cLYNE MAY WIN.

Wichita. Kao.. May 26.--The only
Congressional contest that is in prog
ress in the United States and one Of
the most picturesque at any time is
the one going on now for the seat
made vacant in the Seventh district
by the election Of Chester I. Long to
the United States senate.
c. F. Clyne. the Democratic candi-
date. is twenty-nine years Old. aud Mr..
Murdoch, his Republican opponent. Is
thirty-three Mr. clyne is an orator,
while Murdoch has never attempted
to talk to a crowd The campaign is
none the less fercely contested.
Interest in the contest has extended
to adjoining states Some Of the most
distinguished Democratic orators of
Missouri and Iowa have gone TO the
assistance Of Mr. Clyne. while nearly
all Of the leading Democratic cam
paigners Of Kansas are helping him.
The election will be held today and
the remaining hours OF the campaign
will be devoted to hard work, with the
advantage slightly in favor Of Mr..
Clyne
The Democrats admit they have a
normal majority against them. but
hope more than to Offset this by the
superior vote getting qualities OF Mr.
Clyne.
There are thirty-six counties in the
district, and Mr., Clyne has up to this
time made speeches in thirty Of them
The manner in which he has been re
ceived has led the Democrats to fee
sure Of his success.
The main question, however, is tc
get out the vote. This is the farmers
seeding time and it is felt that ligh.
vote will be polled. Should a full vote
come out there is little doubt Of Mr.
Clynes election.
The farmers Of Kansas are believ
70 be getting back to the Democrat,
way Of thinking about important is
sues. and If they come out to vote the
election Of Mr. Clyne wilk be assured
This feeling Is further encouraged b!
the disposition OF the Populists t
give their support to Mr. Clyne. Should
this develop to the extent that seemi
: most likely there would be no question
as the outcome Of the election.

wires
The finding Of s2,O0O00O buried
treasure is reported from vining, a
small town located on Salt Fork river
in Western Oklahoma. The treasure
was unearthed on the farm of Charles
Morland who gave his consent to a
mysterious stranger digging on his
land. provided he would give Morland
onetenth of the treasure discovered.
The farmer received 100000 and the
mysterious stranger Immediately dis
appeared. He came into the neighbor-
hood recently, presumably from the
east bringing map describing the lo-
cation OF the treasure.
A walnut box was struck twenty
eight feet under ground, which con
tanned the money. Stories of buried
Treasure on Salt Fork nave been rife
for years in western Oklahoma. The
treasure was supposed to have been
buried by band of American soldiers
during the Mexican war. The story is
that Washington Lindsay, a private in
the Thirteenth Ohio infantry with
eleven of his companions, became de
tached from his regiment and fell in
with friendly Indians From the In
'dians they learned of much wealth Sc
creted by them and guarded from
whites. The twelve soldiers secured
some Of the treasure and started foi
the east with three Spanish wagons
laden with wealth. They were over
taken by the Indians and a battle en-
sued, Lindsay alone escaping with
many wounds. Advised Of the approacf
of the Indians the ac lors buried the

The story Of an immense fortune,
the search for which an expedition is
now being formed in Oklahoma, dates
back to the early part of the nine
teenth century, when 1t is claimed
Aaron Burr conceived the idea Of in
vading Mexico. The exact year is Civ
en- as 1913.
The leader of this expedition, now in
progress of formation, is w. S. Glenn,
an old pioneer and buffalo hunter, who
recently brought suit against the Unit
ed States to recover $4,000 in the
court Of claims for 5000 buffalo hides
which were destroyed by the Conan
che Indians in a raid in southern Tex
as in 1866. He has with him the maps
arc outlines showing where the treas
ure is located in the side Of a creek
called Lannan, in southern Texas II
his documents count for aught there
is but little doubt that 1920 900 in gold
is buried on this creek. He expects
to start his company in the near fu-
ture.
For years Glenn has been collecting
evidence to introduce into court on
which to secure the money value Of
the buffaio hides destroyed by the IN
dians In this work he has associated
almost entirely with Indians. plains
men and other pioneers, from whom
he has secured much additional evil
dence regarding the secretion Of the
lost treasure. He first heard the story
many years ago from sae Indians. but
kr5wing their superstitions, he did not
place great credit in their tale un'
recent years He is now confident
that the money is hidden in the bank
of the creek and expects to return with
the fortune

contract were that the American com
