BURIED BY SPA1IARDs

Sedalia, Mo-. June 3O.-There is CON-
siderable excitement in k%nobnoster,
Johnson county, over search that is heing
prosecuted there for the 81, 5000 o in
gold supposed to have been buried by
Spaniards many years ago. Tradition
says that the Spaninrds were conveying
the gold from Mexico to Boonvi!le for
shipment ON the river to New York when
they were attacked by Indians and while
making a defense they buried their ,reas-
ure. On the spot where debris of the
wagons has been found, excavations were
commenced last Monday and the work
has been prosecuted vigorously ever since.
but so far no trace of the gold has been
found. The searchers are confident that
they are on the right track.

in his behalf. claiming that Monroe is not
a resident of the Fifth congressional dis
trict, and is not entitled to Il West Point
cadctship. No action has yet been taken

Cottages for Old Veterans.

In the past there has been considerable
complaint on the part of some of the old
soldiers living in this state because no
provision was made at the Hot Springs
soldiers home for the families OF old
soldiers who had entered the home. Any
old soldier who, on uccounto OF disability,
was compelled to enter the home, ii
married, had to leave his wife and family
behind to shift for themselves and get
along as best they could. On this ac-
count many old veterans whose cor.
ditions. both physically and financially,
made them eligible to seek admission to
the home, have refused to do 30 because
they would not desert their wives and
families. Recently, however, the board
build some cottages near the home for
some OF the old soldiers who have
families.

MADE A GREAT FIGHT
DICK MOORE DEFEATS NADER.
THE AUSTRALIAN.
Twenty Vigorous, Scientific Round,
Fought Before the Phoenix Club
in 81. Paul-Moore Now Next 10 the
Champion Weller Weight.

st. Paul, June 3O.-Last night Dick
Moore made the effort of his life in his
so with shadow Maber, the Australian,
and advanced to within one notch of the
American w~eltcr-weight championship.
Mysterious Billy Smith alone stands in
Dicks way and prevents A.n from wear
ing the championship belt to-day. 1t
was by far the prettiest contest ever
seen ut the Phoenix club or in the North
west, and fully 500 people saw Dick dash
the predictions of the wise men TO the
ground, and defeat the willy Australian
with all his generalship. in twenty lively,
vigorous. scientific rounds. Previous to
the match there was some little betting,
and il was mostly in Maber's favor. 1t
was thought his long experience in the
ring would give him u great advantage,
and the fact that lie had met and defeat
ell many men of note also helped to make
him the favolitc. Dicks friends chung to
him, however. and accepted many of the
bet" made against him. Not only this,
but they offered odds on him. and Freely
expressed the opinion that Dick was a
sure winner. As it proved. he won as
easily as Boulidless took the Chicago
Derby. and at the close of the contest
was picked up by his wildly enthusiastic
friends and carried to his dressing room.
Willie there was no brutality about the
contest. and both men were still in good
condition at the close. it was nevertheless
plainly apparent that Moore had won by
long odds. and accordingly Referee See
ley declared him the winner. The deci-
sion was eminently satisfactory. Though
Maber exhibited great g%eneralship and
gave u clever exhibition of his ability to
clinch, it availed him nothing, for he was
outboxed and had met his superior. An
attempt will now he made to arrange u
match between Moore and Smith for
the championship of the world.

Cloud That VIII Put . Quietus or.
Many Similar Cases.

st. Paul, June @.eJudge Mitchell, Of
the supreme bench, yesterday handed.
down ten decisions. One of these is Of
special interest, as it will have q tendency
to do away with certain classes of per-
sOnal injury cases. The case referred to.
is that of Mary A. Wright, respondent.
VS.. the City of st. Cloud, appellant, in.
which the Judgment of the lower court
Is reversed. This was an action brought
to recover damages for personal injuries,
caused by the alleged negligence of the
defendant in permitting snow and ice
to accumulate and remain upon a public
sidewalk so as to render it unsafe for
travel. The accident occurred in the
residence portion of st. Cloud last Feb
ruary. Abutting the. part of the side
walk where the accident occurred there
was unoccupied property about eighty
feet in width. On either side the occu-
pants had kept the sidewalk in GOOD
order, but opposite this property the snow
had not been removed ali winter. Al
the result of successive falls and drift
ing of snow the path across this walk
had become rough and icy. The plaintiff
had not Travelled this path during the
winter until the day of the accident. She
admitted that before crossing she looked.
ut 1t and saw it's condition, but preferred,
to cross it rather than go around it. and
in doing SO she slipped and fell, sustaining
injury. The syllabus says:
"lf a person with full and present
knowledge Of. the defective condition of
q sidewalk and of the risks incident to
its use voluntarily attempts to travel
upon it when the defect could. easily
and without apprcciable inconvenience,
have been avoided by going, around it,
he is not in the exercise of reasonable
care. but must be presumed to have
taken his chances, and if injury results
he cannot recover from the CITY,"
