Relatives of a Dead Man
Find His Buried
Fortune.
Told of Its Hiding Place by
an Apparition as They
Slept.
Follow the Instructions Given to
Them a nd Are Well Re-
Warded.

PORTLAND, Or, April ga family
named Marriott, living at Bertha, few
miles from here, received on the 18th of
February last advice of Mrs. Marriott s
fathers death at Marietta, Ohio, says the
Evening Telegram. Five nights later
Miss Elsie, the eldest daughter, dreamed
that her deceased grandfather appeared
before her and giving her map of his
place near Marietta instructed her where
to dig and recover his buried cash. He
admonished her to delve for it N person.
The following morning at the breakfast
table the girl related her dream, and to
the am mazement of the others Mrs. Marriott
stated she had had similar dream the
preceding night, with the exception that
her father told her none but Miss Elsie
must unearth his buried money.
There was a greater tangibility about
these dreams than would appear on the
surface. Just before the panicky times in
1893 Mrs. Marriott's father was known to
have considerable money on deposit in
the banks, bu. when the crash came he
frequently said that he had not lost dol
lar. However, he refrained from stating
how he escaped the unlucky fate of many
other deposItors. Inquiry elected the
fact that the old man had withdrawn his
Iunds month or two before the banking
houses began to crumble.
The Marrlotts were so influenced by
those dreams that Miss Elsie returned to
Ohio the middle of last month, and she
and her brother, Harold. began an investi-
cation. From time to time the Marriotts
received letters from her, but none of
them of a hopeful nature, Her parents
were about to write to her TO abandon the
search for dreamland fortunes and re-
turn home, when on Sunday last intelIi-
gence reached them that her perseverance
had been richly rewarded
Miss Elsie wrote that the dream chart
she accepted as a guide had proved in
correct; but, nevertheless, after she and
Harold had plowed over twenty acres of
ground the latter struck an old coal-oil
can at depth OF about two feet. 1t con-
tanned the money and bonds her grand
father had taken out of the banks. In all
they amounted to $17 1000, OF which Sic, 600
was in gold coin.
The rest of the Marriott family went
back to their old home last w ednesday
night.

SAN DiEGkRS REFyTE A RUM0R.
Ridicme the Report That Jesse Grant
Receired Money From the Grant
Memorial Committee.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 23.-The dis
patch sent out from New York on Wednes-
day night, to the effect that Jesse Grant
had requested the Grant memorial COM
mittee to send $3.50 to defray his expenses
to the memorial services attending the
dedication of the Grant monument, was
read here to-day and soon the story was
general on the streets. Unusual interest
was taken in the report, because this city
is the home of Mr.. Grant and family, and,
while no one believed the story, there was
considerable curiosity TO learn from what
source it emanated. Judge George Puter-
baugh who is a close personal friend OF Mr..
Grant as we'll as a business associate, was
seen this evening and asked concerning
the dispatch.
1.-The story" said Judge Pu.erbaugh,
us utterly ridiculous, and while on ac-
count of Mr.. Grants absence, l cannot
positively deny ii, l would be perfectly
willing to bet million dollars TO cent,
and offer to give back the cent if l WOE,
that there is not scintilla of truth In it.
In the first place Mr.. Grant left San Di-
ego Tor Mckee on an important business
trip over three weeks ago and has not yet
returned. In the second place, If he had
wanted $3.50, which be did not, there are
fifty men in this city who would have
time as he wanted ii. In the third place,
if he were hard up and needed the
money for the trip, he would certainly
have tried to get enough TO pay at least
some considerable part of his expenses.
Mrs. Grant and the two daughters
one OF them, Miss Nellie, young lady of
II years-left for New York on the limited
Tuesday morning. The railroad fare alone
for the party, including sleeping accom-
m odations, will be over $780, The bonnets
of the ladies cost more than $3.50. Nom
sense! The story is absurd. If Mrs.
Grant needed money she could have got
IL from her father Hon. w. 5. Chapman
OF San Francisco, or Mrs. U. S. Grant or
U. s. Grant Jr., or score of others. with
out making pu blic the matter at all.
There are only two WAYS to account
for the story. Either it was sent out by
some correspondent who was misinforme ed
or inspired by some animus, or else there
is grain of foundation in the possible
fact hat General Porter might have wired
him $50 as a compliment OF the commit
tee. But Jesse Grant is too generous to
be mean and too much of q gentleman to
ask any one to help him in the way indi-
Gated
Hon. A. J. O'Connor, receiver of the
Consolidated National Bank, and close
acquaintance OF Grants, says the story is
silly and confirms Judge Puterbaugh's
remarks. The same answer was made by
Judge J. Wade Mcdonald and others.

UTAH OUTLAWS ESCAPE.
Pursuit of The Pleasant VALLEY Robbers
Has Been Practically Ab1n-
GoDed

SALT LAKE, UTAH, April %. The pur-
suit of the men who robbed Z. L. Car
penter at Castle Gate on Wednesday OF
$500, which was to have been Used in
paying off the employees of the Pleasant
Valley Coal Company, has virtually been
abandoned. Mr.. Carpenter himself said
to THE CALL representative to-day that he
deemed further search useless, as the rob-
bers had undoubtedly reached that por-
ton of the San Rafael country known IS
the Robbers Roost," and once in these
mountain Businesses they were safe from
capture.
Two of the posses in pursuit had little
battle yesterday. each mistaking the other
for the supposed robbers. A couple of
horses were killed, and it was surprising
that no human lives were lost.
There is some talk about organizing q
big posse. with the idea of attacking the
stronghold of the robbers with dynamite.
1t is believed the gang could be routed in
that manner, but the country in which
the outlaws rendezvous may not be able
to stand the financial strain. The $4,000
reward offered may stimulate some ad-
venturous spirits TO make bank account
and a name for themselves at the same
time.

FRESNO WITNESS BLUKDERS.
Important FONT Scored BY the, Defense
in the Triaf of Professor
Snnders

FRESNO, CAL, April 23-In the cross
examination OF Carl Eisenschimmei, the
handwriting expert of San Francisco
brought to Fresno by the prosecution for
the forgery trial Of ". A. Sanders, the de-
tense to-day scored a very important
point. Whether it was a trap sprung by
Attorney Short or mere accident must
be conj njectured, but the fact remains that
the lawyer succeeded in giving a hard
blow to the reliability of the expert tes-
timony. Mr. Eisenschimmel has been
very positive In pronouncing the sigma
lures to the Wootton draft and deeds to
be forgeries. He gave his testimony in
thorough and Intelligent manner, and it
went far TO convince the jurors OF the guilt
Of the defendant.
The expert was under the fire of a vigor-
Gus cross-examination for about day
and acquitted himself crediiably. He
maintained his seif-composure through
out, and, despite the vigorous efforts of
the defendants attorney, his testimony
could lot be shaken.
But this afternoon Mr. Eisenschimmel
became somewhat irritated. Then it was
that he gave the hasty statement which
seriously reflected on his ability as an ex-
pert. The point gained by the defense
was that the expert pronounced a letter
to have been simulated by the defend ant,
while, in fact it had been written by a
person not connected with the case at all.
Attorney Short submitted to the expert a
private letter from Captain E. a. Won
Schmidt OF San Francisco, but the witness
was, of course, not made aware of who the
writer was or to whom the missive was
addressed. Alter examining the letter for
a few minutes, Mr.. EisenschimmeI ex-
pressed the opinion that it had been simu-
lated by the defendant on trial.
That ALL" said Attorney Short, and
he relinquished the witness.
The defense Immediately had subpoena
issued 10 bring Captain Won Schmidt here
to have him identity the letter and testify
that il iS hls w-iting

straub was hanged at Friday Harbor
in Island County this afternoon, about
o'clock. When at the last moment ne
was informed that the Governor had re-
fused to interfere, the condemned man
could scarcely stand for the adjustment of
the black cap. His neck was broken by
the fall.
Straub murdered Leon Lanterman a
Blakely Island farmer, on August 80. 1895
The trouble grew out of matters pertain
ing TO the public school lands of the
island. According to the evidence Straub
lay IN wait for his victim. and after the
shooting OF Lanterman took to the woods
vowing he would never be taken alive
Several days later he surrendered to a
Sheritf's posse. Many of his neigh bors on
the island believe that Lanterman was not
the first man he had murdered.

BAKER CITY, Or, April 23-The
