Today Lived In Montgomery
CounfY.

William "A. McTaggart, whose name

BONDS DUG UP.
Rich Find Made by Negro Cellar
Digger.

Cincinnati, May 5.-Buried treasure
in the shape of eleven $1,000 bonds,
bearing unclipped coupons, which add
several thousand dollars to their value
was found by Thomas Lawson, negro
laborer while digging in the cellar of a
down town department store on Sixth
street.
The ground was formerly the proper
ty of Drifting Bros, piano manufacture
ers. In the tin box was found a paper
on which was written: These bonds
belong to Julius and Martin Drifting
and are the result of years of industry
and saving"
This discovery solves a mystery
which had been a source of angry con-
tention among the heirs of Julius Brit
ting, whose sisters brought suit against
Martin Drifting, a brother charging
him with having concealed the bonds.
Martin denied everything, but notwith-
standing his denial, a judgment was
rendered against him in favor of the
estate of Julius for about 81, 900. The
money was collected and the estate dis
tributed and settled.
The negro Lawson may now claim
the bonds which are in custody of the
Drifting estate. He claims it as treas
ure trOVe.

Mail says:
The citadel, the largest fort in Hall

a fort and will be utilized hereafter
principally for barrack purposes. The

enormous cost. A large number of ma
rooms were imported from Jamaica to
assist in the construction of the works
but the mortality among them was so
great that the British government con-
sidered it advisable to send them to
