A Crooked Stick Finding Money.

LITTLE BIT OF FRAUD PRAcTIsED ON
AN UNsUsrEcTiNG CHESTER coUN.
TIAN.
A correspondent writing from Way
nesburg, Chester county, Pa, relates
the following: A man giving his name
as Robert Homels, met a man named
Allen Rogers, who resides near the
Brick Church. between Downingtown
and Waynesburg, and told him Ro-
gers) that there was money buried
near his house and he (Homels) knew
where it was. Homels carried fork
ed stick about three feet long, and said
the stick would turn up at the end as
soon as he would get within enc
hundred yards of the place where the
money was buried. He told Rogers
there were over three thousand dol
lars in gold buried near his house, and
to show him he could tell, they walked
together for some distance, when
Homels said, "now watch the stick
and if you see it turn up nearly double
you may know we are near 1t. 10
gers watched the stick for some time,
and at last it commenced to become
crooked. Homels stopped, and said
he would go no further. This was at
dusk in the evening. They walked
back about forty yards, when the stick
became straight. Rogers asked Homels
to spend the night with him, which he
accepted, and during the evening
Homels told Rogers if he would give
him $50 he would locate the money
next morning. The money was paid
him, and the next morning after
break fast they went out together. and
when near the same place where the
stick had bent the night previous, it
turned up again. He told Rogers to
dig in several places within a radius OF
ten feet, and he would find it. He
was to dig three feet deep. Homels
said he was going to Waynesburg, and
would return in the afternoon, since
which time he has not been seen. Ro-
gers believes he had thread
wire Oh the stick and up his sleeve,
which caused it to bend. He says
Homels is fraud, and he does not in.
tend to dig any more.
