Is that New Mexico has twice as

Webster City, Iowa, March 11.-Hoary-
haired, bent with age and believing
that ne had but a short time to live,
tWenty-nine.acre farm, two miles east
Of Woodbine, called in his neighbors,
Charles Davis and w. G. Williams, and
directed them to dig in certain spot
on his land near Picayune creek. To
their surprise, they found a can filled
with gold coins, amounting to $2,78O.
This amount, with other money and
his land,. has been bequeathed to three
persons in a will which was made by
ing a stroke Of paralysis. Mr.. Monroe
declares he has $4,000 in gold buried
in lot in Omaha and search for it
will be made immediately.
Monroe, who is about IS, has been
known for years as a cynic, woman.
hater and miser, and the reverses and
vicissitudes, of his earlier life, which
are said to have made him such, are in.
teresting.
When the western gold fever was on
he. was among the many who went to
Colorado. There he made a small for.
tune in short time and decided to
settle down on a farm. In the mean.
time he met a woman and they were
to have been married, but before the
W y, ddg day she is said to have secured
$4,000 in gold from him and disap
peared., He had but 5000 left, with
which he, came to. this vicinity, dis
gusted with womanhood and the worlG
in general. In Council Bluffs he ex
changed his 5000 in gold for $1,4OC
in greenbacks, and with these purchased
the land upon which he still resides.
he settled all alone upon this lanC
and worked diligently, saving every
converting it into gold. He seemed tx
pc a crank on gold and could rarely
be persuaded to accept paper money.
It is thought he cannot live long
and he has ordered a $4,000 monument
to be placed over his grave. He saw
he has no blood relatives and all tn,
money over the amount set aside 70,
his burial expenses has been bequeathet
to the daughters of the woman VIII
cared for him until he was a man.
When the money was dug up. MI
Monroe added to it a $40 Gold p' piec a
which ne had in his pocket, and in

executor Of his. estate, to place tn
amount in bank. j
