surgeons. drivers and horses, worn
down by the terrible heat and the
strain Of incessant work, were com
pletely exhausted. The horses gave

necessary to press patrol wagons into

to announce that no more sufferers

STRANGER SEEKS
HIDDEN WEALTH
FROM INDIANAn
DIGS UP MINNESOTA FARM.
Haunted House at Byronville the Scene
Of the Operations Expected
to Find $4,000 Which, by the Theory
Of an Old Resident, May Have Been
Cached in EARLY Days by Thieves.

Special to The Journal. /.r EIl s- II. "g
New Richland, Mimi, June 2o-The neighbor-
hood a few miles northwest of this place known
as Byronville is wrought up over the mysterious
visit last week of stranger who gave his place
of residence Indiana While this Is not the
mans first visit, his quest not known
until now. He went to the home of h. Heckes.
a farmer near Byronville, seeking board and lodg-
ing for few days and saking permission to dig
for treasure which he asserted was hidden near
a vacant house upon one of Mr. Heckes' farms.
To this particular house Is attached legend
in which hobgoblins and mysterious spirits play
a prominent part. With these unnatural beings
tie stranger pretended to be in close commune
cation. Mr.. Heckes being Of genial and hospita:
BILE disposition and at the same time not given
to taking any stock in uncanny tales Of evil
spirits, readily took the stranger in, and not
only granted him the hospitality Of the home
but accompanied him while the search for the
l'suDpcsed hidden treasure WAS being made.
After making peculiar signs. and gestures as
tho talking in blind language to some unseen
parsonage, the Indianan began digging with all
his might. Previously he had admonished Mr..
Heckes not to utter word while the work was
being done lest the spirits should not direct the
work. The silent work continued for half day
at time and hole after hols was dug within a
| radius Of few rods, but nothing that resembled
a treasure was unearthed. Several days were
| spent in making the search, but with no differ.
ent results and the fellow finally gave it up in
despair, declaring that someone had superseded
him, else the spirits would certainly have direct
| ed him to that which he sought.
The man appeared well bred and intelligent
He was well dressed, seemed to have plenty Of
I money and showed a railroad pass. Aside from
his spiritualistic proclivities there was nothina
strange about his manner. He said he was 8
