Rceived Bad Cut.

fortune to ahve the axe which he
was using strike him in the forehead
with the corner of the blade inflict
ing a wound one and three-quarters
of an inch in length which bled
very profusely, in' fact so copiously
as to blind him for the time as the
blood ran into his eyes, filling them.
Dr. J. B. Brendel dressed the wound
and it is healing nicely. However,
it was a very close call for his life
as the blade of the axe cut through
the hat band and all, and to the
bone and only for the spent force
it would have entrred the skull as
well. He is getting along nicely
now.

Search Begun
for Treasure
Minnesota Youths Dig Into Hillside
in Effort to Recover Casks of
Beer Buried Years Ago
Henderson, Minn.. May 14. Arm
ed with a map resembling aptain
Kidd's best charting effort, four
young men today started tunneling
into a hilside here in search of
"treasure." Forty barrels of beer
stored in two oaken casks, which
sixty years ago was thought forever
undrinkable with the collapse of the
roof of the tunnel leading to the
main cellar of a large brewery here
is the prize in the hunt.
Permission was given last night
by the owner of the property to pro
jceed with the digging. The owner.
Charles Xey, last summer razed the
brewery, a landmark.
Obi employes of the brewery have
figured out the approximate location
of the cached brew. Working under
their direction the youths have as
sembled a rii'Ie chart showing that
by digging directly downward for
thirty feet they will enter the tunnel
leading to the two casks. They can
then break the oak containers and
hoist out the beer.
They face one hazard, however,

m.ar.t the wells of water, and as an
other drouth came he was of a mind
of rcing to Egvpt, but as he was
nearing that place, he was urged by
the Great Jehovah to stop where he
was, which was at Gerer, where his
father Abraham bad formerly lived
and had dug wells for his stock, but
which had become stopped with
stones. This Isaac had his men clean
out. and the wells were again good
ones. The governor, who was prob
ably a petty king, Alinelech. strove
with Isaac and his men fcr the wells
and ret wishing to contend. Isaac
moved out and up a valley by the
same name, notwithstanding, like the
practice at this time that to find a
hen tree is tc possess it, that he who
dugs wells and made them so they
would water the people and the cat
tle were entitled to the wells as well
as the country surrounding them.
Isaac accordingly moved up the
valley and dug a well which he
named Esek. meaning that the phil
listines had striven with them for
their well. When the Phillistines
contended for this well, Isaac moved
on and dug another well, and called
its name Sitnah. because they strove
for that as well. Then again Isaac
moved on. this time getting pretty
well south, and there dug another
well at a further point and called its
name Rohoboth, for, said he, "Je
hovah has made room for us and we
shall be fruitful."
Isaac was a husbandman or farm
er as well as a cattleman, and when
he nlanted he raised a crop of one
hundred fold
That is when he sowed j
one bushel of barley he reaped one
hundred and this was prospering1.
So, like his father Abraham, he be
came rich.
After this Isaac moved to Beer
Sheha, where he had originally lived,)
and where his father had lived, and;
when he had made this move.

cleaned out and redug the wells, of
which there wer? seven in number, j
He also erected an altar on which
he worshiped the one true God, and (
there he lived in the land of his fath
er an:l prospered. There was much
difference in the wells which were
'dug during his wanterings, but the
most of them were living water. t
There were cisterns which were
filled during a wet spell and had to
supply the people when the summer
was dry. Then there were the wells
which he called the living wells and
which were dug lil;e those of our.
time and produced water from an
underground vein or stream. These
could nearly always be depended on
to furnish water at all times. j
At that time, a well was the cause
for a village springing up, and the
women came with their water pots
and jars and there conversed and
visited, and this was a great place.
Here the men also came with their
stock to water them and to drink
themselves, but the women supplied
the water for the household, which
they carried in pots on their heads.
It will be remembered that Christ
when on a journey thru Samaris wi'h
his disciples, stopped at Jacob's well,
and there he met the Woman of
Samaris. and there conversed with
ber and told her that if she had but
asked of him, he would have given
I her water which would h ave been a
,well springing up into eternal life.
This well was dug by the son of
Isaac, Jacob, who later became Israel,
and who was father of the twelve
sons who became the he.ds of the

Importer Who Victimized Old Soldiers
Taken relive Arrest Will Put
End to Swindle.
Washington. Mi.y S. The long arm
cf V.e rovcrn:i,c nt has reached out
and nabbed Stephen A. Pruitt of In
dir:n:ip:'i: Ind., who is sid to be
the h'-ad of a gang of Impostors who
have been defrauding veterans on the
penrion roils of the government. A""
fci'. ril grand jury at Cincinnati in
dicted him, much to the r' lief of ofh-
jcials of the pension bureau here
For many months complaints have
been received from several middle
western states that old soldiers have
been the victim of agents thru a
scheme of selling them eye glasses
worth from 5 to 10 cents for sums
ranging from S17 to $22. Investiga
tions conducted by government in
spectors resulted in the discovery that
these impostors traveled by auto
mobile and when ever they were trail
ed immediately took flight.
Mad Confederates.
The arrest of Pruitt was brought
nbout when he was found operating
in Brown county, Ohio, last Feburary.
Inquiry in the neighborhood by in
spectors developed information that
the alleged impostor wa. traveling in
a car with an Indiana license, the
number of which had been recorded
by an interested bystander. Develop
ments then were rapid.
It is known that Pruitt has one or
more confederates, yet it is believed
by pension bureau officials that his
apprehension will for a time at least
put an end to the gross imposition
which have marked the contact of
this man with aged veteran pension
ers. As an additional precaution, how
ever, officials are mailing with pen
sion chukK -a circular, warning all
pensioners against such alleged repre
sentatives of the bureau, informing
them that no inspector or other agent
of the bureau has anything to sell in
that connection, or authority to prom
ise favorable action in pending claims
for pensions.

yet been definitely determined by
government officials. The latter work
ed the same kind of a game.
Pruitt, according to advices from
Cincinnati, entered a plea ot guilty
and was sentenced to 90 days in jail
and to pay a fine of $500. The court
announced he should remain in Jail
until the fine was paid and the full
amounts refunded to the veterans
from whom he collected.
