Stolen Millions Lie
Buried in the Earth.

LONDON, March 14.-So much
loot by brigand. pirate. robber. thief
and highwayman has been buried in
England in years gone by that every
land owner in the realm suspects that
he has a gold mine in his garden,
and many man has dug up the earth
to vast depths lest he might be ac-
cused of slothfulness in his quest
of wealth that may lie therein.
The officers of Scotland yard esti-
mate that the total value of buried
wealth-of riches that may never be
found-will run far into the mil
lions. The romance of continually
hunting for these hidden treasures
is one of the pastimes of the yard
men, who believe they have

suits.
Less than year ago 100000 was
stolen from bank in Paris. The
two men who stole it and were trac-
ed to London quarreled shortly after
reaching these shores and one of
them killed the other. The murderer
took the money out to Farnham,
in Surrey. and buried 1t there. So
much has been learned by the de-
tectives. 1t was also discovered that
the murderer returned to Paris and
Was assassinated by friends OF the
man he had killed. The secret of the
hiding place of the treasure died
with him and no end of effort has
been wasted in the fruitless attempt
to find 1t.
