THREE FIGHT, ALL KILLED.
Struggle in Texas PostofIice in Which
All Meet Death,

News reaches Ell Paso of fight at
Sanderson, Texas, in the desert 800 miles
east of Ell Paso, which resulted in the
killing Of II. S. Biggs, magistrate and
school teacher; Ed Bell. a citizen, and
X. c. Mcmahon, deputy sheriff. Only
meager details have come. AS far as
learned the quarrel arose at the postofice
between Ed Bell and II. S. Biggs over
a letter. Bell had been working for
McNIahon. Bigss was a very quiet man
and was not known to have had any pre-
vious trouble. He had been school
teacher in Sanderson for eight or nine
years. The story goes that when Biggs
and Bell had a row Mcmahon tried to
separate them. Biggs fought desperately
against the two men, rs McMahon, it
seems, turned on him during the fight.
Biggs shot Bell through the head, killing
him, and was in turn shot through the
body by Mcmahon. While lying on the
floor of the postoffice he took aim at Nc
Mahon and fired one shot, fatally wound
ing the deputy sheriff, who died few
hours later.

The finding of $2,000,0G0 buried treas
ure is reported from Vining. a small
town located on Salt Fork river in west
ern Oklahoma. The treasure was I'M
earthed on the farm Of Charles Moriand,
who gave his consent to a mysterious
stranger digging on his land, provided
he would give Morland one-tenth of the
treasure discovered The farmer receiy-

Immediately disappeared. He came into
the neigaborhood recently, presumably
from the East, bringing .nap oescrib-
ing the location of the treasure. A wal
nut box was struck twenty-eight feet
under ground which contained the money.
The entire neighborhood is in a fever
heat. Stories of buried treasure on Salt
Fork have been rife for years in western
Oklahoma, rumOrs stating there was
enough gold and silver buried somewhere
there to turn the mind of a Croesus. The
treasure was supposed TO have been
buried by band Of American soldiers
during the Mexican war. The story that
Washington Lindsay, private in the
Thirteenth Ohio infantry, with eleven
of his companions became detached from
his regiment and fell in with friendly
Indians. From the Indians they learned
of much wealth secreted by them and
guarded from whites. The twelve sol
diers secured some Of the treasure and
started for the East with three Spanish
wagons laden with wealth. They were
overtaken by the Indians and a battle
ensued, Lindsay escaping with many
wounds. Apprised of the approach of
the Indians the soldiers had buried the
treasure. Lindsay was picked up by
government train and taken back to Ohio.
Several years ago wheel from an old
Spanish wagon was unearthed, and since
that time the searchers for the gold have
been there by the score.
