FRAUD IN JACKSON COUNTY.
Courthouse Ring Charged with steal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SEYMOUR, Ind, April 1.-THE Demo-
cratic party of Jackson county is all torn
up tonight. Charges of alteration of tally
sheets in favor Of the courthouse ring are
being openly made by leading members of
the party. 1t is claimed that a majority of
four in favor of Henry Bruning was
changed into a majority of seven for John
Dermett. 1t is also asserted (and COM

great surprise to all, ii expected
that Jason Brown would carry the county
by large majority. Late last night, as
the returns were coming in. Brown and
his friends gave up the fight. This morn
ing the majoritieS by which Stockslager car
ried eight out of eleven townships, was not
large enough to overcome the vote in the
city. Brown only carried two townships in
the county-Jackson, by 265. and Driftwood,
by ten. making 275. In Vernon township
the vote was a tie between the two cam

majority of forty-seven. This is virtually
a defeat for him in his own county, and

BURIED GOLD AND WHISKY.
Mystery of an Oregon Farm ON Which
Treasures Are Hidden.
Portland Oregonian-

w. X. Smith, Of this city. owns a farm
OF some three hundred acres on the west
shore of SauVe's island, on which there IS
said 20 be a treasure of 100000 buried, and
alongside of IT a big trunk fun of bottles OF
whisky. The particulars I'm regard TO the
matter were learned from Mr.. Smith him
self few days ago, on the steamer KEEL
logg
During the past winter Mr. Smith stated,
some parties had been boring holes all over
his farm in search OF a treasure buried
there The work had been done nv nipht
and the neighboring farmers had seen the
lanterns fitting around the place and mis-
taken them for ignes fatui. The treasure.
which is by some said 20 be in a trunk
and by others in tin cans, was buried there
back in the sixties by a stranger. who
afterwards had the misfortune TO get in the
State penitentiary. and the further misfor-
tune to drop dead OF heart disease in an
hotel in this city soon after getting out OF
prison, and before he had time TO recover
the gold, which is mostly in fifty-dollar
slugS. While in the penitentiary this unfOr-
tunate man revealed the secret Of his treas
ure TO his cellmate, and also furnished him
with a rude map OF the ground, intended 10
show where the treasure Is located, the
bearings of certain trees etc, being given
as witness marks This map does not ap-
pear TO be definite enough, as the fellows
have been boring all over the place till IL
begins TO look like big pepper box.
When asked why he had made no effort 10
recover this treasure himself Mr.. Smith in
timated that he had not been in any need
of the money, and as for the tr1nkful OF
whisky, IL was improving with age and
would keep the best where IL IS The holes
bored, he said are eight inches in diameter
and twenty feet in depth. He has not de-
cided whether he will fill them with mold
and raise lot Of prize parsnips and horse
radish for the next exposition or whether
he Will have them pulled up and welded
into one deep artesian we'll He thinks the
fellows have bored enough holes 20 thor
oughly ventiliate his farm. and he intends
to get the idea conveyed to them that the
treasure is buried under a tree or stump.
and expects thus TO get all the timber
cleared off his place, which he intends soon
to have all under cultivation.
