It IS stated, with absolute auth ,rity. that
gentleman who died recently in Ebert has
concealed the sum Of five hundred dollars
about his house, which all efforts failed to
elicit from him prior to his death, because he
was never convinced he was approaching dis
solution. The wife and physician both resOrted
! to means to discover the place Of concealment,
but in vain. It is said that in the construction
Of the house he had secret place included in
! the construction, and no one knew Of the place
except the master mechanic and the owner.
Both are now dead, and it is likely this place
holds this money, and that it will never be dis
covered except by Eccident. To remove all
skepticism, the gentleman admitted, few
hours before his death. the possession of this
amount of money, and it has not been found
among his effects.
