70 the 1ury. The latter retired, and. as
they did not return up to late hour last

After several ballots and much discus

the Judge.
A dead silence prevailed.

Judge Blodgett repeated this question,
when one Of the counsel for the defense
arose and stated that he was of the opin-

night and told him that he was going to
be convicted, and that he was going
to run away. Counsel demonstrated

declared their bonds forfeited. Bail
was given for each of them In the sum OF
$4,000.

Hunting the Ola MAN, MONEY

Mr.. Aowery, the administrator OF the
estate Of the late DIR. Augustine. of Ha-
zlewood in this county. is having consld
cradle trouble in getting together the old
doctors wealth. Long before the old
mans death it was known that he had
amassed snug little fortune, the great
bulk OF 1t being In hard money-gold and
silver. He was strange man, and had
little faith in banks. believing that he
could take better care OF his money than
to deposit it in bank. While
he would not allow his money
to 60 out OF his hands,
he was in constant fear of thieves and
burglars, and to guard against the posi-
bility OF being robbed, resorted to bury
ing his money. Some two or three
months ago the old man sickened and
died, but before his death never intimated
where the money would be found. Alter
he was laid away, the work of searching
iOr Tie money begun ana In the course Of .
few weeks about 81 800 was found-some
of it in one place and some in An
other about the barn. The greater por-
ton of this amount was In greenbacks /;
but the gold and silver was still missing
The search has keen kept up ever since
and every few days small sums aie being
unearthed. A few days ago In digging
about the roots Of an old tree standing
near the house q small tin can was dug
up and found to contain about one hun
bred dollars In silver. This can had evil
IDENTITY been buried for many years as
the roots OF the tree had grown under
and over and all around 1t. A day or
two after the can was dug up,
a little dog belonging to the
widow. was digging after mole
in the garden, but instead of catching the
mole dug up shot bag containing one
hundred dollars In gold. 1t 10 believed
by those who were best acquainted with
the old man In his life time, that he had
somewhere between FIVE and eight thou.
sand dollars in gold and silver, and 20 far
not to exceed one thousand OF 1t has been
found. The search. however, 10 kept up,
and 1t IL expected that sooner or later
the searchers will strike q rich mine,
