appeared before President Girard OF the
Bank Of Lafayette at Lafayette. La, yes

Of Spanish gold and silver coin, which,
they said, they had recently found near
the mouth of Bayou Verinilion. The negroes
said that a few days ago while fishing in

deep an old-fashioned cannon filed with
gold and silver. They refused to tell the
exact place where they found the treasure.
They say it was discovered by means OF

One Of the negroes estimated the value
Of the coin, which completely filed the
cannon, al SiOO, 900. but while admitting
this was a guess, the men stoutly maintain
that the amount is large indeed. The men
promised to bring the money to the bank.
While the general disposition is to treat
the story of the negroes as hoax or
mistake, their tale has revived the popular
tradition that the Pirate Lahtte or his
men buried booty secured on one OF their
raids on the gulf coast There is n popular
story that one of the Spanish vessels. while

that pirate treasure is hidden somewhere

when he was driven out of Louisiana by
