BURIED GOLD.
Hidden Wealth on the Banks of
the White Lick.

Hidden Wealth on the Banks of
the White Lick.
Indianapolis News.
There is clinging to some of the early
settlers of Hendricks and Morgan coun-
ties an impression that, buried under a
huge stone somewhere in the fertile
valley of White Lick creek, there are
valuable treasures. The impression is
sort of vague one, bearing the impress
of tradition, yet many farmers in the
Two counties did formerly really believe
that there was hidden treasure along
the winding creek, and not a few of
them have wasted time in looking for
the pots of gold and silver
The story of the treasure, as it is told
around the country firesdes, is that.
when the Delaware Indians were forced
to vacate their hunting grounds along
the creek they had accumulated con-
siderable wealth by trading with the
trontiersmen. The savageS believed
they were to be sent from their lands
temporarily, and rather than risk carry
ing their wealth into strange country
they concluded to bury it under huge
rock until such time as they returned
to their favOrite hunting grounds.
The rock under which the pot of gold
was buried, so the story runs, was
marked with turkeys foot carved in
the stone projecting above the earth.
The story, it seems, came from the
Indians themselves. Early settlers
along the stream say that several years
after the tribe had vacated the
lands a lone Indian came through
the country in search of treasure
which he said had been buried under a
stone. He told of how the tribe had de-
cided to leave the money behind, and
said he could tell the stone because it
was marked with the imprint Of tur-
keys foot. The Indian disappeared as
mysteriously as he came, but he left
behind him that tradition that remains
with some people to this day.
Following the disappearance Of the
Indians, the settlers began search for
the treasure. An obstacle was met
Immediately, for it was found that there
were plenty of huge stones marked
with turkey tracks," it seemingly
having been favorite pastime of the
red men to carve out the imprint of tur-
keys feet upon all the great stones
along the stream. Notwithstanding
this obstacle many farmers eXcavated
beneath huge stones, and were disap-
pointed at not being rewarded for their
labor.
1t is doubtful if there Is great stone
within three miles of the creek that has
not been burrowed under in search of
the treasure. As late as ten years ago
the story of the treasure was revived all
along the stream, and rocks that had
never been disturbed we're burrOwed
under: A great many farmers always
hooted at the unreasonable story, and
refused to permit stones upon their
lands to be removed. So impressed were
some men with the story. that they have
been known to form in little groups at
night and to work for hours under cover
of darkness, unearthing stones upon
the lands of men who took no stock in
the story. Many are the stones that
have been unearthed after night in
search of the wealth, but no one in the
valley ever showed any outward evil
dences of having suddenly found the
pot of gold.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-W. l.. Ryer-
son, Brewster Cameron, w. I'll. II.
Lleweliyn and George Christ, for many
years past residents of Arizona and New
Mexico, have written letter to Senator
Dawes, chairman of the committee on
Indian affairs, strenuously protesting
against the removal of the Apache In
dians, now prisoners at Mount Vernon
barracks, Alabama, to Fort Sill, Indian
territory, as recommended by the presi-
dent. The letter quotes the following
from the report of Gen. Crook, dated
Jan. 6 last.
ut would not be wise, in my opinion, to-
send them back to their own country
Trouble might perhaps ensue if this were
done and, did they again take the warpath
III that country. 1t would be utterly impossi
BILE ever to get them to surrender again and
to exterminate them i'll war would cost
thousands of lives, to say nothing of the loss
OF property which such war would entail"
Fort Sill, the protestants represent,
is less than 500 miles from the old home
OF the murderouS Apaches, and as the
intervening country is Sparsely in
habited and devoted to cattle raising,
the Indians might by forced riding and
horse-Stealing regain their old haunts

cause to feel that the government is
about to do that which will again place
these Indians in a position where they
will be standing threat and menace to
the lives and property of the people of
Arizona and New Mexico, and to the
lasting peace which the removal of
those Indians assured to their terri
tories. 1t is suggested that the COM
mittee examine Col. LaWton, now
stationed here, who was for many
years among the Indians, and one of
Gen. Miles most trusted officers when
the latter brought to successful con-
clusiOn the most terrible Indian war
that ever devastated the Southeastern
frontier. 1t is desired that these In
dians shall never again have an oppor-
tunity to repeat their inhuman crimes.
When it is borne in mind, say the writ
ers. that heretofore ChattO and his al
legged good companions have committed
the most brutal murders, any one of
which would have consigned white
man to death and infamy, we have
right to maintain that we have but little

your committee not to again expose the
lives and persons of our wives and chill
dren to Outrages which are appalling to

The Gentlemen's Association Will
Go to Pieces Next Week.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Chairmen Walker,
Faithorn, Midgely and Finley, to whom
has been assigned the task of formula
ting new agreement for the Inter-
State Commerce Railway association,
have decided that they cannot report
the new agreement to the presidents at
Z the meeting to be held Feb. II.
As a consequence both the Uuion Pa
cific and Northwestern will formally
withdrawn on that day, and probably
enough of the other roads will follow
suit so that the association will exist
only in name until the new agreement
is ready for consideration. 1t is prac-
tically certain that the Wisconsin Cen
trail and st. Louis & San Francisco will
give notice Of withdrawal Oh or before
Feb. IL. There is no longer any hope
OF continuance of the present organi-
cation and it is probable that the
name even will be changed in
the proposed plan of reorganization.
Every Western line, irrespective of
the present membership, will be asked
to join the new associations; but the
four chairman freely confess that
they have as yet been unable to think of
any agreement upon which all the lines
will unite. The whole thing is openly
ridiculed by many railroad men, owing
to the fact that there has never been a
railroad agreement in which all lines
kept faith,

There being but limited possibility for
further competition in the reduction of
hrst-class and second-class passenger
rates from st. Paul to Chicago, the war
will take different phase and become,
as well as rate competition, question
of the shortest time. The agreement
entered into by all the roads not to
shorten fourteen hours as the time from
st. Paul to Chicago has been a
dead letter for some months
past, and each road has been making
and advertising its own time. The an
n0uncement is now made by the Mil
waukee and the Burlington roads that
on and after Sunday, Feb. 9, the time to
Chicago will be reduced by those routes
from fourteen TO thirteen and a half
hours: There seems every probability
that this will lead to a general time
competition and reduction, The Omaha
road will, it is said, also reduce the
time to Chicago on the 9th, though to
what extent has not yet been deter
mined by the operating department..

asked for an injunction toprevent Houtz
from allowing his cattle TO trespass

ton would be to prevent HoutZ and
Others from using $4,000 acres of pub

property. anu give the latter monoD-
oily of this much of the public domain.
The court says that it is the common
law of highly cultivated countries that
graZlerS must keep their animals off un-
inclosed lands belonging to others, but
that such a doctrine would be greatly
injurious to the sparsely settled frontier
region. Custom and the consent of all
the departments of the government for
nearly hundred years have
GIVEN AN IMPLIED LICENSE
to the people to Craze upon open and
unincloSed public lands, and that it has
always been held in frontier regions
that man was not liable for trespass if
his cattle strayed from the public lands
to uniDclosed private lands. The states
in their early days having generally re-
quired property owners to erect fences
when they do not wish their land tres
passed upon, and as this is the law of
Utah; the court denies the application
for an injunction.

POLYGAMY IS A CRIME.

mon Test oath Sustained
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The supreme
court of the United States to-day rem
dered an opinion affirming the consti-
tutionality of the Edmunds-Tucker
Idaho test oath, intended to prevent
MormOns from voting. The case came
up on an application for writ of habeas
corpus, made by Samuel d. Davis. VINO
is in jail in Idaho, having been SEN
fenced for unlawfuIly taking the pre-
scribed test oath when he was Inem-
Der of the Mormon church. The court
denies the application for a writ of
habeas corpus, holding that polygamy
is crime, and that the constitutional
provision guaranteeing freedom of re-
ligion is not intended to prevent punish
ment of any person who. in the name
Of religion, commits a crime in the eyes
of the law.
The court, III its opinion, says: Big
amy and p"'vgamy are crimes by the
laws of the United States and of Idaho.
They tend to destroy the purity of the
marriage relations, to disturb the peace
of families, to degrade woman and to
debase man. Few crimes are more per-
niciouS to the best interests of society
and receive more general or more de-
served punishment. To call their adj
vocacy tenet of religion is to offend
the common sense of mankind. To ex-
tend exemption from punishment for
such crimes would be to
SHOCK THE MORAL JUDGMENT
Of the community. 1t is assumed by
counsel of the petitioner that because
no mode of worship can be established
by law, or religious tenents enforc I'd in
this country, therefore any form of
worship may be followed, and any ten
cts, however destructive of society,

When citizen sees naval officer on
the street with his uniform on it is an
easy matter to tell the rank of that Off
Ger, as he is decorated with the device
that the government has adopted for his
station. The following facts, furnished
by Commander Newman, who is To-
Gated at the navy yard, will give
the reader interesting information
on this point. The admiral of
the navy is decorated with four
stars, the vice admiral, three stars; rear
admiral. two stars; commodore, one
star; captain, an eagle, the same as
colonel in the army; commander, sill
yer leaf; lieutenant. two bars; junior
lieutenant, one bar; ensign, plain
shoulder straps; mates, double spy
glass; carpenter, a square: sailmaker,
a diamond; boatswain, an anchor; gun
ner, a flaming bomb. An officer must
never wear his uniform off duty. If he
attends the funeral of some dead COM
rade, or a reception rendered the navy,
he can appear in his ornamental clothes.

The most popular types of embroidery
now employed in the decoration of
dresses are the Empire and Renais-

floral designs. but differ in that the
former is limited to certain leaves and
small flowers arranged in straight
rows. while in the latter the blossoms
and foliage are very much conven-
and arabesaues. This species of decor
alton is known as broderie de style, and
distinguishes the dressmaker's erea-
