FRIDAY EVENING. JAN 21. 1898.

DID THEY DIG Up $45 900 -Four
Dallas, Texas, men who have been
digging for S45, 900 of buried gold in
Oaklawn, suburb of North Dsla3,
for the last four weeks, are looking Tor
DR.. R. J. Willnarth, who, they say, has
fled with that amount Of treasure.
They helped DR.. Willmarih buy lol
for 81 900 at the corner OF Hood and
Gillespie streets when he showed them
evidence that the gold had been
buried there more than twenty years
ago by an old Spanard who recently
died without kin in San Salvador, Cen
trail America. The Spaniard gave b
map and other directions to DR.. Will
marth to reward him for attending him
in his last illness.
Willmarth returned to Dallas from a
years stay in Central America few
weeks ago. He arranged with bis as
SOCRATES in the gold diggins at Dallas to
divide equally what should be found
The men say DR.. Wi!lmarth stood guard
on last Friday night. The next morn
ing large fiat stone was found re-
moved in the diggings and biz empty
hole was near it. The men have not
been able to find DR.. Willmarth, and
made their grievance public Tuesday
evening.
Investigation shows that DIR. VIII
msrth enlisted in the United States
army at the Dallas recruiting station
about a week ago This was prob
ably done as q ruse to conceal some
purpose. DR.. Willmarth first went to
Dallas four or five years ago from
Rome, n. Y. He bad done ambulance
work in New York city at Bellevue
Hospital. He went to Genital Ameri-
ca from Dallas about three years ago
discouraged at his lack of success in his
profession
