me search for the wealth which is sup
posed TO have been hidden by the old
man previous TO his death, in 1898. Rn-
dolph Hanks was rope-maker. bu. dur
ing his life he boarded up lttk. for
tune in money and lands In the fan of
1895 he became suddenly insane and was
sent TO the asylum 1T Oshkosh, where he
died Il short time later. Only few DAYS
before Hanks lost his MUD he sold sew
eral pieces Of valuable property. and no
trace OF the money received for the prop
erty has ever been found The estate
was settled, but although Hanks often
received large sums of money none of It
was found about the premises. From
ineoherent mutterings during the months
that he was confined in the asylum, it is
said, the fact was brought ont that the
old man had buried large sums of money
ON his farm Pear the house. Neighbors
of the old man say that he often worked
late at night in one of the remote cor
ners of the farm. Men who had a close
acquaintance with Hanks say that, at the
time of his death he must have been
worth $40, 900, and as none of this money
was ever fond it is supposed that this
amount is hidden under the soil of the
little farm.
