A Strange Story.
The Washington Patriot prints the follow'
ingi
There figured during the exciting war
times in Washington a man named Ftirdyi
who will be remembered, probably, by many
who will read this article. II was an offi
cer in a regiment or New York volunteers,
and took part in quite a number of battles.
His mother, it is stated, was a cousin of ex
Secretary Seward, and through bim be re
ceived bis education. In tbe summer of
18G3 he wss tent to Washington on an im
portant mission by tbe commander or bis
brigade. While here he gambled off bis
own money, besldts several thousand dollars
intrusted to bim by members or hi regis)
meot to be delivered to their friends. Be
coming desperate, be forged ex-Secretary
Sewatd's name (o a check for $4,000, and
received tbe money on it from a well known
and esteemed citizen ot Washington.
Thereupon be immediately left tbe city in
disguisj, and, after many narrow escapes
from arrest, reached Omaha. He spent all
the money be bad In a few months, and
went to Denver, Colorado Territory, lie
turned up In Sante Fe, New Mexico, an x
married the daughter of Manuel Zapato,
one of tbe wealthiest raneheros in New
Mexico. One of bis wife' brothers delect
ed bim in a swindling operation, and in a
difficulty between tbem be killed bis brother
in-law.
It appears tbat after living with his wife
a few montba and wandering into Nevada
be also murdered her, after first eeetinog alt
her property in bia own name, and then
made good bis escape on the Western
plalbs. He was finally arrested near Lake
Sevier, Nevada, by United States officers;
but as tbi-y were brlogiug him into camp
tbey were surprised by a party of twenty
armed men, wbo demandrd the prisoner)
and be waa delivered up. He was by tbem
taken a abort distance from tbe road, and,
after a hasty examination, sentenced to be
shot. Half an hour was given him to pre
pare tor death. He acknowledged tbat hie
object In marrying tbe woman was to possess
himself of her property, and tbat bis Inten
tion was to kill her when be learned tbat
she had exposed his operations to her father
and brothers at Ogdeo. After giving a
short account of himself, be told tbe party
to Bnlsb bim as soon as possible, It they
meant business. When ask'd if be bad any
message to send to his friends, be said tbu
be would '-send a dUpatch from hell and let
tbem know." lie wta shot and buried on
tbe spot, and thus terminated the career
of Purdy.
A correspondent or the lino Dispatch,
writing from Kane, on the P. &. E. R. U.
says:
Tbe oil well at Wilcox is down 1,800 feet,
and on Thursday afternoon they struck a
crevice irt the rock, audit beg.n to flow
and threw oil and water over the top or tbe
dorrick. It continues to do fo up to th s
time at intervals of about twenty minutes.
Mr. Adams deserves a good deal of credit
jr his perseverance in putting down tbe
well.
I understand that tbe party owning the
land has deeded- him one hundred acres
where the well is located, for his persevecv
aoce in bunting oil.
Nothing new io Kane only the excite
ment over the striking of oil. Tbe weirie
only one mile further from hore than from
Wilcox.
A terrible tale of woman's Irailty and an
injured husband's revenge comes from Ar
kansas. A woman eloped from her borne
about two weeks ago. Her husband discov
ered her Sight on returning from bis worn
in the evening, and at once took bis rifle,
mounted his horse and started in pursuit.
He rode without food and almost without
rest for nearly two days, when he overtook
tbe fugitives. Tbe betrayer of bis family
fired at him, but missed. Tbe avenger In a
moment knocked bim from bis saddle dis
daining to kill the seducer, but reserving
bim for a more terrible punishment, and
seizing birwlfe with an Iron grasp, despite
her prayera lor meroy, gave ber ber false
teeth which abe bad left behind. Hia work
ot vengeance done, tbe husband rode leis
urely away.
A vulture, it is said, can fly 15, miles S(
hour, wild geese 90 miles an hour, tbe com
mon crow 25 miles, and swallows 92 ml Irs
It la aaid that a faloon waa discovered at
Malta twenty-lour hours after tbe departure
or King Henry IV of France from Fontaine
blaau, IT true, this bird must have flown for
twenty four bours at tbe rate of fifty-seven
miles an hour, not allowing bim to rest a
moment during tbe whole lime.

The Oldest Established Dry
J'nrkcr Oil Field.
We conversed with a reliable gentleman
on Wednesday morning last, who stated that
be was at the well teing sunk near Ja til-
soo'a Mill some eight miles north-east ot
Butler on Tuesday, tbat the AO feet smd
had been penetrated some depth, anil that
the bole was filled about 200 led with
oil.
A new development Is tbe well sunk by
Cooper Eros, and Ellsba Marshall on the
farm of Hugh McClymnntis, about one mile
south 'west of Fairview. This well was
drilled to the third etind some days ago.
The drilling process still progresses. Lnrge
quantities of oil and gas are flowing from
tbe hole, and tbe sand issnld to be the very
best. The well is expected to prove one of
tbe largest in tbe region. Exeitemcnt isa
the highest pitcb. Tbe sanoT rock, we no.
derstaml, was struck at a depth or about
1350 feet. Cooper Brothers and K. Marshall,
the oripinal owners of the well and a num
ber of leases in the vicinity, a short time
before striking li e third sand sold to other
parties for a handsome sum; but the present
Indications seem to show that the purchas
ers made a good Investment. Mj. W. C.
Adams owned a furm of 70 acres adjoining
tbls well which bo sold fur $-ll,0CO, the
purchasers paying $1,000 down, agreeing;
to pay tho buUtice in a tew days or forfeit
tbn amount paid.
The well struck by Lambing Bros, on ltd
Campbe I farm, north-west of Fairview,
after commencing to pump yielded about 25
barrels of oil pr day. The well pumped In
connection with the oil a considerable
quantity of water. Efforts are being made
to shut the water off, which il successful will
no doubt improve the productiou of. oil.
