Hearst Oners Good Roads BIN.

washington, May =Representa-
tive Hearst of New York has intro
duced a bill appropriating $50. 900, 600
towards the building of good roads for
service and lessening the dependence
of the agricultural and industrial in
terests on railroads. The plan proposed
is that not more than 100000 of
the amount shall be expended in any
one year. When a country road is
built for a distance of ten miles or
more the government is to pay half
the cost.

STOLEN GOLD HIDDEN.

After the hold-up the six men sepa-
rated, going to different parts of the
country. Marks and the man who had
assisted him in burying the gold re-
NAMED in Cripple Creek together.
Each feared the other and they
watched each other like hawks to
guard against any attempt to obtain
the money. After two years had
elapsed Marks had become real
estate man and a lawyer. The other
man died a year after the hold-up.
The story of the hidden treasure is
told by mayor +. l.. Baldwin, of this
city, who obtained 1t from half-breed
Indian named Clark, while he was in
Cripple Greek in 1897. No living per-
son knew what had become of the
stolen $4,000 at the time Mayor Bald
win obtained the story but Clark.
The robbers had selected the year of
1897 to unearth the money and divide
It, They were all to meet in Cripple
Creek on May 25, when Marks and
the other man who knew the hiding
place we're to get the gold and there
was to be a division. None of the rob
bers arrived at the meeting point on
the day selected. Days passed into
weeks, and weeks into months, and
the train robbers did not arrive.
Marks was the only living man who
knew the hiding place and he knew
that none of the other men had OBJ
tanned the money. He felt that he
was being watched by the other four
men constantly and he lived In. con-
slant terror for months. He believed
that the other men must be dead. and
in October he decided that he would
go and get the fortune himself. He
needed someone to help him carry the
gold and he told his story to Clark,

DEVICES INTENDED TO MAKE
RAILROAD TRAVEL SAFER.
inventions Recently Patented by an
Indiana Man Which Are Hoped to
Do Away Entirely with Pres
ent Despatching System.

Indianapolis, Ind-Elmer E. Steiner,
of Knightstown, has just patented two
devices invented by him which he
hopes will prevent many railroad acct
dents and make travel on trains much
safer than it is at present.
Steiner's devices do away with the
present despatching system and put in
its stead an automatic system. He
worked for two years on his inven-
tons, and he thinks he has succeeded.
He says his system has the following
advantages:
1t does away with all possibility OF
rear or head-on collisions, as each
train crew knows at any time Just
where all the others are.
1t is security against any train run.
ming into an open switch, as the reg.
lister on each train shows whether the
switch be open or closed.
1t does away with telegraph opera
tors, thus saving millions in salaries
to the companies using it.
The system cannot go to sleep at
the instrument or the switch" and can
work "a hours a day without food
fatigue or pay.
Being purely mechanical, it Is infal-
lible. and cannot make a mistake or
"misinterpret ORDERS" and even If it
could disaster would be impossible
1t does away with the necessity Of
making stops for any purpose except
to take on or discharge passengers or
freight.
With the train reporting system"
said Steiner, "a railroad may be
equipped at regular intervals of any
distance desired with stations in the
track bed, each of these stations be-
Ing connected by circuits of electric
wires with the central Office When
ever train passes over one of the sta
lions 1t automatically registers the
number of the train and the number
of the station, so that the central
dispatcher can tell at any moment just
where any train is.
In addition, every switch on the

Sum Of $4,000 Taken from Express
Car in 1893 by Bandits Among
Rocks Near Cripple Creek
Secret Of Cache Lost.

Youngstown, O.-Somewhere along
the 100 miles of railroad which con-
meets Cripple Creek and Florence,
Colo, is cached a fortune in golden
eagles. Among the rocks and boulders
lies hidden $4,000 in gold, and IL is
very probable that II will never be
found unless some lucky hunter by
chance discovers the cache where is
hidden the fortune.
In the summer of 1893 the money
was taken from the safe of an express
car by six masked train robbers. All
of the robbers are now dead, and there
is nothing to mark the hiding place Of
their ill-gotten wealth The last of
the robbers was a man by the name
of Marks. On the day which he set to
unearth the treasure he died at his
Office in Cripple Creek from pneu-
monia. Marks and one other robber
were the only men who knew the hid
ing place of the money. They carried
Il in canvas bags into the hills along
the railroad tracks near the scene of
the hold-up and buried IL under the
rocks, while their four confederates
held the trainmen and express messen-
gers at bay with their rifles.
The robbers planned to allow the
money to remain hidden for several
years, so that there could be no chance
Of their being discovered in passing 1t.

either while the train is standing still
or moving and in the same manner
the crew can answer the orders. The
system is so arranged that each train
makes a constant circuit with the CEN
trail Office, and each train is constantly
in circuit with every other train on
the same division. Thus one train
crew can communicate with any other
crew, and the register on one train
will show just where every other train
on the road is at any given time. An
engineer can look at the register and

who was prospector at that time, re-
serving the important details and
simply giving general idea of the To-
cation of the hidden wealth.
A day was appointed. The men
were to meet at the cabin of Marks,
who lived alone, early one morning.
When the morning came with 1t came
light fall of snow. Marks feared that
they would be followed and could be
tracked in the snow. He would not
consent to take the chance. His limbs
quaked with terror when he seemed
so near to obtaining the fortune which
had been buried for four years. Clark
described his terror as most abject.
He thought that every man who looked
at him and was a stranger was one
OF his robber confederates in the
hold-up.
Another day was set when Marks
and Clark we're to go to the cache and
obtain the money. IL was destined
that the robber was not to reap the re-
ward of his four years vigil over the
treasure, for the night before the day
appointed when the money was to be
unearthed Marks was found in his
Office dead
Shortly after Marks death Clark
told the story to Mayor Baldwin, who
was at that time in Cripple Creek
established as an attorney and enjoy
ing the excitement of the early mining
camp. With the death of Marks also
passed away the secret OF the hiding
place of the money, for he left no
chart no papers of any kind by which
the fortune could be located, and the
gold stolen from the express safe IL
years ago still lies buried among the
hills along the Florence & Cripple
Creek railway.

tell lorg before he reaches 1t IL a
switch which the train Is approaching
is open or closed, and he knows at a
glance just how far ahead or behind
him is any other train, In whichever
direction it may be going.
The system would do away entirely
with telegraph operators at way sta
tions, so far as delivering and receiv-
ing orders are concerned. 1t would
even be possible for trains to run I'M
der this system without despatch
err, as each train would know at any
time where other trains were located.
This, OF course, would be impractical
BILE, as it would give free rein to train
crews to run too much at will.
Power for the system is furnished
by either storage batteries or dyna-
mos. Once installed the system would
be inexpensive, as the first cost would
be the greatest 1t is adaptable to
electric roads as we'll as to steam rail-
roads.
Steiner, who is a rural mail-carrier,
first began to think of his invention
two years ago when he heard railroad
men on a train discuss the problem OF
railroad accidents and their proven
ton. He then resolved to use his me-
chanical talent and ability in that d.
rection, and he hopes that he will soon
see the results of his labor in general
use.

SCENTS BURIED TREASURE.
Man Finds Mark Of Vessel That May
Have Held Gold.

Fort Worth, Tex.-While looking
over his pasture in Reed county Mr..
billiard, who lives near Thorp Springs,
was attracted by a mound of fresh
earth. Upon investigation it was dis
covered that hole had been dug and
at the bottom was the imprint of
some kind of a vessel that had been
removed.
The place is particularly marked,
the excavation being in the center of
four roughly hewn stones, set in a
square and sunk almost out of sight
in the earth. A short distance from
this square is another stone with a
Ratchet sketched on its surface, the
edge of the Ratchet blade pointing di-
rectly to the place where the excava-
ton was made.
Mr.. billiard says he had often no
ticed the stones, but supposed they
were simply an old landmark. The

Mrs. Maud Miller Nipple, whose

That person is the baby's mother"
Mrs. Nipple smiled.
