went to his WOodshed and dug up a tin
bow which he had buried there. He found
the box, but to his CONSERVATION the con-
tents were gone. When last seen by Mr..
Storzbach the box contained $1,000 Of
Stevens Point city bonds; $4,000 in gov
crnment bonds, and about $4,000 IN gold
and g~reenbacks. The money had been
buried in the woodshed about two years,
but had frequently been inspected by its
owner. who has no suspicion as to who
took it. AS far as is known no one knew
where the treasure was concealed, Lut
someone evidently knew that Storzbach
had a large sum in his possession, as Lis
house has been entered and searched sew
eral times during his absence.
