to have been the finding Of a large sum
Of gold and securities in o safe deposit vault In

Father Altinger. up to a year ago. was q
familiar figure here because Of his many eccen-
%tricities. The most pronounced OF these was his
desire. to appear as though In an impoverished
condition. He lived In q rectory which was in a
dilapidated condition. When his practitioners
offered to paint the structure Father Altinger
protested on the ground that 1t would cost too
much, His conduct finally became so strange

1t is said that in cleaning up the attic Of the
rectory a few days ago the housekeeper came
across Q vest which had formerly belonged to

Der OF papers and q key. One OF the papers
was a receipt for yt the rent Of 4 safe deposit
reported. to County Treasurer Carpene
ter. and It is said that in the vault were found
twenty-five purses, each OF which contained
1000 marks. There was also $4,000 in

cation came.
