BURIED TREASURE FOUND.

Trunk Containing $4,000 In Gold Said
to Have Been Discovered in California.
A San Francisco Coll special from
Fresno, Cal, reports the finding near
the cemetery west of town of a, trunk
containing $4,000 in gold, conjectured
to have been buried there years ago by
Joaquin Vasquez, the outlaw of early
days. The name Of tho finder Of the
gold is guarded carefully by the few
who know of the discovery, but the
story Is vouched for by ]. G. Wofford, a
former deputy constable. According
to Wofford, some old Mexican who died
recently told the party who discovered
the treasure OF its existence end the
place where it could be found. By
singular piece of good fortune the
trunk was found in one Of the first dig
gings for it.
Wofford gives as his reason for with,
holding further facts regarding the
find that it is not desired to let the
authorities know of it.
The finder and his friends were under
the impression that the state could con-
hscate one-half of the treasure. This
it is desired to prevent by not making
the discovery known There is a pos
sibility that Wofford's friend has found
only counterfeit coin. Deputy Sheriff
Timmins states that q convict told him
that he knew whereia trunk containing
a large amount of counterfeit coin was
buried near this city. The prisoner
said he would tell the officers where it
is located when he should have served
his time. Timmins refused to divulge
the name Of the convict It is in all
probability the trunk Wotfor1's friend
found

BATTLE WITH AN EAGLE.
Desperate Hand to Hand Struggle
Occurs Near st. Joseph, Mo.
The Big Bird Attacks n Horse and In Dc

Lake Contrary, about five miles south
of st. Joseph. No.. has had remark-

ing. He had left his horse tied to q tree
and gone to see if he could find any rab-
bits, when he heard q ccmmotion in
the direction in which he had left the
animal. Setting down his gun. he
went back to see what had happened,
when. greatly to his surprise, he saw a
big eagle seated on the back OF the
horse Just behind the saddle He hur-
ried closer and found that the talons OF
the great bird were fastened in the flesh
of the horse. The eagle was making
such Roadway in torturing the horse
that Farmer Holzhauzer Thought best
not to take time to return foG' the gun.
Consequently he entered into open bat
tie with the bird. The horse was fairly
wild, and jumped Hbout in feTocious
manner, meanwhile emitting sounds
of the most dismal kind.
The appearance OF the farnerwas the
signal for renewed activity ON the part
of the eagle, and he pulled his taloDs
out of the horse's flesh and swooped
down on Kolzhauzer, who had previ-
ously picked up q heavy club and with
it lie defended himself. His first blow
stunned the eagle for n moment, but
the great bird made another pass at the
terrified farmer and scratched
piece of flesh several inches; in area out
of his left shoulder. Then the bird bur
led it's talons in HolzhGuzer's right
hand, lacerating it in frghtful man.
ner. Nerved to desperation the farmer
made a superhuman charge with his
club and the bird fell to the ground IN
able to rise. HolzhHuzer then hastily
reached his gun and put the bird to
death in short order.
The fight lasted only q few minutes.
but Farmer Hokhauzer declared that
it seemed hours to him. He came to the
city as soon as he recovered from the
excitement, and the story of his strug-
gle, related by him at the central police
station, attracted much attention
Holzhauzer brought the eagle and the
horse to town with him and exhibited
them as evidence of the fight The
eagle measured eight feet from tip TO
tip and its talons were of unusual size.
The back Of the horse shows where the
talons were fastened deep into the flesh
and there is cash on theanimal's hip
seven or eight inches long. The wound
is probably 1h inches deep where ths
eagles beak first struck the horse.

ALL WANTED TO BE BRIDES.
Dismal Failure OF q Plan to Trap m
Eligible Young Man.

A good-looking young bachelor of
Hebron, Wis, being questioned by the
nine young women of a club regarding
his single state, replied that he would
cheerfully marry any one of their num-
Der whom they might secretly elect
by ballot.
The young women prepared their bal
lots in disguised writing. When read
the vote resulted in one ballot for each
of the nine young women members.
This resulted in the breaking up Of
the club and engendered a strong per
sonal feeling among the girls.
The young man remains unmarried.

Simpson, of Kansas, made things lively
for the Erst half hour in the house, to-
day. Rising to question Of personal
privilege, Jerry launched into red
hot TRADE ag ,inst Speaker Tom Reed
and his dictatorlal policy. Mr.. Simp-
son said: "The newspaper wits are
calling ma an obtructionis., but the
real obstructionist is Speaker Reed.
Is he above attack Must we grovel
at his feet and crave his mercy simply
because he is speaker"
After order was restored, Speaker
Reed, in caustic talk. told MIR.
Simpson that II he would present res
olusion asking the appointment of
com mmittees and If the house concurred,
hs would appoint them at once. Mr..
Simpson rslorted that Rsad knew he
was safe 10 making such proposition
as he had majority behind him to vote
down any such resolution. Mr.. Dingley
stopped the running fire OF sarcasm by
making motion to adjourn until next
Thursday.
