SEARCH FOR PLUMBER.
Treasure Hunting in Arizona for
the Booty Of Stage Robbers.

The finding of a revolver marked
Blood for blood has revived an old
story of buried treasure at Phoenix, A.
t. and a number of men are digging
in the vicinity of the place where the
weapon was found In June, 1876,
five men held up a stage coach on the
Black Canyon road, near Arastia Hill.
One passenger was killed, and the
booty consisted of a big roll of new
$100 greenbaeks and a bar OF. gold
worth $32. 900. A year or so later it
was reported in Phoenix, and, indeed
throughout the extreme Southwest,
that the product of the stage robbery
had been buried at Phoenix.
Two of the robbers made partial con-
fessions when mortally wounded, but
their explanations were cut off by
! death. 1t seems that the robbers had
feared to make use of the greenbacks
because those notes We're rare in that
part of the country and would arouse
suspicion. They therefore buried the
bills and cut the gold bar in two with
an ak and buried half, together with
the pistol of the murdered passenger,
which was a peculiar one, bearing the
words, Blood for blood"
The whole was inclosed in an iron
coffee pot. Almost every year since the
story of the treasure became known
one or more searchers have appeared at
Phoenix, each claiming to have tip.
received at some bad mans" death
bed or in some equally sensational way.
Some years ago a priest from Magda-
lena, Sonora, who had been given the
location by a man who died of a wound
received in a fight, spent a long time
in searching for it without success. It
is probable that the treasure, if ever
buried at all, has been removed by
some searcher who thought it well to
conceal his success.-New York World.

Then Frank Plevenak. another member of

Cutler took exception.
that Cutler could not drink a quart OF
whisky without taking the flask from his

Cutler was delighted with the prospect
to secure free booze and make s. at the

An EmpIoye of British Government
Shows Damaged Anatomy From

Andrew Cameron arrived in New York
the other day from Vera Cruz. with part Of
his left leg almost in pulp. due to the fact
that i shark had become too intimate vii

'It was a bottle-nosed shark. too" moan

Cameron is a deep sea diver. He is in
the employ of the British government and
holds a naval certificate. He was sent 10
Vera Cruz to inspect some of the piers
there, and ii was while doing that work
that he made the acquaintance Of the
shark.
For three months there was not a sign
of shark. The only things that Cameron
saw when he went down into the depths
were dogfish.
But on October 16 there came n change.
Three men We're in a boat pumping down

rubber suit the rubber being a quarter
of an inch thick. and regular diving boots.
On the bottom of each boot was twenty

small for the passage of ordinary sized sea
birds. and too big to prevent them cannon
ing against the network without entangl-
ing themselves, the birds may struggle in
vain In fact the more they struggle the
more hopelessly they become entangled. Tor
the nets are purposely hung quite loosely:
Or the coast in the neighborhood OF
Friskuey the sea recedes quite three miles
at low tide, and the high water mark
some distance below which the nets are
set varies very considerably. according TO
the season of the year. During the spring
toe the flight nets are placed close up to
the sea wall, while for the autumn tides
they are mile or two down the flats.
Much skill Is required in the placing OF
the nets. If they are too far down, the cap
trred birds will very possibly be drowned
by the rising tide. and if too high up on
the shore, the greater portion of the birds
will miss the nets altogether.
Kind of Birds Taken.
Not only are gulls. wild ducks, wild geese
and the smaller waders captured in the
nest. but occasionally hawk or hooded
crow will be taken, and at certain seasons
rive on the coasts at the same time as the
wocdcock. 1t seems strange to find hawks
and hooded crows in the nets. The explain
alton probably is that they have flown sea-
wards attracted by the cries and struggles
of the captured birds and eager to devour
them.
A dark and stormy night. when the wind
driven clouds obscure the light of the moon
and stars, is considered the most favorable
for fight netting. The birds move from
place TO place more freely and are pre-
sumably less able to see and avoid the
nets. After such a night. as many as
sixty knots have been taken in one net.
besides many other kinds of birds. The
catch. of course, varies very considerable
according TO wind. weather and position OF
the nets.
The birds when captured are packed into
large bags and are carried in this way
TO the flight netter's home. Here such
birds as are alive are turned out into pens
the Gulis and larger birds into one and
the smaller waderS into another. They are
the rude shock of their capture. Then thoss
which are quite healthy and uniniured are
shipped in baskets and hampers. with sack
ing nailed over the top. to their destin-
atlons in various parts of [ a kingdom.

specimen of his breed. but hard usage
had deprived him of nearly all of his teeth.
Hence he could not feed properly and was
in wretched condition.
Mr.. MOsely first had a special tray for
the dogs mouth constructed and then a
gutta percha model of the mouth was
made. Then he procured the smallest hu-
man incisors to be found and ground them
down to the size and pattern required.
There are six of these little teeth in front.
top and bottom, and three each side. top
and bottom. making twenty-four in all.
When the set of artificial teeth was first
fitted to his mouth Myn Duyvel fought
furiously against the operation. BY and
by he became reconciled to them, and when
he tried them on pork chop and found
he could eat it. bone and ala luxury of
tooth work unknown to him for many
years-he manifested his satisfaction In all
the usual canine ways.
Mr.. Mosely has doubtless started a new
style in dogs-the dog with store teeth.
He has incidentally suggested a universal
safeguard against hydrophobia. II all the
dogs are obliged by law TO wear artificial
teeth the greatest terror Of dogbite will

burglar purposes the dog with the store
