Questions and Answers.
A rented a farm from it for three
years from March, 1S94. The contract
says that if U should die A must give
up the farm at the expiration of that
year. B dies in July, 1S95, but A sow
ed !10 acres of wheat, using fertilizer,
without orders. In November the farm
was sold to C and A has to give one
third of the grain to C. Must C pay
jor one third of the fertilizer? A. S.
It is a matter that would depend en
tirely on the terms of the settlement
with C. From your statement I do not
see that A is entitled to any of the
grain, as he knew and agreed that his
time would expire March 1.
Gypsies have been in the habit of
camping on my land fo.- years past
They carry oft chickens, vegetables
and horse feed, but I have never been
able to catch them. Is there any way
that I can keep them away? A. E. B.
The law provides that tinless they
have the consent of the owner of the
land and camp for a longer period than
over night thev shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and shall on convic
tion be fined not more than $10 or im
prisonment in the County Jail not ex
ceeding SO days or both.
In what States can a divorce bo grant
ed to a person who is a resident of Ohio,
if he will go there and reside for 00
days? The grounds for the divorce are
abandonment. L. M. B.
JNorth Dakota and Oklahoma Terri
tory, but it is not advisable to go to
either place.
In a will in the State of Ohio occurs
this: "One fifth of two thirds of ray es
tate I will to my living children."
Does this include grandchildren whose
parents arc deceased? W. A, M.
Yes, if their parents were alive when
the will was made.
B agreed to cultivate A's land. lie
was to furnish the seed and give half
of the crop to A. He put in the crop
but before he harvested it, he abandon
ed it and left the country. Can people
to whom he was in debt take his share
of the crop? A harvested the crop.
B. C. P.
In accordance with a decision of the
Supreme Court, no; the entire crop will
go to A.
A owes B $100 for which B holds A's
note. The note comes due and B brings
6uit on it. A tries to take the advan
tage of B by transfering his property
after the action is brought but before
judgment is rendered. Will this sale
stacd good? J. S. C.
If you can show that the transferof
the property was made for the purpose
of preventing creditors of the seller
irom collecting their claims the sale is
void, even though the buyer paid a full
ahd" valuable consideration for the
property, took and retained possession
fit Ik
fA-irents a piece of land from B for so
much per acre, cash rent The lease is
not "renewed. Is A entitled to the
straw and fodder that is raised on the
place, as well as the hay and grain?
T. M. F.
Yo.s. fle is entitled to everything
he raises,,
Arand B bulla a partition fenco be
tween their lands. B made a barbed
wire fence along his part of the line
without the consent of A. The posts
for said fence wqre set before the Jaw
in regard to barbed wire fences was
passed, the wire "being put on later.
Was it unlawful for him to build such
a fence? W. I.
It was. Section 4289a, It S. O.: "No
person or corporation shall construct
or cause to be constructed, in whole or
in part, any partition fence of barbed
wire, Ac, &e " The fine is not more
than $100 nor less than $10.
.A, is employed by the firm of A, B &
Co., a partnership, as a confidential
man and general manager, lie re
ceives so much salary and a certain
per cent of the earnings of the firm.
(The firm fails. Is A liable for the debts
of the firm? J. C, O.
To allow a clerk a portion of the pro
fits as a compensation for labor does
not render him a partner, provided it
is adopted to increase exertion in the
huslness.

The British Consul at Mannheim,
Germany, in a recent report says: "The
consumption of petroleum was fully
up to the averatre, Russian oil gaining
a considerable impulse by the rise in
American. Mannheim is the central
market for South Germany, and ship
ments to Strassburg and above pro
ceeded with regularity up to July, but
were then stopped by the falling of the
river.
The organization of an oil well work
ers' union is in progress in the Indiana
field and one thousand laborers in that
industry are said to be promptly taking
up with the idea. The union is bene
volent in its purposes, its object being
to provide work for idle members and
care for those in want. It is opposed
to strikes and hopes to further the in
terests which laborers and operators
have in common.
The Lima branch of the Western Oil
Men's Association was organised on
the 13th by the election of J. K. Kerr
as vice-president. Mr. Kerr is one of

in the Lima field. G. M. Sprague of
the Manhattan Oil sompany was elect
ed secretary and treasurer. The branch

Meade Coghlin, a Toledo, O. brewer,
was some time ago induced to buy a
half interest in an oil tract, paying
therefore something like 812,000.
Shortly afterward they were offered
$50,000 for the property, which was
proving a good producer. Coghlin re
fused to sell and his nartner insisting
the offer should bo accepted, Meade

the offer, $23,000, thus paying $37,000
about two weeks ago. He has since

deposit in the north of Peru, having
been burnt at the last named place
the railway companies and other pro
prietors of works in this district who
had been using this class of fuel when
procurable have been compelled to
burn coal, as formerly."
An electrical storm passed over Brad
ford and the surrounding towns Mon
day night causing considerable damage
in the vicinity of Simpson and Davis
City. At the former place two rigs
and four tanks containing about S00
barrels of oil were destroyed by fire.
At Davis City, a rig and one tank of
100 barrels of oil were burned. The
property belonged to the South Penn
Oil company. Tuesday three rigs at
Dayis City were struck by lightning,
but prompt action on the part of the
men who were in the vicinity saved
the property frotn "being destroyed.
Some new work is being done, in the
shallow territory of the Big Kate dis
trict, Ohio. The pool was opened up
by the striking of the Big Kate well
on the Reed farm in the early spring
of 1894. The well had an initial pro
duction of 500 barrels and made a good
record for thirty days. Last summer
the well had declined to 8 or 10 barrels
a day, when it was shot and unfortu
nately spoiled, and all that remains to
mark the spot of the famous spouter is
the old conductor. This well led to
the discovery of the Sand Hill and
Waverly pools. The new developments
here at present are located south and
west from the Big Kate on Big run.

Of tne, many experuicntal wells re
ported completed within the past two
or three weeks, not one has proved a
paying venture. The last to swell the
dry hole list is S. II. Bradley andOlean
parties, who havo just completed a
venture of this kind in AloxnnderTp.,
Athens county, located on the Henry
farm. The well was drilled through

The Federal pool, located in the
southern part of Morgan county, three

are 35 nroducing wells, making a pro
duction of 100 barrels a day, from the
first Cow Run sand The average depth
of these wells is about 100 feet, making
operating here very cheap.
