The First Ward School.

In view of the declarations Of
Mayor Wilkins and the balance
of the council school committee
touching the location of the
first ward school it would seem tc
behoove the residents of the west
side to go actively and earnestly
to work and assist the committee
in finding a more suitable loca-
ton.
The mayor informs the BANNER
that the school committee and in
fact the entire council were
anxious to locate the building
more conveniently to the west
end patrons, but we're deferred
by their inability to secure a site
at anything like a reasonable
price.
Inc mayor further says that
the location at the corner of
Academy and Cottonwood streets
was not selected until after the
matter had been laid before
every member of the council and
also submitted to the president
and other members of the school
board, and that they all con-
CURED in the choice, in default
of a better one. Provided a
more suitable location can be
found by next Monday the
mayor is more than willing to
rescind the bargain with Mr..
Wood, and it is also understood
that Mr.. Wood is willing to dis
solve the trade. After Monday
it will be too late, as the time is
very short in which to erect the
building before the opening of
school for the fall term.

lows had in camping out was
two fold. They were hunting
and at the same time dodg-
ing the Confederate enrolling
officers who had a recruiting
station at San Antonio. One
night, l think it was Tuesday,
the entire party was away from
camp except myself. The moon
was about half full and made
sufficient light for me to see dis
tinctly for a considerable dis
lance. We were camped some
distance from the bank of the
river. Our boys had ridden off
all their horses and carried the
dogs along, and every thing was
perfectly quiet. After eating a
cold snack, not caring to make a
fire, l lay down just in the
shadow of a small tree, through
the sparse foliage of which l
could see the moon gliding along
over silvery bars of clouds, and
seeming to be the only moving
thing in the range of my vision.
l was fast falling asleep when
heard a faint moan as of some
man or animal fatally wounded.
The sound came from the direction
of the river separated from us by
scattering underground. 1 was

UNDER the direction of Mr.. R.
D. Coughanour, Jr., represent
ing the Texas Survey and Rating
Bureau, of Dallas, a test was
made of all the hose belonging
to the Brennan fire department.
Several joints of the old hose re-
fused to ''stand the pressure, -
but fifteen hundred feet or more
of the new hose was found to be
highly satisfactory. The test
was made for the purpose of re-
rating the city for the different
insurance companies doing busi-
ness here.

SEARCHING FOR BURIED GOLD.
Andrew Gordon Tells Thrilling Story OF
Murder and Buried Money.
Thinks it has Been
Washed AWAY
Washed Away,

washed away.
Those searchers after buried
treasure supposed to be conceal
ed along the crumbling banks OF
the Neuces river in Uvalde coun-
ty returned Friday morning.
Messrs. Tom Evans and Hillery
Hutchinson and colored man,
Andrew Gordon, composed the
party. If they succeeded in I'M
earthing new Klondyke they are
very quiet about it. They have
been absent from Brennan more
than a month. AS the entire
trip, nearly three hundred and
fifty miles, was made overland,
most of the time has, been spent
on the road. Although a boot
less adventure so far as treasure
was concerned they enjoyed the
Touting greatly, killed plenty OF
game, caught plenty of fish and
had a general good time, such as
only the freedom of outdoor life
and the pleasures of the camp
afford in this age of luxury
and,inaction.
Andrew Gordon, the colored
man above referred to, was the
instigator of the search. His
story of how the money came to
be buried and his theory of its
disappearance from the locality
may prove of interest. 1t is as
follows, minus an occasional lapse
into dialect in which Andrew
now and then INDUCES:
Sin 1862 myself and several
young fellows spent three months
or more camping out on the
banks of the Neuces river. l
think we struck camp in March.
1 was the only colored man in
camp and was kept pretty busy
cooking, looking after the horses
and doing other camp duties.

have for the past three years, made
it a rule to keep myself supplied
with Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, and have
found numerous occasions to test
its merits, not only on myself, but
on others as well. l can truly say
that I never, in a single instance,
have known it to fail. 1 consider it
one of the best remedies travellers
can carry and could relate many in
stances where I have used the rem
edy on skeptics, much to their sur
prise and relief. I hope every

carry bottle of this remedy in his

bine was close at hand, and TAX
it with me l crept down toward
the river. When about sixty
yards from the bank l came to a
sudden halt behind a clump of
bushes and my blood all but con-
jealed at what l saw. Two stall
wart young men were bending
over the bulk of something which
1 at once recognized were dead
bodies. They appeared to be
going through the clothing of the
dead men. The search did not
last long, and as soon as it was
completed, the bodies were drag
ged short distance to the bank
of the river and flung into the
stream. All this time l lay per-
fectly still, scared in an inch of
my life, but determined if the
men started in my direction to
give them the best that my car
bine contained. Returning from
the bank of the river they set to
work digging a small hole in the
ground at the foot of a small
tree. When the hole was be-
tween two and three feet deep,
they stepped back among the
brush and were gone some little
time. When they returned they
were carrying a rawhide sack,
which | knew at once contained
money. This they placed in the
hole they had dug and piled the
fresh earth back on top of it and
tramped it down. This done
they blazed several trees close to
where the money was buried,
and left, going in the direction
they had taken when bringing
the money.
l don't think 1 moved for sew
eral hours, but finally made up
my mind to get back to camp
and try to sleep. The next
morning l went down to where
the money had been buried, dug
it up and found that the rawhide
sack contained large quantity
of Spanish gold and silver. l
put as many doubloons as 1
could carry conveniently in my
pockets and reburied the balance
in the same place. There was
no blood on the ground to indi-
cate the tragedy that had oc-
CURED the night before, and l
never knew how the men were
killed.
That evening our boys came
home from the hunt and turned
their horses out to Craze. That
night every horse in camp STAN
peded, and we were left foot.
Camp was at once broken and
we set out for the nearest settle
ment and hired conveyance to
San Antonio. Shortly ter
reaching San Antonio our boys
were drafted by the very enroll
ing officer they had been dodg-
ing and sent to the guard house
l went with them. There l saw the
men who had buried the money
and made away with its owners.
They had been enrolled also. We
were all sent to what was called
Arkansas Post, near Pine Bluff,
Arkansas. The men who buried
the money were named Gus and
Charley Martinler. When they
found that knew about the mat
ter they told me the men killed
were two wealthy Mexicans for
whom they had been herding
cattle in the Black Hills. The
Mexicans refused to pay them
for their services and they fol-
lowed them all the way from the
Black Hills. The Mexicans were
on the way back to Mexico.
Charley died at the post with
black measles and Gus was
courtnartialed and shot for re-
sisting an officer. Fifteen min
utes before he was executed he
called me to him and gave me a
plot of the ground where the
money was buried. | lost the
