well as the resulting loss of the gold.

with the four bags of gold in their pos

Keeper of Gold Killed.
Hardly had they left the stockade
when a well-planned attack was made
and after the repulse many of the
brave defenders of the fort were
found dead in their tracks The bat
ties and skirmishes were kept UP for
many days and at the conclusion of
the hardest fighting an expedition was
sent out in search of the four men
to whom had been entrusted the bags
of gold. After three or four days of
strict search the bodies of the men
were found. stark and dead
Not the smallest suggestion of the
whereabouts of the gold could be
found about the place where the men
had lost their lives in the defense of
their trust, but after a thorough
search one of the members of the
party was rewarded by finding a scrap
of paper near the body of one of the
men known as Mercierre. Upon this
scrap of paper was scrawled the intel
ligence that the money had been bur
led on the highest of the bluffs across
from the place where they were found.
It is supposed that the poor fellow,
upon finding that his minutes were
numbered. hastily wrote the few words
on the bit of paper, and, throwing it
into the bushes in the hope that his
comrades would find it. he bravely met
his death.
At the close of the hardest of the
fighting, parties were sent out in
search of the money but the four
bags were never found. The men had
evidently fulfilled their trust careful
ly, and as a result they buried their
money so well that not the slightest
sign of disturbance of the soil could
be found at any place about the bluff.
Hundreds Have Searched.
Hundreds of people have worked by
the day in an effort TO locate a trace
of the thousands of dollars buried in
the lonely bluff. but all efforts have
been unavailing and the gold yet lies
where it was buried by the brave fell
lows who took their lives in their
hands to protect the earnings of their
fellow soldiers.
Today the great mass Of gold would
be more valuable than its face, for the
reason that a premium has been of
fered. yet the premium has only in
creased the desire for its discovery
without practical result. II will be re-
main in its hiding place until some
farmer turns il up. when Zachary Tay-
lor and his band of men will again be
brought to the eye of the admiring
public.

RAILROAD NOTES
No Flirting on the Alton.

The Chicago d Alton officials have
placed a ban upon Irritation by their
employees with lady patrons. Not that
there has been anything of a radical
nature in the way of Irritation of late,
but because there have never been any
rules or regulations which would warn
employees against annoying women.
The attention of the employees was re-
Gently called to a case where a lady
made complaint against a fiagman.
The complaint was investigated and
this week his dismissal followed, it be-
ing found that he was entirely too gal
liant and made himself a nuisance.
While there will be no formal order
issued concerning the annoyance of
this kind yet the intimation is given
by the officials that any one caught
flirting with passengers will be dis
missed. Every man is required to be
gentlemanly and courteous at all
times, but he must not make himself
to patrons.

PUPILS SCORE HIT IN
PLAY OF ESMERALDA
High School Assembly Hall Taxed to
Limit at Last Evenings Per-
Torrance.

The play, "Esmeralda,' which was
presented by the school senior class
last evening at the high school build
ing, proved a delight to an audience
that taxed the assembly hall to the
limit.
"Esmeralda" is played in four acts,
its story being prettily woven around
the two love plots running through it,
1t has no thrilling or sensational mo-
ments, but is quiet and interesting
drama.
The 10 members who took part in
the play represented the characters in
a very creditable manner. The schol-
ars having the leading parts-Miss
Lucy Brennan, in the role of Esmer-
aida; Miss Sadie Rosenberg, repre-
senting Lydia Ann Rogers, and Theo-
dore Eichelsdorfer. "Old Man" Rog-
ers-were very good and filled their
parts in a manner that would have
been creditable to persons more
experienced in stage work. Walter
