ebbing away distinguished reader Of
the Koran Is summoned to recite aloud
Its chnpteT OH the resurrection, SO that
the spirit or the person, on hearing II,

hammednn believes TINT the vital prin
cirlcs Of the whole system are conceu
tratcd in the hend, when death Is the
result. The watchers at the bedside
also read some passages, and then
drink of sherbct is given to the pa.
tient to lessen the pangs OF death. As
! soon ms the spark of life has fled, the
two great toes are tied together with
thin strip Of cloth. tho mouth ia
closed, and incense Is burned near tho
body.
The !Metment follows few hours
after death. The washers" are men
and women who wash and shroud the
body and dig n hole In the earth to
hold the water. so that 1t cannot spread
very much. as 1t is considered unlucky
to tread OIL this water. The washing Is
a great ceremony. and when finished
the body Is ahrouded with even moro
ceremony. RI there is n widow of tho
deceased, she returns tho dowry her
| husband had given her. If the deceas-
eds mother Is present, she says, "The
milk with which l sucked thee freely
bestow upon thee" Thus she resigns
the debt of the deceased to her. When

Has ]. H, Anderson, OF Monument,
gotten away with $1,000 in gold
which for AZ years has been buried
on the Wilson place, tormeriy the
"Skeedaddle' smith ranch,) near Pilot
Rock? From indications the buried
treasure has been found by Mr.. An
ders1n. and for several days past the
subject has been the topic of interest
in that neighborhood.
The story of the hidden gold on
Birch creek is one that has been
handed down for nearly half a CEN
tury and many are the attempts that
have been made to find 1t. According
to the legend $1,000 in gold dust and
coin was buried in an iron box oy
man who lived on the place in 1864.
He told no one of the affair until he
was on his death bed, when he said
he had buried that amount on the
place where he had lived. But as he
had lived on different places while
there, 1t was not known which ranch
he referred to. Consequently all ef-
forts to find the money were fruitless.
However. j. II. Anderson, store
keeper of Monument, who arrived In
the rieighborhood last week had more
success than former searchers. He
had learned Of the buried treasure
from what has proven good source.
On arriving on Birch creek he found
the location of the old house on the
Wilson place from Marion Smith, who
had formerly lived on the ranch.
The house had stood near the creek.
at the point where the old immigrant
road crosses that stream. 1t has been
gone for 20 years or more, but de-
preston in the ground showed where
the cellar had been. 1t was there that
Anderson dug, and three holes show
that IN his case the third was the

Owing to the failure of the Alba
box, the complete returns from Una
tilla county cannot be had yet, and
will not be available until tomorrow.
In sending in their returns, half or
more of the 40 precincts in the county
locked the tally sheets inside the bal
lot boxes, contrary to law. This being
the case the results cannot be known
until the boxes are opened, which
cannot be done until all are in. Con-
sequently, Alba has blocked proceed
ings completely by failing to send in
their returns.
Evidently the Alba election board
regarded the primary election as 4
matter of their own concern, entirely

this morning, County Clerk Sailing
called A. S. QUAINT, one of the judges
by phone, and asked concerning the

box was still there, but that one o.
the judges was thinking of coming t
town tomorrow. Later in the day h,
was told a man had started with tn,
box and would arrive about o'clocl
tonight.
