HIDDEN PLUMBER NEAR ANrIETAM BATTLE
fdELD.-Eor some weeks past rumor has been
afioat in this community that federal quarter
master during the war had buried some $50, 900
in gold and greenbacks under the large white
oak tree about mile from town, on the left of
the road leading to Dufflelds, and that few
nights ago he came for his treasure and took il
away. It'll said that the quartermaster wa,
compelled to bury the money in order to keen
the reb4ls from capturing the treasure, who
were holly pursuing him at the time. 1t is ev-
ident that somebody was digging something,
as we saw the trench which was dug ourself.@
A part of wooden box was also lying in the
trench, which it is supposed contained the
money. Mr.. Wesley Myers, who resides near
the spot, states that the digging was done af-
ter night and that the tracks of a vehicle could
b, seen the next morning. The trench is formed
ina semi-circle around the roots of the tree, and
