MONEY. IN PICKLE JARS
Important Discovery of Two Repor.
ters In Mrs. HiIIe's Backyard.

80 deFb IN MRS. f11llc5S DNcAyAENs4
MILWAUKEE, WIS., Two reporters for
local newspapers visited the home of Mrs.
Mathilda Hille and told her there was some
doubt in the minds Of the readers OF their
papers of the truthfulness OF the reports about
the finding Of bottles of money buried in her
back yard. "a
This was ruse on the part Of the re-
porters, who wanted chance to help at the
digging, and it worked like a charm, for she
readily consented to allow them to go into the
yard and WELD the spades while she and her
son sat on the fence and looked on. n.
The reporters had toiled for an hour when
one of them came upon a fiat rock, which
he turned over. Under 1t he found a jar
that had been used originally for pickles.
The top was sealed with wax, and when
broken off, exposed a quantity OF silver, con-
sisting Of halves, quarters and a few dollars,
in all amounting to $40. 3e5
But more important than the money was
| piece OF paper In the bottom OF the Jar,
which proved to be a key to the chart found
| last week. This gives an explanation Of the
scheme adopted by the eccentric physician,
whoever he was. SO far as locating the bottles
is concerned. 1t indicates that there Is still
| q large sum of money hidden in the yard.
One Of the reporters says that the key con.
sists principally of table OF dates, begin.
ming with 1876. What the list of dates means
is not apparent. Unquestionably the mar
first dug up and the table of figures have al
important relation to each other, and those
who have examined 1t agree that 1t is a key.

that the writing Of obscene letters has gone
