New York, June 22.-Stories of
the war in the Far East have caus-
ed an outbreak among the inmates
of the Morris Plains Insane Asylum
near Morristown, N. j. Half
dozen lunatics who had engaged in
long controversy, finally made a
break for liberty. They crossed
Speedwell river and hastily threw
up small fort of timbers on the
top Of hill. Attendants attempt.
ed to carry the works, but were
met by. vol1eys of stones and beat a
hasty retreat. For three hours the
fort held out. Then truce was
arranged and the commander of the
garrison agreed to a parley as escape
was impossible.
A conference with the comman-
der of the keepers was held under
the white flag on a big fiat stone in
the middle of the river. In all se-
riousness the lunatics, after long
wrangle, agreed to surrender, hav-
ing been granted some small favors.
No losses were reported beyond a
few bruised heads.

Portland. June 22.-Oregonian:
The fine American steamship Ne
braskan, of the American.Haw
ian line, arrived in port at 6o'clock
yesterday morning, having com.
pleted the longest voyage ever made
by an oil burner. The vessel comes
from New york, and brings 1000
tons of assorted cargo. She is the
first of what is hoped to be per-
manent line of steamers plying be-
tween the Atlantic seaboard and
this city.
In 55 actual running days the
Nebraskan steamed 1852, using
crude oil for fuel. She left New
York April II and arrived at San
Francisco June 10, where part of
her cargo was discharged. On the
passage around from New York
the vessels speed averaged 1884
knots. Her tanks have a capacity
of II, 900 barrels of oil, which will
run her for 60 days.
The Nebraskan is the best exam
pie ever seen in this port. She has
all the conveniences for handling
cargo to be seen on foreign tramps,
and many more besides. Further

FARMER PLoUGHS up LONG
s, BURIED TREASURER.
Reported Discovery OF from $780,
600 to 100000 on squakie
siig Hill-Rayages Of Grass
u hoppers in Umatilla.

Groveland, N. Y, June / 1.-The
people of the neighboriDg village of
Mount Morris are generally worked
up over the reported finding of a
treasure.of buried gold coines on
the farm of John r. White, on
Squakie Hill. The general report
is that the gold amounts to about
$500, 600, although some of the OPP
timistic who have talked with Far
mer White put the value of the
coins as high as $50o,000. Living
ston county has not been SO full Of
mysterious runaors for many gem
erations, and almost every body has
a different story toteli of the won.r1
derful find. Nv 3s3 sa.fi 81. "
2a During the American Revolution,
one of the stories goes, a paymas-
ter in the Continental army on his
way into the Genesee and Wyom-
ing valleys was murdered by In
dians, who buried somewhere in the
hills the gold that the paymaster
and his assistance were. taken with
them to pay the soldiers. Squakie
Hill is one of those surrounding
the Genesee Valley.
The story of the buried treasure,
growing as the years went BY, has
been handed down from generation
to generation in Livington county,
and nearly everybody who has been
horn and brought up in the vicini-
ty has made a search for the buried
treasure at one time or another,
every cave and cleft in ethe rocks,
and every old hollow tree has been
explored, and men have been dig
ging here and there in the hills, off
and on, for a ahundred years. But
up to the present times SO far as
was ever known. nobody has ever
come across single coin.
,Clairvoyants and so-called mind
readers have been brought here and
to Mount Morris, in the hope that
they might dream out the location
of the gold, and small parties fol-
lowing the mysterious tips received
have dug at night on Squakie Hill
and in a hundred other places with
out success.
The story now circulating through
Livingston county is to the effect
that one of Farmer Whites hired
men was engaged the other day in
ploughing part of the farm that
had never before been titled, when
his ploughshare turned over a large
dot stone. Tuner the stone was "a
| mother round, fiat stone whicn gave
forth a hollow sound when accident
ally struck. The round stone be-
ing lifted up a vault or hole in the
ground was discovered. The farm
hand replaced the cover and when
he went up to the barn to- turn ia
the horses for the night he told Mr..
White all about what he had dis
covered.
That same night, tits said, the
owner of the farm went by himself
to the vault with lantern and
spade. A neighbor saw the lantern,
be says, travelling several times that
night between Squakie Hill and
the White dwelling. This and some
talk let fall by Mr.. White himself
have given rise to the story that all
of the immense buried treasure has
been recovered.

Change In Ownership of The Lisbon
Free Press Is Reported by Which
Harrison Will Again Be in Charge
of the Publication.

Lisbon, N. D., July 2o.-There will
be a change in the ownership of The
Lisbon Free Press within few days.
Geo. L. ToWnes is reported to have
given an option on the plant to syndi-
cate of local men. who will secure
George Washington Harrison, former
editor, to manage and edit the paper.
Harrison has been here day or two
in consultation with Townes and it is
understood local men have put up the
cash to bind the deal.
The property is one OF the best in
the state and the advertising and job
patronage is excellent. 1t will be even
better under the new combination.
Editor Townes is said to have a
splendid business offer in St. Louis,
which he is considering, and may retire
from the newspaper work for some
years
1t is. said the transfer of the plant has
considerable political significance and
may mean a shake up in Fourth judic-
ial district affairs. For years an effort
has been made to secure the head of the
judicial district here. Frank P. Allen
is a candidate for Judge and efforts
will be made to secure his nomination
and election.
The change of ownership may also
figure some in the next senatorial fight.
