MISSION OF EXPLORERS.
VIII Hunt For Buried Treasure In the
Mountains of Kentucky.


Robert Beatty, John Wiehle, Samuel
Pyles and corps Of laborers left Ports
mouth, O., recently OH curious expe-
dition to the headwaters of Kinnikin-
nick river, in Fleming county, KY,
about 90 miles south of Vanceburg.
They were we'll provided with survey
ing instruments and tools for digging.
The object of their search is buried
treasure. Beatty's father was soldier
in the war of 1912. A comrade with
whom he enlisted was fatally wounded
at New Orleans. Before dying he gave
Beatty an old Spanish map and other
maps and sets of landmarks locating
the place where a chest of gold and
silver coin had been buried by a relative
who was fugitive from justice. The
elder Beatty brought the papers home
with him. He did not dare to share the
secret with any one and, being very
poor, was able to make but little head.
way in locating the spot indicated. In
1860 he died, bequeathing the secret to
Robert Beatty.
The son made many trips to the
Fleming county hills, making the jour-
ney afoot and alone for fear of discov-
cry. He at last located all the land
marks, but unfortunately aroused the
suspicion of party of moonshiners, who
drove him away with warning not to
come back on pain of death. This was
IL years ago. Since then Beatty has en-
deavored to interest some one who had
money enough to conduct the search
properly and who would agree to under
take it without demanding a share in
the entire secret Pyles and Wiehle
finally made an agreement that suited
Beatty, and the expedition was fitted
out. The money is stated to be con.
cealed in cave in the limestone rock,
similar to the caves in Carter and Lewis
counties, the entrance having been GOV.
cred with rocks and earth. The party
proposed to go to Vanceburg by rail,
thence by wagon across the hills. Gin

Patrick Ford, prominent Nebraska
politician, received news recently from
the navy department that brought glad
ness to bis home Four years ago his
young SON, Patrick Ford, Jr., student
at Creighton college, suddenly disap-
peared from Omaha. Mr.. Ford heard
nothing from his son until the other
day, when the navy department wired
him that young marine of the Maine,
who escaped the disaster and rendered
valorous service to his comrades, con
fessed that he was Patrick Ford, Jr.
The dispatch declares that young Pat

The young student requested the po-

him go to his home and tell his mother
his troubles. The policeman consented.
