tin can containing 81 800 in gold and
silver coin.
Mr.. Bookers farm is on White river. and last
spring during the high water, he noticed an
old tin vessel which had been buried on the
banks Of the stream and had been partly I'M
covered by the water, but paid no attention to
it. The other day he gave the old can kick.
and was surprised to find that 1t was full OF
gold and silver coins. He dug it up and found
it contained small fortune. The coins bore
dates ranging from 1856 to 1863. which leads to
the belief that the money was buried during
the war.
