Barred Treasures Pound

PROVIDENCE, Il. l., Nov. flames
M. Eddy who has been digging for
Captain KIdd's treasure and who
turned up an iron kettle full of Spanish
silver coins on the beach adjoining his
farm opposite the summer resort of
Westport, arrived at his home at john
ston yesterday with his wealth. He
denies that his grandfather ever had
anything to do with pirates or that his
father ever told him of the buried
treasure. He said that two years ago
he became the possessor of piece Of
served as drum head and
which had been converted into
chart, purporting TO describe the loca-
ton Of three lots Of buried gold, silver
and other valuables cached by pirate
many years ago. The lines were drawn
as though with a sharpened stick. On
the chart were three points designating
the burial places OF the wealth. The
starting place was a rock on horse neck
point, q wild piece of land. When this
parchment was found. Eddy was conf
dent it was a valuable document. He
determined that no one should know OF
his plans and without imparting hint
OF what he was about he began opera
tions at the place indicated. He read
lily found the rock but his labors during
the summer of 1887 were not reward

continued his labors. He proceeded
cautiously and patiently and worked
his way in the course directed, and last

clareS it will be an easy matter to find
the balance of the wealth. One or two
undiscovered treasures is stated in the
chart to be gold coin and the other dia-
mOnds or jewelry. The unearthed
treasure, Mr.. Eddy says, will stay
where it is until he gets ready TO Sc
cure it. The dates on the silver range
