1897, sailed for COcos in the schooner
Aurora, under command of Captain
Fred Hackctt. WLeu they landed in
Chatham Bay, on the northeasterly
point of the island, they were amazed
by meeting creature who seemed
only half human. He was dressed
like Robinson Crusoe in the skins Of
beasts, his hair and beard were loug
and tangled and his eyes were wild.
At first he could not speak, but after
they had allowed his wandering facul-
ties to adjust themselves he told his
story.
He said that some years before he
had obtained concession from the
Costa Rican Government which gave
him the exclusive right 10 search for
the buried treasure, with the under
standing that he should pay over half
of all he found. He brought from
Puenta Arenas a gang of men IN the
little gunboat Turalba aud began ex-
cayations, guided by a chart which had
been obtained from n descendant of
the original committee that made the
cache. After working several weeks
without result the men became dis
conteuted and insisted upon return
ing TO Costa Rica. The captain of the
gunboat advised that they should be
allowed to go, and promised to return
with new gang as soon as he could
make the voyage. Hartford deter
mined to remain, because he believed
he had found the right location and
feared to lose it again. But the Tur-
alba never returned, and he had been
alone upon the island, he could not
say how long. For the first few
months he kept tally Of the passing
days by making notchcs on a sapling,
but finally gave it up, and had almost
abandoned himself to despair when
the Aurora arrived.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Caused by Contact With a Live Elec-

Archie MeKillop the Vlcum-.climbs ,c
the Top Of an Electric Light
Fole and Meets His Death.

About O'Clock Monday afternoon on,
Of those accidents TO which boys of
bold and adventurous spirit are at al
times exposed caused the death o
Archie ! Reginald, son Of the Rev
Ronald and Mrs. McKillop, of Tn,
First Baptist church. Contact with al
electric light wire carrying over 200,
volts Of electricity proved instantaneous
fatal. He was found lying at the foot o
a 25-foot electric pole back of the Nc

on Liberty street, with life extinct anc

No one can be said TO have been az
eyewitness to the accident, but tn,
fact seems to be that the boy climbed
the pole, in accordance with previous
ly expressed intention, and either lost
his balance and grasped the wire tc
save himself, or took hold Of IL, not real.
izing the danger.
Archie wasa very bright and actiye
boy, taking much pride in feats OF
climbing. During the afternoon he
played with neighbor, Freddie Lam
port, and announced his intention OF
climbing to the top OF the electric light
pole. Freddie advised him not TO, but
when his friend went home he procured
a short ladder, which was afterward
found leaning against the pole, .and
which enabled him TO reach the iron
foot-holds, making the ascent easy.
AT the Il. s. Iamport home across the
alley, the attention of Miss Lizzie Welt
was attracted by the sound of dis.
turbance on the wires, and looking out
she noticed an appearance Of electric
flashes at the top OF the pole, and had
watched IL for several seconds when she
saw something fall to the ground. Eddie
Lamport, with Ida Childers and Edna
Hubbard, then went out to investigate.
They found the body on the ground
at the foot Of the poleand IL was carried
into the McKillop house and physicians
were called IL was at first supposed
that he was unconscious from fall out
Of tree near by, but the truth was soon
discovered
There were two wires on the pole,
one carrying 20S0 volts the other $500.
II is not known which was touched bv
the boy, but contact with either would
prove instantly fatal.
Archie was Of an active and investi-
eating turn OF mind, and Il is supposed
that he wished TO investigate the re-
lucer which is upon the pole and from
which the lighting wires lead into the
Baptist church. lie had several times
expressed curiousity to see how this
works.
Archie was the youngest OF a family
II four boys. His oldest brother, jamie,
was at McMinnvlle attending school.
lie was notified, and came home at
lnce.
The bereaved barents and brothers Of

in their ailliction.
