Texan Finds Pot of Gold.

FIT. Worth, Tex, April A spe-
cial to The Record from Mt. Pleas
ant, Tex, says that T. A. Ledbetter
has dug up a pot containing nearly
$4,000 in gold coin, 20 miles north Of
here. The coin is all United States
money except one or two pieces which
we're either Spanish or Mexican coin.
Years ago an old Indian stated that
some kind of treasure had been bur
led near where Ledbetter made his
find, and parties made a search for
it at that time, but were unable to
find anything and gave up the search.
Several trees near the place had In
dian marks on them. The money is
in good state of preservation.

same charge was returned against
the same individuals in 1908, at which
time the name of Mrs. Lorenz was
included, with the others. The pres
ent Indictment differs from the for,
mer only in the omission of the name

Florida JUDGE Is Acquitted.

Mariana, Fla, April 4-Judge Ben
jamin S. Liddon, against whom dis
barment proceedings were recently be-
gun in the court of Mariana, has been
declared not guilty on all counts in
an order issued by Judge G. B. Park
hill, who heard the case. It seems
that the charges were exceedingly
weak and of too diahphanous a texture
to hold. The evidence adduced at
the trial failed to support any one of
them. Friends of Judge Liddon de-
clare that the charges were made with
malicious intent, by persons who knew
they could not be substantiated. His
friends all over Florida are congratu-
lating him on his acquittal.

Petersburg Assume New Post.
New York, April 4.-Robert McCor-
mick, newly appointed American am
bassador to France, has arrived in Par
is from st. Petersburg, says he is sur
prised at the reports that there was
a desire to conclude peace at any
price manifested in official circles, ca
bles the Paris correspondent of The
Herald. According to Ambassador
Mccormick, no such desire exists in
st. Petersburg. On the contrary in
official circles there is, he said, a gen
eral desire to continue the war to the
bitter end, and there are great hopes
that Admiral Rojestvensky will meet
the Japanese feet and gain victory
which may in one day change the en-
tire aspect of the war. All the hopes
of Russia are now centered in that
fleet, and battle between that fleet
and the Japanese squadron is looked
for soon.
