in Albuquerque, n. NJ, last week that
by digging in a certain spot they
would come upon cedar post, near

exact spot indicated by the gypsy, and
investigators have unearthed the heavy
walls of a pre- historic dwelling expos

pick and shovel is trying to find that
box of treasure, and one of the prominent
American sheep raisers has two men at

return of the gypsy chief who is to tell
them the exact spot where the millions
shall be found.

placed special fund of slG0, 600 in the
vault, in the care of Cashier S. K.
Ramp, to be kept as a special reserve
fund, during the panic in the summer
of 1893, and only to be used in case of
absolute necessity by the bank during
the presidents absence. Not long
afterwards Ramp went to Flesh

spent the entire sum in gambling in
