DREAMED OF BURIED TREASURE

A Georgian's Vision Which Re-
suited in Cash and q Curious Law
Suit.
Two brothers, Hammond and PAGER
bowman Of Dahloega, Ca, are at
present involved in a dispute which
bids fair to be a lifetime quarrel. I've
or three weeks ago Hammond dreamed
that, buried under the ledge of a large
fat rock in a field belonging to his
brother PAGER, he found an iron pot
filed with gold and silver coin. The
dream made NJ impression on his mind,
however, though wnen it required for
the third time he spoke of it to several
people, among others his brother. The
latter, being of q superstttious
turn of mind, followed the directions
of the dream which had appeared to
Hammond, and, according to the Phila-
delphia Times, actually discovered a
small iron kettle containing a quantity
of silver in dollar pieces and at the
bottom O handful or two of gold coin.
This discovery was made In the pres
nee of three or four neighbors, who
testify that the ground appeared to
have been unbroken for some time
and that the kettle and coin showed un-
mistakable signs Of the action of earth
and moisture. That it is a genuine dis
covery cannot be doubted. Hammond
now claims the money in virtue Of his
dream, having directed the finder to
the spot where it lay hidden, but his
brother holds the treasure on the plea
that it was found on his land and his
having discovered it, although he was
guided by his brother, who failed to
take advantage of his W visionary
direction. The money proved to be
about $500 in silver dollars, the Oldest
of which is of the year 1905. The gold,
mostly dollar pieces, with forty or
fifty coins of 500 in value, amounts to
about $500 or $500, which, with the
silver, makes the find nearly, If not
quite, $1,000, while the age Of some
Of the gold pieces, which are Of the
last century, adds to their value. Sew
eral of the gold coins are English
guineas of the year 1771, which beyond
doubt will give them with numismatics
a highly increased value. The Down
mans remember having had a great
great-grand uncle on the material side,
who, in revolutionary times, was q
much detested Tory as well as being of
a misery turn Of mind, but there is
no tradition in the family of his having
Secreted anv treasure.
