FOUND THE BURIED TREASURE.
Experience of Sergeant Hall while
Lacking for Money at BcilIeld.

ant-Detectiye John I. Hall has
lust returned from Bellheld. where he had
a most interesting adventure seeking for
buried treasures.
Last week NJ arrested Edward Gordon
alias Fisher who confessed to breaking
and entering the house OF OctaVia TIL
man and stealing 500. which. he SAID, he
had buried in his fathers potato-patch. at
Bellfeid. His father. he said, was stand
ing by at the time. Detective Hall went
up TO Belheld and found the elder Cor
don at home. with his wife. He denied
the story. and for long time refused
to admit anything except that his son
had given him s., which he had spent.
even though he was told that Edward had
confessed.
At last the old woman broke In. you
have lied enough TO this gentleman; now
you've gDt to show him where you put
the satchel.' Obedient TO her command,
he led Detective Hall about two miles
through dense underground. At last,
after wading up to their knees for half
mile In water, the negro stopped at a
pool and fished out the satchel. which
was tied up in a bag. Ii was the right
one but all the money had been taken
out. Sergeant Hall insisted on being
given the money, and the man led him
back to his house. and pulled up the
floor in the back room, and, after dig
ging about a foot and a half. got up
tomato-can containing $40 This was
all the money he could secure.
Then they went out 10 search the 20.
tato-patch. and while Officer Hall and
the Sheriff were digging Gordon made
a break for liberty. The Sheriff fired
three times and Mr.. Han twice. but the
negro paid no attention TO them and
gained the woods He was caught, how
ever. by Mr.. X. G. Lipsey. turned over to
the authorities at Emporia. examined
and sent to the grand jury. His son
will be before the Police Court Satur-
day.
