselves, especially on a Feb ruary night with zero temperature. Book looking up from his book, was conse- quently not in the least surprised to see

 Would you mind my standing by your boiler to get warmed?' l asked.
 Not a bit,' responded George Book. Its mighty cold outside, and I'll be glad of your company. Where do you work?" he continued, eyeing me closely. and little suspiciously at first

 Flow did you get hurt?' asked Book immediately afterward observing the handaged hand, which I had slipped into tie sling just before entering the pump ing house.

The Samoset mine was opened in 1901 and many of the miners who were em- ployed then have steadfastly remained here. This is the Big Seam," geologi- cally known as the Mary Lee Seam,' and carries a thickness of from three to seven feet. It Is strictly a steam coal. About two-thirds of the miners here employed are whites. the others ne- groes.
 General Manager H. E. Fleetwood, who is directly in charge, ably assisted by Foreman James Cantley, tells me that he is peculiarly pleased with the satisfied condition of the men who work at Samoset. Peace and perfect order prevail in the camp and there is an air of permanency in evidence.
 The, white miners, nearly all of whom are natives, have thier homes separate and apart from the negroes. and this segregation is enjoyed by both races as it prevents conflict and promotes peace. The houses are comfortably constructed. neatly kept and the home premises above the average cleanliness These houses contain from two to six rooms, are ceiled and have porches. closets, etc. They are rented to the families at the nominal price of from S2 to $7 per month. A specially de- sirable feature at Samoset is the pure drinking water afforded by deep bored wells on the hill tops and closely con- venient to the homes of the people. Some of these wells are over 100 feet deep and the water is clear, sparkling and life giving.
 The home garden is given marked attention at Samoset this season. The company liberally provides each family, free of charge. With all the necessary ground for gardening purposes, fur nishes free timber for fencing, and de- flyers free, stable manure for fertilz- ing, thus encouraging such enterprises. From small plot to acres, the home garden Is now is evidence at Samoset. A phamplet issued by the Alabama Coal Operators association has been potent factor in inducing the miners to pay attention to gardening, and valuable results are to follow. That phamplet shows what a garden will do for a home It tells the miner the following:
 ''It will reduce the cost of living"
 "lt will make you and your family more healthful and contented."
 Tt will provide beneficial exercise and entertainment for you and your family"
 Tt will divert your mind from the cares of your regular occupation"
 Tt will keep your children out of mischief and teach them thrift and in- dustry."
 'It will make your wife feel that she has sure enough home
 "It will save you money"
 "If you don't believe it, try 1t and see"
 This pamphlet states to the miner:
 If handled in a proper manner there will be something to plant ard something to gather in nearly every month in the year. When placed upon the tables these vegetables from your own garden will be more juicy, crisp and tender than those from the store. which have become old and wilted.

sling and showed him the bandage, to which the liver ,adhering, had given a Eideously stained appearance. while the ana quivering flesh.
 'Graciousl You've got an awful hand there" said George Book looking at the liver and the bandage and shuddering. You ought to have 1t attended to at once"
 I'm going to have it attended to when I reach Petroleum Center" I answered. T don't want to stop on the way, either, because of the other fellow. l shot him, but I don't know whether he is dead or not; in fact. didn't wait to see. left immediately he dropped, and have walked the entire distance, only stop ring long enough to get a cup of cof- fee at the eating house in the oil City depot

 Not very" I answered. 'I have some good friends at Petroleum Center who will feed me and look after me, and keep me under cover while the police are searching for me; and I guess they will get a doctor, too. What is worrying me most just now is that I cannot write with my left hand, and I want to write a letter. You see. my folks live at Fort Erie, Canada, which is just across the Niagara river. opposite Buffalo. I have been saving my money and sending is to my people at Fort Erie, and they have 1t all, deposited in a bank at Buffalo to my credit. I have several hundred dollars there. and if I could only write a letter tonight and mail it on the early morning train tomorrow morning, 1t would reach Fort Erie tomorrow night.

 Churches and schools separate and apart. are provided for the people at Samoset. These schools are opened nine months of the year. and are sup ported by the company and the miners. They receive no state or county aid, as they are private schools. Parents decline to force their children to walk to the Dora school, three miles away. so they unite in Sustaining their own schools. The school for the whites Is in charge of Miss Moore very capa- ble and successful teacher; and the colored school has a man teacher. This latter is a night school, and Is attended

by a number of young negro men and boys who mine coal in the daytime. Sunday schools for white and colored flourish here. and are well attended by grown-ups as we'll as children. Inter est in the exercises at these Sunday schools has supplemented craps shoot ing, and loitering,' says the general manager.
 The Samoset commissary has won reputation for low prices and fair deal ing. Manager Fleetwood staIes that it is the policy of his company to earn
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-04-05

dividends by coal mining and not by storekeeping. Consequently, the com missary carries the very best grades of goods. It's meat supply is taken from the refrigerator cars, which stop at the platform of the store.
 The improvement in welfare work at the mines of this district, the peace ful and happy relation between opera tor and miner, the liberal compensation for labor performed, gives answer to the question: why this steady and rapid development? The Samoset Coal com pany. of which Harry $. Jenkins is president. Jonathan Bryan vice presi- dent, H. b. Fleetwood general manager and Frank E. Grider. selling agent, is among the leaders of this good work.
