the slippers became loosened and he
was forced to stop and retie the thongs.
He was thus employed when he heard
low snarl back of him and, look

a full-grown fisher scrambling up the
trunk of a balsam tree not ten rods
off. The next instant the animal was

eyes noting every move of the trap

The next thing the trapper did was
to release his snowshoes and grasp

his right arm and placed the open

THE TREASURE OF

New Interest in Legends of Riches

The discovery by a party of English
and German miners in South America
of the buried treasure of the Incas,
which had been dismissed from mems
minds long ago as a myth, has revived
interest in legends of other vast stores
Of gold and silver hidden by aborigines
from Spanish invaders and by the
padres from Indian marauders in the
strenuous times of Cortez and his
successors.
George McAllister and Juan Alvara-

the Southwest and Mexico, who spent
the winter in New York arranging a
deal in copper properties located in
Sonora. left for the West early in May,
because they have reasons satisfac-
tory to themselves for believing that
the story of the treasures of Gran
Quivira is no fable.
The treasure of the Incas is estima-
ted by the discoveries and by the
government of Bolivia, which claims
all or large part of it, to be worth
about $4,000 600. The wealth which

AS BAD CROOKS
OUT AS ARE IN JAIL
SAID PREACHER PRISONER.
REV. THOMAS o. McsEIN, CoLORED,
PREACHED IN PRISON.

He Is Under Sentence to Serve
Twelve Months on the ChaingHng
for Bfgamy, hut That Did Not In
terfere with His Preaching Abil-
ities-He Had an Appreciative Au-
dience which Included Murderer
WnIie Calvin.
There are worse criminals out of
Jail than there are in jail declared
Rev Thomas Q. McSein in his sermon
before the prisoners at the county
Jail yesterday afternoon.
McSein is in Jail himself, being held
to begin his sentence for bigamy as
soon as the remittur comes down from
the Supreme Court. He is the negro
Chief Deputy Sheriff Sweeny and
Deputy Sheriff Forgarty arrested only
a week or two ago. when the Supreme
Court decided not to grant him a new
trial.
In support of his theory that there
are worse crooks out Of Jail than are
confined behind the bars, McSein re-
ferred to his own case. He said he
was locked up for bigamy, while there
We're numbers of negroes walking the
streets as free men. who had two or
more wives.
MsSein Is TaIkcr.
II was by special permission that
McSein preached. When he was ar
rested. il will be remembered, he was
preaching at the Pilgrim Baptist
Church and was exhorting the negroes
in his congregation to forsake their
evil ways.
When the officers arrived on the
scene, the preacher was in the midst of
this appeal to sinners. His eloquence
so impressed the officers of the law
that they waited until he reached
good place TO stop before entering the
church and putting him under arrest.
McSein is a very smart negro and is
fond of talking. one of the first re-
quests he made when he reached the
Jail was that he be allowed to preach
to the prisoners. Among his congrega-
ton was Willie Calvin, the man SEN
fenced on Saturday by Judge Seabrook
to be hanged on July s.
Advised Them To Reform.
Mcsein pleaded with all the prisoners
to reform ana give up their evil ways
He said in talking TO them he did
not address them as an extra bad lot
He believed there We're just as bad
men, who are to-day free The Chris
tian life was the happiest. he said,
and he urged all of them TO become
Christians.

case was appealed &C the Supreme
Court and he gave bond pending this
appeal. When the Supreme Court de

officers took him in charge for fear he
would run away. Until the remittur

TRAPPER HAS FIERCE RACE.
FcrOciOus Fisher Attacks Him in
the Mountains.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Homer Weston, an itinerant trapper
of Canada and Vermont, was attacked
by fisher while returning from Kill
lington peak and had a narrow escape
from making a meal for the most fe-
rocious animal that roams the north
ern woods.
Weston had gone up the mountain
on snowshoes to visit an old hermit
and credits the circumstance that he
is still alive to the fact that he made
the descent on skis. The snow was
several feet deep and soft when the
trapper left, but three days later a
change in the weather caused heavy
crust to form. Being fond of skiing,
he borrowed the old mans runners and
strapping his snowshoes on his back
started home.
The skis used whereabouts are similar
20 those employed in Norway, except
that the thin blade, which looks like
a ten-foot barrel staye, is somewhat
wider and curls up at the front end.
There is a slipper in the center for
the foot, and when this is fastened
over the instep and ankle by means of
thongs a person may coast down an
incline at great speed A long pole
serves as a sort of rudder and when
skillfully handled a man used to skis
may guide himself along trees and
rocks with astonishing precision.
Attacked by a Fisher.
Weston left a point about a mile
below the cone of the mountain at I
p. m, and expected to be i'm the valley
by o'clock. At first he progressed
carefully, owing to the roughness Of

tored by the last inhabitants of the


pueblo.
In 1896 an adventurer who called
himself Col. Lacerda and claimed to
be a marquis and an officer of the
Brazilian army appeared in New Mex
leo at the head of a band of Brazilian
Sypsies, and astonished the territory
with a varied and spectacular per-
Torrance. He aVerred that he had
the clue to the treasure of Gran Qui-
vira, and with a few of his followers
he made a trip to Manzano plains
When he returned he was we'll sup
piled with gold, and he had old Span
ish coins sewed all over his gorgeous
raiment in place of buttons.
Col. Lacerda got himself into all
kinds of trouble, including a shooting
scrape with an American rancher,
whose daughter he tried to abduct in
melodramtic gypsy style, and after a
brief but lurid career in New Mexico
he vanished as suddenly and mysteri-
ously as he had appeared.
McAllister minated to friends in
New York just before he left that the
Brazilian had genuine documents re-
lating to the statement made by the
old Spanish soldier to the padre of
Valencia, and that Alvarado had be-
come acquainted with their contents.
If the treasure of Gran Quivira re-
mains where it was buried more than
two centuries ago, the two mining en-
gineers expect to get il, whether II
be a few thousands or seven millions.
