thoroughly overhauled and renamed
her the Rover. Then he returned to
Jackson and persuaded an old friend,
Claude Thomson, upon whom he
could rely TO go with him.
On the 22d of February, the 59th an-
niversary of Capt. Henderson's birth,
the Rover left New Orleans, and drop-
ping down the river turned her head
across the gulf on her long cruise. The
voyage was a rapid one and without
accident, and on the 18th of April the
Tristan dAcunha group was sighted.
On the morning of the 14th the Rover
entered the cove, where portion of
the wreck of the Lark could still be
seen.
Henderson and Thompson rowed
ashore alone and Notwithstanding the
thirty-five years which had intervened
since he last visited the spot, Hender-
son led the way without hesitation to
the cave where the treasure lay buried.
Half an hour later the chest was un-
earthed. 1t was not until they were
back in the calm of the river that they
broke open the chest. The contents
were found to be intact and uniniur"i.
Notes and gold together amounted 10
$173,32O.
THE TREASURE SECURED.
The Rovers prov was turned home
ward without delay and two months
later the adventurers landed at Phila-
delphia. one thousand dollars was dis
tributed among the crew $150,000 was
deposited in the Third National banl;
of Philadelphia and $4,000 in cash was
brought home by Henderson, who pro-
posed to spend the remainder of his
days i'm peace, enjoying his wealth,
which he had waited so long TO get.
1t was not until the appearance of
Howard Summers a few days ago that
any one questioned Capt. Henderson's
right TO the entire fortune. Young
Summers, however, claims thar 10 is
the son of Can't William Fl. Summers.
He alleges that when Capt. Summers
sailed away on his last voyage he left

wife has since died They heard of the

a large sum of money with him, but

A tale Of buried treasure that would
cause Capt. Mayne Reid or Robert
Louis Stevenson to blush was made
public yesterday, writes a ChiliCothe,
o., correspondent of the Chicago Rec
ord under date Of Sept. IA, when
young man named Howard f. Sum-
mers filed a petition in the county
court at Jackson, in which he seeks to
recover from Capt. Charles A. Hen
derson the sum of $S6 $50, which, he al
leges, is half of a buried treasure
which Henderson secured from an is
land in the South Atlantic. The story
unfoldcd In the petition reads like IA
tale from the Arabian Nights. Hen
derson admits that the story is true.
but requires that Summers prove his
claim upon the treasure.
In 1860 William II. Summers was
captain OF clipper built brig called
the Lark, and for some years he had
been following the profession of a
smuggler with uniform success. At
that time he met Henderson. then a
young man, at Baltimore, and offered
him the position of first mate on the
Lark. Henderson, who was born at
Jackson, O., and who had run away to
sea while boy accepted the offer al
though he did not know at the time
that the Lark was "A smuggler, He
soon found this out, however but con-
| tinued in the position of first mate.
WAS A PRIVATEER.
When the war broke out Summers
turned his brig into privateersman,
and, it is said, was not as careful as
l,a iuh ha
laws Of the high seas. He met with
great success, at any rate, and at the
end of three years was ready to retire.
| BY that time he had amassed nearly
$4,000 in gold and notes, which he
| kept in strong chest in his cabin. No
| one knew of the existence Of this chest
| except himself.
| In 1864 the Lark left Rio Janeiro
| homeward bound and her captain had
| determined as soon as he reached home
to sell the brig and lead less perilous
| life. But off the coast OF South Amerl-
| ca the ship ran into a terrific hurricane
and for over a week was driven rapid
! ly to the south and west During all
that time it was impossible to take an
observation to determine the ships po-
| tiOn, but on the tenth day the sky
cleared and it was found that the ship
was near the Tristan d'Acunha group
! of islands in the south Atlantic. Land
was in sight 10 the northward, and to-
ward this the Lark was turned, for the
ships supply of water was almost eX-
| hausted.
CHASED BY MAN-OF-WAR.
Half an hour later the lookout re-
ported a man-of-war headed straight
for the Lark. Now the captain Of the
Lark had many reasons for not desir-
| ing to meet man-of-war of any ma
tion, and all sail was crowded on. But
1t was soon evident that the Lark was
no match for her pursuer and Capt.
| Summers decided to run her into a
| land-locked cove. Before anythns
further could be done the man-of- wal
hove to outside and dropped her boats
into the water for the purpose OF con-
tinuing the pursuit, The crew of the
Lark did not wait for them. however

The Contest Case.

The attorneys in tue Gubernatori&

day inspecting the ballots which both
sides have objected to. At the sug-
gestion Of the counsel the court some
time back informed the attorneys
that they could inspect the ballots
objected to, so as to prepare more in
diligently for the final argument Of
the case. AS there are some HOO OBJ
jectons to be inspected it is presum.
ed that this work will occupy the at

After Thirty-Seven Years.

In 1861, j. w. Perry and wife left
Nebraska for California across the
plains. In August 1863 they arrived
ut what is now known as Simpsons
Park, where Mrs. Perry died Of con-
sumption. Her husband buried her
remains i'll rough box near the road
and proceeded with his companions
to California, first living ID Stockton
a number Of years and then removing
to Santa Cruz, where he resided for
thirty one years. The Reveille says
that on Sunday last Mr.. Perry arrived
in Austin and went to the grave of
thirty-seven years ago, disinterred the
remains and on the following day
left with them for his home near San
ta Cruz where he will place them in
their last resting place. The bones
we're all perfect and in place, a con-
siderable portion of the hair was well
preserved and cloth that was placed
under the body was apparently as
strong as when put there over third
OF century ago.

Criminal Carelessness.

1t is rather slow day now il the
fire bell doesn't ring at least once. If
fire does not break ont accidentally,
people with no more sense than a
dead horse will employ tramps to
rake up rubbish in their back yards
and set it on fire, Such fire started
about noon in A. w. Fuller's back
yard on Piety Hill. People from tho
town were soon on the ground and
got the fire under control A stiff
wind was blowing at the time and but
for the prompt action of the neigh.
bors and citizens a destructive fire
would have swept that portion OF the
town.
An INDEPENDENT reporter asked
Miss Swetland-Mrs. Fuller's daugh-
ter-how the fire originated and was
told that that tramp had been en-.
ployed to rake up the chips in the
yard and had set it on fire Of his own
notion. This is disputed by the
neighbore, who say that the fire had
been burning FOR two or three hours
and the people Of the house knew of
it.
II this be true, and we have no
doubt Of it, today's alarm was the re.
suit OF rank criminal carelessness
that should not 60 unrebuked. PEG.
pie who engage in family jars while
fires, endangering their neighbours
property, are burning in their back
yards have no right to complain il
the citizens Of the TOM censure their
conduct and condemn their acts OF
criminal carolcssness.

The Hospital Fire.

How the fire started at the county
hospital Friday is mystery that
Steward. Abel is unable to solve.
When it was first discovered, two
piles of wood some distance apart
we're burning fiercely. Mr.. Abel Is
positive that none OF children or any
Of the patients we're about the wood
during the day. All he knows is that
about sixteen cords Of wood went
up i'll smoke. MIR. A bel worked at the
smoldermg embers until two o'clock
this morning to prevent them from
breaking out and destroying the hos
pital and other buildings.
In this connection the INDEpEE
DENT wishes to call the attention Of
the commissioners to the almost total
absence of facilities for lighting fire
at the hospital. There is now a
small hydrant and about forty feet of
good hose on the hospital ground. 1t
can readily be seen that in case of a
fire the county property is almost
without protection, This should be
remdied by tho Commissioners at
their next meeting. At least two
fire plugs shou ld be put in-one in
front and the other IN the rear of the
building-and two hundred feet of
hose for each hydrant should be pur-
chased and kept in hose house near
each plug. This would be but a
trifiing expense compared with the
value of the property it would pro-
tect.

ment in his address to the clubs, re-

dorsed notes given by Robert L. Wal
ker. Chairman Finley says he had
made personal investigation of the
matter and found that there was no en-
dorsement, but that they were partner
ship notes signed by Mckinley and
Walker. He claims that the notes
have not yet been paid, but were
bought up by Mark Hanna and they
are now in Hanna's possession and are

CHICKEN THIEVES
Took a Covered Wagon and
Filled 1t With the
Choicest Pullets.

1t will be exceedingly dangerous for
chicken thieves to again infest the
Vicinity of the fair grounds very soon.
Thursday night and early Friday morn
ing residents for several hours were on
the alert for some thieves who had en-
tered their coops and removed fine
chickens and the services of police
officers were secured, but no discovery
was made of the rendezvous OF the
thieves, which is supposed to be in this
city. About 2 o'clock Friday morning
Mrs. Whitacre and Mrs. Vint Porter,
who reside near the fair grounds along
the Massillon road, were awakened by
hens cackling in their coops. They
arose and investigated, and were just
In time to notice several men in COW
cred wagon escaping down the road
leading to their houses. Their hus-
bands were called and they followed
the thieves into town on to Harrison
avenue. The services OF Sergeant Rib
Let and Officer Ryan were secured, and
Altogether they traced the tracks of
the horse and wagon down Harrison
avenue into the south end Of town, but
lost all track of them. Mr.. Porter
owned an especially fine lot OF pure
bred chickens of great value and his
loss amounted to good many dollars.
Other neighbors, including III. S.
eKauffman, informed the police during
the day OF chickens having been re-
