AN ILLINOIS FARMER PLOWs

AN ILLINOIS FARMER PLoWs UP
A PoT FULL OF GOLD CoIN-JACK-
soNvILL I'LL June l4.--While farm
er by the name of Sawyer was out
blowing on his farm In Scott county a
day or two ago his pillow struck against
something hard and metallic, deep in
the ground. He unearthed it and
was rewarded byfuding pot containing
$4,000 in gold. The gold pieces were
eagles and half eagles, black from age
and of coinage of 1905. By whom
it was buried is a mystery, but it is
thought that some Government official
in early days hid the treasure for safe
keeping and either died or never was
able to find it again. Sawyer is more
than jubilant over his stroke of good
fortune.

SUDDEN. DEkTH OF A DANTE
SALT LAKE, U. T., June 9.-The NO.
torious Porter Rockwell died here in a
stable this evening at 6 o'clock. He
was under indictment for the murder
of the Akin party of emigrants in
1857, and was to be tried at the Sep
tember term Of the First District Court
District Attorney Vanzile had pretty
sure case worked up against him, ::and
thinks he would have secured his con-
viction, in which case Rockwell had
promised his attorneys to make a cou-
fession of all his crimes and give the
names of those who were guilty with
him. He was usually we'll yesterday,
and attended the theater in the even
ing. He was driving some distance
from the city to day and on his return
to the stable, got out Of his buggy and
died almost instantly. 1t is thought,
in view of the facts in the case, that
he was foully dealt with by some Of
his fellow Danltes. A postmortem ex-
animation will be held tr,morrow morn
ing. He was about 80 years of age.

ii. b. 451 waN repeated tifty-four times In
the list, Mr.. Atkius's bin, Fl, B, 1,049,
forty-nine times, and other bills from four
to twenty-nine times. This simple process
reminds one of the method employed in
measuring the famous Guyastieutis of the
south African islands that terrible animal
which was nine feet in length from the
root OF his nose to the tip of his tail, and
nine feet back again, being 10 all eighteen
feet, or twrice the height of the tallest
man! Indeed Mr.. Hanna took H. B. ]. .049,
which he divided into forty nine claims,
and then when the bill was reported back
EhyaMr Cad well put it into the list again
as a new raid upon the Treasury. Of Mr..
HanDa's fearful list of claims only $2,673,-
Connecticut. New Jersey, Tennessee, Mary
land, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, lii
nois, ludiana-these names bristle in the
| list OF rebel States Ten sot the rebel
claims" were for loyal churches, seven of
which were in loyal States; most Of them
were the claims Of loyal Republicans; not
few were put in by Union soldiers aud
their families. One of the rabid rebels of
| Kentucky whose raid on the Treasury Mr.
Hanna so bravely withstands lost her hus
band and two SONS in the Union army.
Another southern claim Is that of A. L.
H. Crenshaw, of Missouri. lie was a
licensed cattle dealer and an unconditional
Unian man, and fifty.fve mules were
stolen from him by "a conspiracy organic
ized'' by certain Kansas volunteers. The
| language is that of the report on the claim
submitted by Mr.. Cobb, Rep.) The Gov
ernment subsequently took possession Ct
the animals and became responsible for
them; Mr.. Cobb reported the claim favor
ably tothe Republican Forty-third Con-
gress, and Mr.. Eden, Dem, to its Demo
cratic successor. At present it is
doing service as rebel claim.
A rebel in Michigan who wants
$62, 4S0 for a steamboat furnishes another
litem. Mr.. Carlise's Fl. B. 1000, for the
relief of Union men in Kentucky, furnish,
es matter for twenty-nine rebel claims
Eugene Leitensdoerfer, of Missouri, chills
the blood with a rebel claims for $100,0O(
for service rendered to Doniphan IN the
Santa Fe expadition thirteen years before
Sumter was fired on. MIR. Dibrell' ffty-foul
rebel claims are of the secesession epoch
but the claimants wore the blue. One oi
these malignant rebels is now eighty years
old; old as he was in 1861 he was not too
old to serve as captain in the Union army
and to pilot on foot more than five hun
dred Union refugees from Tennessee owe,
the mountains into Kentucky, there II
enlist under the Stars and Stripes Verify
he has his reward: he is denouDee,
throughout the land as traitor and q re
