Whether any additional cases of haz-
ing have been established against any
midshipr1en by the board Of investi-
cation detailed by Admiral Sands. the
authorities will not disclose as the re-
port to be submitted after the board
adjourns will cover this question.
II is admitted. however. that the testi-

before the board clearly shows that haz-

the new class entered the institution
last June. Asked whether the investi-

Gold.
SAVED EIGHT THOUSAND

CHICAGO Dec 23.-FeGring that rob-
bers may ind the hidden treasure left
by her husband who died two DAYS ago,
Mrs. Andrew Mattson. sixty-two years
old. is keeping an anxious vigil ~ her
weather beaten cabin on The shore Of
Lake Michigan at the foot of 103d street
Mattson is supposed TO have saved
$500. which he hid SO securely that even
his wife knew nothing OF the place OF
concealment. She fears that ATattson
may have betrayed his secret 10 some
companion.
Mrs. Mattson yesterday asked three OF
her husbands friends TO assist her in
guarding the shack and its surround-
1ngs until the hidden treasure can be
found. These men. with Mrs. Mattson's
only son. started to patrol the beach
near the house last evening They alza
10 keep searakers away. The widows
fears are all the greater because ha9
husband was a drinking man and talked
to his friends about his money Soma
time ago an acquaintance threatened to
show where the treasure was hidden.
Keeps Seclet From AL
Mattson was called miser Before
his death his wife begged him to tell
where he had buried his little fortune,
but he was deaf to her entreaties- Hs
also guarded his secret from all his
relatives. Up TO the time OF his death
he insisted that he would not die and
that il was useless te tell where ne had
hidden his wealth Before he lost con-
sciousness in the hospital his wife fore
saw her poverty and explained to the
miser fisherman the necessity OF dis
closing the location of the treasure.
You are going TO die. she told him,
and 1 need the money to bury you
with
Mattson was firm in his belief that
death could not overtake him and hs
withheld his secret until IL was too
late. At the last he made a feeble ef-
fort TO grant his wife's request. The
words were unintelligible and the widow
was left without a penny. while sS.-
600 of the mans savings are believed
10 lie IN Some hiding place
Fisherman and Stone MasoE.
In the winter when there was littis
fishing Mattson worked as a stone ma
son. earning good wages. He spent
little except a few nickeis for beer A
few months ago he received $500 from
the Pennsylvania railroad in settlement
for injuries which he suffered when
struck by a train near his cabin He
boarded all his money and sometimes
carried II about IN a leather bag.
He came To South Chicago fifteen
years ago and built a hut on the lake
shore. He never paid any rent and his
living cost practically nothing. He had
his own garden and kept his own
chickens. The cottage shows his strange
miserly handiwork-

Now that IL is assured that Robert NJ.

While Constable F. P. LLAMA, OF

charged one cartridge, the bullet enter

inches to the front, inflicting only a
flesh wound. Before entering the stom-

Method BY Which Pea Vine Hay Can
Be Saved Successfully.

Editor Gazette:
How can peavine hay be cured so as
to prevent the leaves from falling off ?
G. W. KNIGHT, Laurel, Miss.
Rake into windrows as soon as wilted
and bunch with forks, putting into very
small piles. If weather is favorable,
these small cocks will cure out bright
without loss of leaves. If there is any
considerable quantity of pea hay to be
saved, think the best treatment is to
cut and let the hay lie as it falls from
the mower until cured; then rake and
haul Immediately. If a rain falls it will
not spoil the hay. 1t viii turn dark and
will lose some of the leaves, but will
still be good feed. Remember not to
rake until ready to haul.
