Up Old Silver Money.


Treasure seekers will be upturuing
the streets of Savannah now for hidden
wealth. Three of the city street hands
are richer by a number of dollars for a
recent find. While the city force was
at work on Bull street e~xcavating for
sewer traps and laying sewers, prepare
tory to the asphalting of Bull street to
the park, a party of workmen uncovered
a pile of silver which had been hidden,
doubtless, for more than half a century.
The workmen were digging a trench
along Bull street, near Jones Street lane,
when M Of them, William Dunn,
turned up a pile of silver half dollars
and other silver money with his spade.
Dunn dropped his spade at nee and
commenced to gather the silver into his
hat. George Blanden, a negro, who had
just shoveled over the same spot, turned
and saw Dunn gathering up silver with
out limit, it seemed to him. Blanden,
too, dropped his spade and went for the
silver with both hands. A white laborer
named Scully also reached the spot in
time to get a share of the newly discov-
cred wealth. The cache was soon ex-
hausted, and the men proceeded to x
anime their gains. Most of it was in
silver half dollars of the dates from
1924 to 1886 with some of an earlier date
than 1924. There were also a number
of French and Spanish pieces.
Dunn, who is an old man, refused to
let anybody count his money, and car
ried it off without letting any one know
the exact amount. The others esti-
mated his pile at over $50, but he in
formed a reporter that he had sold all of
it for $3.50, its face value, to various
parties.
Blanden said he got $40 and that
Scully got $5.25. Blanden sold his to
various parties for a slight advance On
its face value, and Scully did the same.
In Scully's pile was a very old five franc
piece.-Savannah News.

TWO MEN.

Determined to have a taste of re-
venge first, the girl drew from its hiding
place a loaded rife, which she also kept
by her, and sent a ball S % close to the
depredators that one of them had an
arm shattered. Then she took a wet
bedquilt, and running out to meet the
fire, pounded it along a strip as wide as
the cabin. There was a high wind, and
the flames swept by ON either side, unit
ing again at a little distance, leaving a
V shaped piece of sod, 1t the base of
which stood the cabin. The men had
all they could do to care of the wound
ed arm, and when the smoke cleared
away the plucky little ex-school teacher
saw them still out on the prairie.
Now that the danger to herself was
over, pity came to the surface and she
went out and helped to bind up the
strangers arm, sending him off with her
own pony to the doctors. Somewhat to
her surprise, as she afterward confessed,
the pony was returned to her in safety
and she was never again troubled with
claim jumpers She owns now her claim
and considerable stock.
Her deed was not an exceptional one
for a settler. Many a 81 and woman
had to fight for the land they now pos
sess; but it was remarkable In that the
girl tempered her revenge with mercy,
and showed herself more than the equal
of two men.-Kansas Cor. st. Louis

SOME BRAVE WOMEN.
PLUCKY FEMALES WHO COMPARE
FAvORASLY WITH MEN.

Mrs. Anna Kimbalrs Daring Feat of Rid
Ing Before a Herd of stampeding Cattle
to Save a Mans Life-Miss Willard and
Her Claim That Didn't Stay Jumped"
There was a heroine of the cattle trail
whose name was at n time, back in
the seventies, heard in every camp from
the Cimarron to the Brazos. Anna Kim
ball she was named, and she was the
wife of a camp manager, n of those
characters who took care of the tents,
the cooking and the baggage of the cow
boys when a great herd was on it's trav-
els from the southern ranges to the
northern feeding grounds. One day,
when a herd of 5000 cattle was camped
neal the Salt Fork of the Arkansas, in
the Indian Territory, she was left alone
in camp while the cattle were feeding
near by. Suddenly, from some cause
never to be explained in a case like that,
the herd lifted its thousands of heads
and following a few excitable leaders
started on a stampede. Such a rush is
death to any one in its path, and Mrs.
Kimball ~anxiously looked over the prai-
rie to the north, whittier the nero was
tending. A few hundred yards ahead
of the believing beasts there was a
white hat showing against the green Of
the plain. 1t was n of the herders
who had dismounted, and his pony had
deserted him. He was directly in the
path of the oncoming avalanche of
beef. The animals, blinded with their
panic, would trample him into the earth
without a pause.
Only a moment remained for action.
The woman was the only one near the
front of the herd. Leaping upon a pony
she dashed it forward, passing one rank
after another, until she was ahead of the
herd, when she dashed directly in their
way. Should her horse stumble she,
too, would be lost. But the horse did
not stumble and Mrs. Kimball came
nearer and nearer the man now racing
at his best pace toward her. At last,
when the laundering host was not more
than three rods behind, she leaned far
from the saddle and lifting with her
suddenly strengthened arm the herder
by the waist, she threw him across the
neck of her pony and went racing on
until they were without the range Of the
cattle.
1t was a deed which few men could
have accomplished, and the handsome
watch presented her by the men at the
end of the drive proved that, hardened
as they were, they recognized a brave
act.

of gas during the year was about thirty
cents per 1000 feet, and the average sell

A Thousand Dollar Nugget.

1t has just leaked out that on Wednes-
day E. Getchel, a Georgetown miner,
found a nugget valued at $1,000 in De
vine gulch, one mile east of George
town. When Getchel found the mug
get he was sluicing off the ground,
which had been condemned as worked
out, for the purpose of filling a reservoir
at the mouth of the gulch. He noticed
a few %colors, and followed up the lead
to where he found what he supposed to
be a piece of quartz, but was astonished
upon finding it to be gold. Its weight
is 5614 ounces.-Georgetown (Colo.) Let

Return of a Cent After Nine We,

Nine years ago Ed Goss, an Auburn
confectioner, was working in an Auburn
shoe factory.
One day, just for curiosity, he took a
cent from his pocket and cut the letters
''Goss' on it, and not long after used it
toward paying a little bill which he
owed around the corner
The other day some one came into his
store, and in the change handed him for
a pound of candy chips was the cent
with his name upon it, which had come
again into his possession after all these
years.
Who can tell through how many
hands the lettered cent passed in its nine
years circulation.-Auburn (Mass.) Ga

A PRAIRIE

A
Among the heroines Of the prairie
there must not be omitted some of the
women who have taken up claims and
defended their rights against all corners
Several instances of this kind of bravery
have gained state wide notoriety, and
justly so. They endured hardships and
took chances which entitled them not
alone to 100 acres of land, but to the
best wishes of the whole state in which
their lot was cast.
A Miss Willard took up a claim near
the Kansas and Nebraska line, far out
on the plain. She had been a school
teacher in Illinois and became weary Of
the drudgery of her position. She select
ed a handsome quarter section and pro-
ceeded to make a homestead entry and
to reside on it the required six months.
She had been on the claim but a few
weeks when one day she noticed two
rough looking men neal the little cabin
in which she lived. She watched them
until they had withdrawn to some dis
lance, and saw them point to the quarter
section eagerly, as if discussing its posi-
bilities. The next day she was compelled
to ride to the county p~ostoffice, five
miles away, and she took care to take
her shotgun with her. On her return
she found that her claim had been
"jumped"-that is, the men had taken
possession of her cabin and proposed to
treat her as an intruder. AS she came
near they motioned her to keep away,
but she did not heed them, and sudden
ly bringing her gun to her shoulder she
discharged a load of shot into the side of
the cabin.
The men were probably unarmed, for
they did not stop to dispute possession
at that time, and vacating the house ran
out to the prairie. The girl took the
house, pleased with her easy victory,
but she reckoned without her host, for a
few moments later she saw smoke curl
ing up from the grass a few rods away.
They had begun to light the prairie fire

A Pertinent Illustration.

In Homestead many of the workmen, We be-
lieye, own their homes, just as Mr.. Carnegie
owns his mills Suppose that the members OF
the company, outnumberiug the wor4men, had
seized upon those houses, the property of their
emplyes, and had sworn that II the latter re-
fused to agree 10 their terms they wouli keep
possession OF them defiance of law: and that
the sheriff, seeking To restore the houses to their
rlghtful owners, as he was bound 70 do, had
been turned away with threats OF violence and
his proclamation against riot torn down.
Would not the Carnegie company have been
damned BY The voice OF every honest citizen OF
the United states? Would not the entire rress
depraved and honest decent anarehistic,

state by the first train TO see that justice wal
done il Homestead?
suppose the Homestead employees themselves.
