Fairfield, Sept. 4.-(specia)-The
odd Settlers park of Jefferson county,
with the historic Bonnifield log house
as it's central feature, is an assured
fact. Sometime ago w. B. Bonnifield
of Ottumwa came to Fairfield and in
connection with a committee Of the
Old Settlers association selected q
site for the beginning of the parry This
site for the beginning Of the park This
the water works. is owned by the heirs
of the William Austin estate and an
option has been secured from the two
heirs, residing at Fairfield. while. the
third heir, who resides in California,
has been communicated with and his
consent to the option is expected at
any time.
A prominent official of the associa.
ton stated last night that there was
no doubt but that this option would be
secured and but very little doubt but
that the site would later be purchased
and the cabin set up in its pristine
state on the ground thus obtained.
Then the original idea of a park in
which will be preserved as near as
possible all of the forms of trees, flow
ers and grass native to Jefferson coun,
ty will be carried out. But the plans
of the men whose hearts are given to
the establishment of this park do not

maintained by money received by pri-
vate subscription and the state funds.
The logs of the old building were
not set up at the Old Settlers reunion
in session yesterday and today. as had
been hoped, as no permanent location
was secured so as ito make such a step
practical. But with the $500 donated
by Mr. Bonnitleld as a beginning and
the enthusiasm displayed by nearly ev-
cry old settler in the county as NOV
ing power, there remains hardly the
least shadow of a doubt but that soon
the necessary $4,000 to purchase the
eleven acres mentioned and to set up
the cabin will be raised, and then a
nucleus will be formed for the Iowa
State Old Settlers Historical park Of
Jefferson county, which is t.. come.
Interest In Hured Treasure Flags.
The interest In the secreted Indian
treasure, supposed to have been buried
on the ground on which this historic
house was built, has abated almost en-
tirely. When the old cabin was moved
from Its original site near Glendale to
Fairfield several weeks ago, after it
was torn down, an old pocket hook,
supposed to have been lodged within
its walls, was found, giving map
showing the location Of the buried
gold. Though quite thorough search

this time can add to your honors. We
simply wish to testify our appreciation
of your character and attachments, and
let you know that your homecoming
is matter in which we are all inter-
ested.'
Glad to Get Home.
AS Governor Mickey concluded and
Bryan arose, there was cheering and
