FINDS IMMIGRANTS TREASURE
Owner of Old Farm Uncovers Can
Containing $4,000 in Gold.

Joe Prentice of Hebron, Neb., has
found a buried treasure. Prentice for
merly operated hardware store in Sa-
betha, Kan. Prentice traded the store to
John NJ. Evans, now a resident of Ohio,
and got among other things a farm near
Hebron, Neb. People laughed at Prentice
good deal because of the farm. When
Prentice got hold of the farm, Evans
told him the following story: a party
OF immigrants were travelling over the
country in the early days to seek their
fortune in the far West. One night near
the present site of Hebron. the party was
attacked by Indians. A man named Will
cox or Wilson was wounded. The In
dams were routed. The wounded man
was taken to Fort Kearny, and his broth
er was sent for. When the brother ar
rived the wounded man told him as nearly
as possible where he had buried more
than $1,000 during the night of the In
dian attack. The wounded man died, but
the brother could not unearth the gold.
Later the land where the money was sup
posed to be buried passed into the hands
of Evans" Evans tried but could not
locate the gold. Prentice paid no atten-
ton TO the story. Some time ago while
he was grading down the road near his
house he uncovered on a steep incline a
rusty can such as tomatoes and apples
are put up in. Opening the can Prentice
counted out $2136.50 in gold and silver.

was elected with a plurality of 10000
for John +. Smulski. Cook eounty fur
nishing $4,000. All the Republican State
candidates were successful, Smulski run
ming little behind Francis G. Blair for
superintendent of instruction. who has
a plurality of 10000, according to 6rst
returns-the largest Republican plurality
ever given in an off year election, with
one exception. A total of $4,000 votes
were cast throughout the State-the
smallest vote cast in State election in
fourteen years, and 251 200 les, than in
the presidential election of Nov. 8, 1904.
The Republican plurality of 125,0O0
shows falling off as compared with the
extraordinary plurality of $4,000 given
Gov. Deneen two years ago. Congression-
ally the Democrats have gained back
some of the districts which this Roose-
welt vote took from them. Congressman
Henry I. Rainey. the only Illinois Dem.
ocrat in the Fifty-ninth Congress. was
reelected. Ben +. Caldwell, the Demo
crat defeated two years ago by Zeno
Riyes. the young Republican of Litch-
field, defeated Rives in turn. In the

Murdered I'm Night.

One woman is dead, a man in a hos
pital suffering from severe burns, 1000
persons fed from their homes in panic
and thousands more passed sleepless
night as Il result of q series of incen-
diary fires in the two blocks bounded by
Sixtieth and Sixty-firsy streets and Co
lumbus and West End avenues, in New
York. Scores of persons whose lives were
endangered by the fire were rescued by
firemen. In all there were five fires, every
one of them incendiary. between midnight
and 3 O'Clock in the morning. The woman
who lost her life was Mrs. Caroline
Swain, 40 years old. She lived at 107
West Sixtieth street, adjoining one of the
buildings which were fired. She died of
heart failure, induced by fright. Adrian
Tompkins is in hospital with his hands
and feet severely burned as result of
climbing down a red-hot fire escape. He
is in a serious condition. Frank Norris
of Boston, a vaudeville performer, was
arrested on suspicion of setting the fires
The police allege that in each of the fires
tenants reported that when they fed
from their apartments Norris was the
first person they met.

BANK ROBBED IN DAYLIGHT.
Institution at Ladd ILL.,, Looted Of
Sum Estimated at $1,000.

The Farmers and Miners Bank at
Ladd.. ILL.,. a small mining town, was
robbed of $1,000 by two men at 2 o'clock
the other afternoon. Martin Gearing. the
cashier, was away at a funeral, his assist
ant, a clerk named James Hurley. was
alone in the bank. Two strangers entered
and asked for some change. While Hur-
ley was making the change one OF the
men covered him with a revolver and the
other jumped over the counter and over
powered him. The robbers marched Hur-
ley to back room, where they bound him
hand and foot and gagged him. The
robbers then helped themselves to cash
and escaped. They left $3.50 in gold, be-
sides a quantity of silver. on the bank
counter, and disturbed little in the vault.
The amount of their booty was about
$1,000 as near as the bank officers we're
able to estimate the loss. After the men
left the bank it was twenty minutes be-
fore the alarm was given. The two rob-
bers turned up at Peru several hours
later, and were recognized. An attempt
was made to arrest them. but they held
back the town officials with drawn revol-
vers, stole a horse and buggy from the
street, and drove out OF town on
allop

Values of foodstuffs in the prjmary
markets have also been affected, but
these are mainly slightly lower and
harmonic more closely with the album

a seasonable expansion, and, although
the jobbing branches show more quiet,

goods and footwear for Western points.
Interior advices denote sales of mer-
chandise thus far equal to expectations

improving with colder weather. Mer-'
camille collections throughout most of
the tributary region are prompt, and
it is encouraging that defaults make

WISCONSIN,.

Gov. Davidson, with the Republican
State ticket, was elected in Wisconsin.
The Governors plurality is upward of
10000, and the remainder of the State
ticket but little behind, this on one of
the lishtest votes ever cast. From the
returns it is apparent that not much over
a two-thirds vote was cast. The apa-
thetic conditions noted before the election
were too pronounced to be overcome BY
the State central committees. The returns
from the legislative districts indicate the
Republicans will have about the same
number in each house as they have had
for the past six years, which gives them
an overwhelming majority. In Milwau-
kee District Attorney McGovern was re-
elected by little more than 100 plural
ity. This was the most bitterly fought
contest in the State. McGovern was de
feated for the Republican nomination at
the primaries and ran as an independent
against Boden. his successful competitor
The surprising thing in the contest was
the strength shown by the Social Demo
cratic candidate Thiel, and until the final
figures were received it looked as though
he had won. Complete returns for Mil
waukee gave Thil 1926; McGovsrn.

MISSOURI.

Returns show that the Democrats have
regained Missouri. 1t is only a question
ri how big the majority is, and it seems
certain that it will not fall far short Of
10000. The Democrats elected twelve of
the sixteen Congressman, thereby regain
ing seven of the districts they lost in
the landslide two years ago. st. Louis
has gone Republican by small majority.
The Republicans elected two Congressman
from ST. Louis and fifteen of the nine
teen candidates in the legislative districts.

INDIANA.

The Republicans carried Indiana. but
by majority greatly reduced from that
of two years ago, when the State gave
Prenident Roosevelt a plurality of $4,000.
The congressional districts show CORE
spending falling off in the vote, with the
Democrats making such marked gains in
some districts that Republican suprem-
acy is jeopardized. In the Eleventh Dis
trict, which Fred Lands carried two
years ago by 5000 majority, and in the
Eighth, which George w. Cromer car
'ried by 1000 votes, there were losses.
Wabash county. in the Eleventh, gave a
Democratic majority for the first time in
its history, and Miami also went against
Lands. The Republicans have carried the
Legislature OH joint ballot and will con-
troll both branches, though their majority
will be greatly reduced. The issue in
the legislative contests was over temper
ance laws, the saloonkeepers and brewery
clements generally supporting the Demo
cratic candidates.

him down with power that was irresist-

and Petro Amazio, a fellow-worker, went
to his assistance. He threw a rope to
Dolan, which the latter seized so desper-

fifth United States infantry, colored. At
the same time he ordered an investiga-
ton. which may lead to the court martial
of Col. w. L. Pitcher of the Twenty-sev-
enth infantry for casting a slur upon
negro troops. This action, unprecedented
in the history of the army, Is the result
of the disgraceful affair at Brownsville,
Texas, on the night of Aug. - last, when
some drunken soldiers of the battalion
fired into the residences of citizens. kill
ing one man and seriously wounding an
other. IN the investigation which follow
ed all the soldiers of the battalion united
in shielding their guilty companions and
refused to reveal their names. Brig. Gen.
Z. II. Darlington, inspector general Of the
army, recon- .nended the dismissal of all
the men in the battalion.
