treasure hunters excavate the high

when 1t ecOmeS Known that Pat Grove
buried $1,000 of the money secured
from r. A. Cudahy beneath a house in
that town?
to have been written by Grove are to
be relied upon, a small fortune lies
hidden beneath the clods. Tie letter
was received from Grove last July by
a Council Bluffs cigar merchant and a
former employer of the famous kid
naper. The information was impaired
in confidence, and until Groves arrest
nothing was said concerning it. To-
day the cigar merchant made known
the story.
In July Grove spent a week here and
was often in company of his old en-
ployer. Failing in an appointment, he
sent the following letter by special
messenger to his friend July 10:
II could not come as 1 had agreed
as l had to GO to South Omaha. 1
AVE a few thousands buried out there
and want to dig it up and turn it
over to the Omaha police and get out
of my trouble. The place where the
coin is planted has changed hands and
/ cannot get it unless 1 make a pay
ment on a little dairy and get the pres
ent party out of the house. | have
about $1,000 there, so 1 CUES 1t is
worth while to look after It,"
The letter ''F'' is all the signature
which the note bears. Grove was then
being persuaded to give himself up to
the Council Bluffs police, but he con-
cluded to surrender at some point more
distant.
Whether he ever secured the buried
treasure defined in the note no one
has ever learned.
