After Going Without Food

Precautions Taken to Pre-

West Virginia DesperadOes

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. 13.-
Edward and George B. Jackson, the
two brothers of Montgomery, w. Va.
for whom rewards have been offered by
both State and county authorities, sur
rendered to-day and are now In the
County Jail in Charleston. The men had
been secreted In an abandoned coal
mine just outside of Montgomery and
were driven to surrender by hunger and
cold.
Since the shooting Of Sheriff Daniel
and their subsequent disappearance
they had spent the time in the coal
mine, secreted from their pursuers and
the bloodhounds that were put on their
trail During this time they were with
out food and drink.
The officials took the men around the
town of Montgomery and by a round
about way brought them to Charleston
to avoid a riot or lynching, which un-
doubtedly would have occurred had the
citizens of Montgomery discovered that
the Jacksons had been taken.
There are now six prisoners in the
Charleston Jail implicated in the Mont
gOmery shooting. 1t is not considered
safe to have the hearing of any Of them
take place at the present time

TO DIR AIN LAKE
FOR LOST COIN
Company of Business Men in
Texas Will Endeavor to
Locate Historic Treasure
WAS DROPPED IN WATER
A Hundred Thousand Dollars
of Mexican Silver Aban-
dOned in the Early Days
Special Dispatch to The Call.

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 13.-The search
for lost treasure amounting to more
than 100000 of Mexican silver, which
is said to be living at the bottom Of
Collins Lake in Leon County, this
State, will soon be commenced. A joint
stocw company, composed of a number
of business men of Oakwoods, Texas.
and other citizens Of that section, has
been organized for the purpose of con-
ducting the serch for this buried or
hidden silver in a systematic manner.
The company will drain the water
from this lake by means Of powerful
steam pumps. The lake is situated
about fifteen miles south Of Oakwoods.
1t covers twenty-five acres Of land and
the water is five to twelve feet deep.
According to the legend of this treas
ure a caravan of Spaniards were on
their way north in the early days and
the silver filled the bed of large
wagon, which was being drawn Dy SIX
mules. When near this lake an attack
was made on the travellers by a band
of hostile Indians In order to save the
silver the wagon was driven into the
lake and it's precious contents dumped
out. Only one member of the party
escaped from the savages and it took
him many years to make his way PACK
to the City of Mexico, Where ne tOlu
his story, but it was not believed and
he could get no assistance in recov-
ering the treasure.
This survivor is said to have left
a description and a crude drawing of
the spot where the silver was hidden
and this he handed down to his SON.
Still no effort was made to recover the
treasure and it was not until the great
grandson of the survivor of the mas
sacre came into possession Of the doc
ument that any movement was made
to secure the fortune. This great
grandson was without means himself,
but he managed to make his way to
Texas and by means of the records
and documents in his possession he
easily located the lake where the sill
yer is supposed to be deposited.
The story of the lost treasure is be-
lieved by many people of the Collins
Lake section and those who have gone
into the enterprise of draining the
lake are confident that they will find
the big fortune lying at its bottom
Powerful pumping machinery is be-
ing installed and the lake i'll be drain
ed as fast as possible. 1t will take
probably two months to pump it clear
of water.
