Search For Hidden Treasure.

John Dunn tells the following on his
brother Lum, and we are assured by
his neighbors that it is the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth;
and Lum is mum when approached
upon the subject:
Some time ago Lum was employed
as convict guard at Cooley's camp in
Anderson county, S.. C. Among the
convicts was one who became very con-
fdential with Lum. He was sent up
for burglary and robbery. He told
Lum that after he committed the rob-
berry he was pressed so close by his
pursuers that he hid his BOOTY, consist
ing OF several hundred dollars, in a
hollow stump not far from Charleston,
where he leftit. Lum made particular
inquiries as to the whereabouts of the
stump and fixed the same on the trestle
board of his memory for future refer
ence.
Not many moons thereafter Lum
threw up his job at the convict camp
and came back to his cosy Georgia home
near the majestic Savannah. Thoughts
of that treasure stump haunted his day
ard night dreams until finally he de-
termined to go in search for it.
He got his wife to cook up several
days rations for him and started out
for that stump afoot.
Bravely he trudged onward with
Excelsior" craven on his Quixotic ban
ner until at last he reached Columbia,
South Cardinals beautiful capital city
on the winding Congaree.
He arrived there footsore and sick,
with an empty haversack and not red
cent in his pocket.
Learning that he had scarcely ira
versed half the intervening distance to
that far distant stump, Lum became
discouraged and determined to beat
hasty retreat and place himselfin close
communication with his home base of
supplies.
Walking in his exhausted condition
was physically out OF the question, SO
Lum resolved himself into a highland
stoaway and hid himself among the
barrels and boxes in freight car bill
ed for Anderson, S. c., under lock and
key.
John SAYS he doesn't know how long
Lum remained in the box car without
food and water, but that when he ar
rived at Anderson he was about as
empty as the promises of political
candidate before the election.
John also says that Lum may have
travelled more extensively than he has
but that he doesn't know as much.
In the meantime if any one desires
diagram and full directions as to the
treasure stump, the same can be had
upon application to LuIn Dunn at home.

ELOPES WITH HALF-BREED.
Discnrds Her Lover for n Suitor
Whom She Disliked.

Mrs. Jesse Chiffon, proprietress of the
Indiana House. No. 31S Sd street northwest
today said that her daughter Mrs. Kate
Burgess aged twenty-three years. who was
divorced from her husband Charles A.
Burgess. a few weeks ago, eloped with
William F. Campbell a half-breed Indian,
Saturday. Mrs. Chiffon added that Camp
bell is a brute.
Mrs. Burgess was married to her former
husband about eight years ago, and has
child about sever years of age. For a
time matters progressed pleasantly, but
about two years ago the couple separated.
After the separation Mrs. Burgess met DR..
]. Wilson Hope of the National Soldiers
Home at Hampton. Va. and the two be-
came engaged to be married, the day for
the ceremony to he fixed when the divorce
was secured. This was done today being
named as the date. Meanwhile. Campbell,
who was bOarder at Mrs. Burgess home,
| began to press his attentions upon the lady.
She spurned him, but this did no good and
| Campbell finally. il is asserted, obtained
so much control over Mrs. Burgess that
| she was powerless in his presence.
The last seen by her relatives of either
Mrs. Burgess or Campbell was Saturday
morning about II o'clock, when they were
noticed by some persons in the neighbor-
hood to meet on the street near the corner
of 4th and Indiana avenue and walk off
together.
DR. Hope. the groom-expectant is stop
ping at the Indiana House. and is said TO
be so Frustrated with grief that he cannot
be seen by visitors.
Il is understood the friends of Mrs. Bur
| CESS have employed officers to pursue the
couple. Detective McDevitt of Washington
went to Alexandria this morning in search
of them. Lieut.. Smith and officer Atkin-
| son aided the detective in his search which
resulted in his ascertaining that the parties
had been in Alexandria Saturday afternoon
and had left on the 2:io Chesapeake and
Ohio SOuthbound train. 1t was further dis
covered that they had taken lunch in d
Royal street restaurant and that Mrs. Bur
CESS had purchased a veil on King street.
Clerks in the store where the purchase was
made stated that during the transaction
the woman broke down and wept bitterly.
declaring that she repented what she had
done. She soon recovered, however, and
no importance was attached to the incident.
Inquiry at the clerk office showed that the
parties had not taken out a marriage
license while there.
