A MAN OF NERVE.

From all accounts that man Piersol
who Is under indictment for completely
IN the murder of baby Kcet at Spring
field, No. gave a most remarkable ex-
hibition Of nerve. He was in the
hands of mob intent upon making
him either confess his own guilt or
render some evidence that would
point out the criminal. lie steodfastly
protested his innocence and withstood
an the severe tests they could devise
without trcmor and without weaken
inr. He was twice hung until almost
that he would speak lie was even
fired upon and had his head beaten
against tree. but no device served to
extract from him anything but re-
pcated declarations OF his innocence
and ignorance of the guilty parties.
when given his choice between death
by hanging or shooting he chose the
later. The mob finally were shamed
by his coolness and bravery in the
face of what seemed certain death and
returned their prisoner to officers Of
the law. lie saved his own life by
keeping cool and collected and refus-
ing TO either beg for mercy or resent
the torments of his accuscrs.
Some Will say that this was the part
of wisdom and no Indication of his
innocence. II he confessed he would
have been hung, ana his failure to
confess seemed to promise no better
fate, but GOODNESS which could hard
~ have been assumed by guilty man
touched the hearts of some Of his cap
tors ana they refused to Kill man Of
whose guilt they had no proof An
other reason why the mob was i'm
pressed was that a really brave man.
as ne proved to be, could not have
been cowardly enough to destroy the
life OF helpless infant. The case is
still in doubt. and perhaps yet the web
of evidence may close around him.
but there can be few at this stage OF
affairs to look for such result Had
he had the consciousness OF blood
outlines on his soul, he could hardly
have had the nerve to stand all the
torture 10 which he was subjected
without giving way In fact. many
nm innocent man would. under the
same circumstances, have told his tor
mentors some kind of a story to divert
attention from himself
Mobs are bad things, as a usual cir
cumstanco for they execute vengeance
first and try the case afterward Many
an innocent man has fallen victim
to mob zeal But this mob at Spring
field was different They wanted a
confession, and when convinced they
could not get one let their victim 20

TO DEVELOP OIL LANDS

Norman King, f. r. Aker and Theo
Mohr, Lexington men, have just re-
turned from Lincoln county, where
they have secured leases on five thou
sand acres in new oil and gas terri
tory. They will at once organize an
operating company, and Mcssrs.
King and AKer will return to the field
70 superintend development work.
Several local capitalists have been
associated with them in prelimina-
ries. In addition to the leases, they
own the farm, fourteen miles from
Stanford, on which heavy flow of
gas has been struck. This we'll has
been harnessed and the gas is now
being used at the farm house. 1t is
credited with opening a thirty-years'
supply. Gas from this well will be
used for fuel in drilling operations,
which will be inaugurated as soon as
weather conditions will permit. 1t is
the opinion of experts that gas from
this field soon will be piped to Stan
ford, Lancaster and Crab Orchard,
and that it will prove a reliance for
Lexington should the supply from es-
tablished fields ever be curtailed.-

A TEDIOUS TRIP

Mr.. Hugh Noe got in Sunday
morning from huntsville, which
place he left the middle of the week.
He took passage on one of the Cum
berland river packets and had some
experience that was more lasting
than pleasant. In fact it took him
just two days and three nights to
make the trip of SO miles, which or
dinarily is made in twelve hours or
less. High water and a short supply
of coal caused the delay. AT lock No.
81 halt of many hours was made in
order that water might rise to a
point where the boat would go over
the lock, the water beng to high to
use the government device. Many
times on the route the boat would
land and the stokers and others
would go to the woods for fuel, so
short was the coal supply 1t was a
tedious trip, but Mr.. Noe and the
other passengers got lots for their
money. The fare is SO for the trip,
which includes berth and meals
seven meals and three lodgings and
the trip thrown in for SO is going
some for this day of high cost of liv-
ing. 1t was about the cheapest exper-
fence the clever hustling travelling
representative for the international
Harvester Co. has had in long time,
but he says he hopes it will be many
a day before he has repetition of
such.

MUCH OIL LAND LEASED

Monroe thompson, real estate
man of the Waynesburg section, who
was here Monday told the I. j. that
about 10000 acres of land in the
Southern end of Lincoln had been
leased for oil and gas purposes and
that he had taken many of the leas-
es for eastern companies. He has also
leased some 10000 acres in Casey.
He pays 81 per lease and is to give
one-eighth of the oil and gas and gas
for domestic purposes to the owner
of the land. In the event no well is
drilled within twelve months a pen
atty of % cents per acre is to be
paid the land owner. Rockefeller has
had representative in the Wayness
burg section, but is is understood
that he has made no leases yet. Mr..
Thompson is confident that oil and
gas exist in paying quantities. There
are two gas wells on Albert Schuler's
place, either one of which it is be-
lieved will supply Stanford with all
the gas she needs, were it piped
here. 81 =
