Saturday it looked as though Streeter
would surely be elected by Republicans
and Farmers Mutual Benefit Association

whipped the five anti-Streeter Republicans
into line. Senator Evans, the leader Of
these directors, however, had . conference
Saturday with the leader Of the Farmers
Mutual Benefit Association men, telling
him that he (Evans) would have to vote
for Streeter if the farmers did not pump
him off. He added that Streeter had
promised all sorts Of things to the Repub-
icans if elected.
This angered the farmers, and Cockrell
and Moore say they will throw Streeter

holds ont for him, but it appears probable
now that the scheme of.the anti-Streeter
Republicans will prevail, and if it does,
Palmer will be elected.

SPANISH TREASURE BURIED.

Gvlyanin Bank.

WrLKEsHARRx, Pa. March S.-The First
National bank of Pittston has received .
letter from Spain, signed by priest, stat
ing that q vast sum of money is buried
somewhere in this vicinity. The letter
says that one OF the most favored of
the courtiers of the late King Alphonso was
given large sum Of money, said TO be
million francs, while the king was on his
deathbed, in return for the performance of
dying wish. The queen was jealous OF
the courtier. and at the kings death in
structed her ambassador to arrest the
courtier tor stealing casket containing
jewels from the palace. lie He'd to America
and buried the treasure, but returned TO
Spain and was arrested and put In
prison, where he died. The plans of the
place where the treasure was buried were
in q satchel which was taken by the tri-
bunal, which, not knowing the contents, Of
fercd to dismiss the suit on the paying
of the costs. The priest asks for money TO
pay the costs and obtain the satchel and
plans.
san FRAScrsco, March Especial. +
The story of the letter from Spanish
priest, telling of treasure belonging to the
late King Alfonso, which was buried in
Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, bears q re-
markable resemblance TO q letter received
nearly two years ago by San Francisco
man. The letter was dated Logunts, near
Valencia, Spain, April 4, 1889, and was
signed NJ. Del Rio. 1t told Of a prisoner
named Frederique Val, who had buried
treasure in the United States. The letter
was very vague, and great secrecy was en-
Joined. The gentleman answered the letter
and in return received another letter, this
time signed by Frederique Val. 1t stated
he was one OF King Alfonso's couriers and
had been entrusted by him with treasure,
consisting of money and jewels, which was
buried in this country. He had been in-
prisoned and was without money or friends.
If the gentleman would kindly forward
him little over s, 090 francs, to pay court
expenses, he would send him papers so that
the treasure could be found. The gentle
man was to receive one-shird as his share.
Val also said that the papers were in pos
session of the Spanish Authorities. who did
not know their value, and that they could
be easily obtained. The gentleman took
no further notice Of the matter, as he
thought it was a swindle.

A RICH RANCHES CoNFEssEs.
He Was One Of the Gang who Robbed
the Rio Grande Train.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, March 9.-The whole
particulars of the plot which resulted in
the robbery of the train on the Rio Grande,
January 20, and the loss of $4,000, have
come to light. The instigator, Juan
Benits, rich rancher and merchant at
the Elsauz ranch, is in Jail here. He has
confessed. Chief of Police Rand arrested
the ranch blacksmith and the carpenter
who made the crowsfoot, which they used
to ditch the train, and through their con-
fession secured Benits and several other
members of the gang. The leader of the
party is a well-known smuggler named
Simon CARGO. The night after the rob-
berry he stole three horses and left for
Mexico. He is being pursued by Mexican
cavalry. A portion of the stolen money is
recovered and all the robbers probably will
be captured. They are all ranchers living
in this county. One of the gang got $4,-
GOO while the rest only got 81 800 each.
There was disagreement. and one of the
bandits named Angel Cortinez was shot
and killed by the leader.

A San Francisco Flock Follows Its
Leader on the End Of . Wharf
SAN Francisco, March Especial. j
The tendency of sheep to follow their
leader was amusingly illustrated at the
Third street wharf today. A flock of
about 200 lambs was being driven toward
Butchertown, to be slaughtered, when a
four-horse team turned the flock from the
right course, and the badly frightened
lambs ran down the street in the direction
of Third street wharf, followed by the
shepherds dogs, whose barking only
served to increase their terror. The wharf
gate was open at the time, and the fore
most lamb leaped upon string6r of the
wharf, and, galloping clear to the end,
jumped into the water. The long string of
lambs did exactly the same thing, and the
air seemed to be full of them, turning
somersaults, revolving in the air, and
sprawling in all shapes before they struck
the water. Every boat in the vicinity was
called into use, and after much difficulty
the animals were gathered up without the
loss of one, and proceeded on their
tourney.

DEATH OF MRS. HONORA CHURCH.
Claimant Of Piece OF Valuable Land
In Tacoma.

CIofmoue OF P1eco OF Valuable Aouu
In TacOm1.
TACOMA, March Especial. 1.-The death
of Mrs. Honora ]. Church of grippe at
Castorville, Col, recalls the efforts made
by her to obtain possession of half acre
of residence property in the North End in
the city. Mrs. church was one of the
pioneers of this city, having purchased the
land in question in 1870. Her first hus-
bands name was Carpenter. She removed
to Castorville, and there in 1890 sold the
half acre to Frank E. Gray for 500. Later
she was told that the property was worth
$50, 000-its actual value being about $l2,-
O00-and at once came to this city and in
stituted legal proceedings to recover the
property on the ground of deception and
fraud used by Gray. A demurrer, which
has never been argued. was entered to the
complaint, and Mrs. Church's means be-
ing exhausted she returned to Castorville,
discouraged. Mr.. Church, who is in deli
cate health, and three daughters, aged IL,
IA and Is years, survive her.
In her complaint Mrs. Church alleged
that Gray, who is known in this city, said
the property was worthless, and that by
accepting 500 it would be the same as
finding SO much money. A tax title to
the property has been obtained by Miss
Adelaine Cromwell. Owing to the death
of Mrs. Church the settlement of the suit
proposed after her departure will probably
not be effected by the heirs.

THE UNION PACIFIC EXTENSION.


Chief Engineer Bogue Obtaining Re-
newals Of Subscriptions.
CHEHALIs, March Especial. Chief
Engineer v. G. Bogue, of the Union
Pacific, arrived here this afternoon to con-
suit with a citizens committee of ten
members regarding the renewal of sub
scriptions Of the people of this city. Sub
scriptions amounting in value to 81, 600
had been raised for the purchase of right
of-way through the city. Bogue made
statement on behalf Of the Portland q
Puget Sound road only. He did not speak
for any other interests. The Great North
ern was reported to be working in con-
junction with the Union Pacific on Port
land and Puget sound extension, but he
did not know anything OF this. He would
not say that the Great Northern would
run cars over the line when completed.
The Union Pacific, he stated, would soon
be in good shape to push the work. He
did not want the subscription conditions
to fix the time when work should COM
mence, but would prefer to have it fix the
time when the road should be completed
to the Chehalis depot not later than
December 81, 1892. The company might
begin construction in Nav or some later
date. That would not affect completion
by December, 1892. He thought other
towns would not hesitate to grant an ex-
tension of the subsidy. He had assurances
from Tacoma and other places that such
would probably be the case Francis
Donahue, chairman of the committee,
stated that the committee would put forth
exertions in re-canvass of the city to
secure signatures to the amended propo-
sition. Bogue left for Centralia at 5
O'Clock, to meet the citizens there, and
thence will leave for the Sound
