HUNTERS SEARCH
 FOR TREASURE

peated so frequently that they also half believed it's truth. It was their purpose to establish a mission and a monastery on the spot where the treasure would be found, giving to the mission the name of the legend, Tres Piedras.
 Michael Ryan is now an old man. and he interested the men who are with him by reciting to them the tale which he had heard so often among the Mexicans. He has lived in the west all his life, and as a child played with the Mexican children, learning their language, which he speaks fluently. All his life he has been familiar with the many Mexican legends. but like So many others paid but little heed to them, and probably he would not now be searching for the Tres Piedras had it not been for an incident few years ago which caused him to take up the trail of the lost expedition.
 It was while traveIlng overland through eastern New Mexico that Ryan's horses strayed from the camp one night and he was compelled to search for them on foot. Finally af-
 
 down upon a stone to rest, and then he observed that the rocks in that spot formed an indistinct letter "V." Immediately he recalled the legend he had heard among the Mexicans aud his curiosity was aroused. He began an investigation, finding as :lis le- gend stated on the bottom of the stone at the point of the letter the symbol ''V'' deeply chiseled thereon
 This was a point beyond where the priests had lost the trail and Ryan marked it carefully, intending to re turn and take up the work vi ere it had been abandoned by the Catholics. He did return soon afterward and made prolonged search, but in vain Year after year he has returned after interesting new parties in the legend and getting them to grub-stake hiGl for another search. Losing the trail he would give up for a while only to return later with fresh supplies to re- new his efforts
 The present search followed anotii- CT find by Ryan while on his last trip through this locality. Near the old Santa Fe trail in Beaver county. Ryan came upon a large mound where loIh5 tue cH the underside of one of them appeared the symbol indistinctly chiseleG. and following the direction indicated, within a quarter of mile he came up on another triangle, with the symbol pointing toward the direction from which he had come He searched the land in that locality for days and f. nally came upon another symbol, which with the other two made a tri- angle with the points about oue Gusr- ter of mile distant
 As the ''V" on each rock pointed toward the center of this triangle and believing that this indicated the ter imitation of the search Ryan com menced digging in the center of, the triangle. The aged Irishman claimed he found adobe bricks while making the excavation, certainly the handi. work of man, but he has as yet never found the treasure. Running out of supplies he again secured assistance from the men who are with him now and the work on the mesa between the two rivers is being pushed with yigor. Ryan and the men with him fully believe that somewhere on that mesa within the boundaries marked by the three "V'' rocks lies buried the Tres Piedras treasure.

BAILEY LASHES
 HIS ENEMIES

By vote of 70 to 42 Senator Jo- seph w. Bailey was exonerated by the lower house of the Texas legisla- ture of any charges of irregular acts in public life as alleged by Represen- tative Cooke on January 14. There were two minority reports, one by Robertson of Travis county, and one by Jenkins, the latter holding that the evidence showed Bailey had received money as fees from Pierce. The evidence was not considered by the house,
 This action concludes six weeks of investigation that has caused Senator Baileys constant presence in Aus tin. On Monday by vote of Is to III the senate exonerated Mir. Bailey without waiting to hear the report of the Investigating committee. The house last night acted on recommen- dation of a majority of the committee for complete exoneration without submission of the evidence. Bailey's opponents pleaded to have the evi- dence submitted before being asked to vote, but the Bailey forces, slight ly in the majority, forced a vote.
 Senator Bailey appeared before the house after his exoneration. He strongly criticized the element start ing the investigation and explained in emphatic language his opinion of the whole proceeding.
 Senator Bailey left at once for Washington where he was sworn in as senator today.
 Wants Another Term.
 Senator Bailey, while bitterly criti- cising his opponents, declared he was going to continue as United States senator from Texas for at least three terms.
 The conspirators have been given a wholesome lesson" he said. Never again will they attempt it within this generation. Never again will they wear the honors Of Texas democracy in their lives. Such men would be- tray republic if Hessians were for

hire. The leader of the contest was man who has gambled with negroes and if he attempts to deny it I will prove it on him. One of them was convicted of embezzlement and yet he is here drawing his cloak around him saying tha- he cannot keep the democratic commandments.
 They have lied about me. Their master is Hearst, who led this fight against Texas. The leader in this fight is the man who had this tele- gram published lying on the legisla- ture, claiming that corrupted it by wine women and song. Hearst has his emissaries and agents in the Tex. as legislature today. This Hearst eliminate men like me and John Sharp Williams and place men like John Duncan to the front.
 How many of these men were like Hawkins, who risked his office on his conviction and lost it? If these others had had the conviction and courage of Hawkins there would not have been a single vote against my vindi- cation today.
 They seek to destroy my usefulness but thank God l am too far above them for them to hurt. Not a sen tence in the whole record reflects against my personal or political in- tegrity.
 "Out of the forty men who voted against my exoneration, not more than four will be here nexn session. Not one-half of them will be in the democratic ranks. They will return to the populist party, where they be- long. l will never rest until I see the election laws so fixed that no man can have his name put on the ticket as a candidate for the legislature un- til he records a solemn oath that he will respect the peoples instructions.
 This legislature ought not to ad- journ until section 124 Is so amended that no man shall hold the peoples offices until they shall swear to sup port the peoples nominee"

QCHlLTREE. Texas, March IA search for lost treasure has been re newed in the Panhandle country, ex- tending northward into Oklahoma and westward into New Mexico, as a re vival of the Tres Piedras legend, which for several generations has been handed down from father to son in this portion of the west Although the people of this locality are becom- ing accustomed to strangers appear ing in their midst with blue prints and maps, also shovels and picks, yet the presence of party of men who are busily engaged in the search has caused general excitement and com ment throughout the COW country.
 The Panhandle and 'sNo Mans Land" were in the path of the pio- neers who went to California in 1S49, and also of those bands of travellers, freebooters and soldiers of fortune who sought for Spanish fortune in both old and New Mexico. Beneath the surface, according to the legends handed down through generations, are hidden immense treasure stores. Many have been the searchers who believed that they were the ones for tunate at last in solving the hidden places of wealth. Old Spanish treas ure is more sought for by these searchers, probably because the rich es alleged to have been concealed by the men who plundered the Spanish are supposed to be of greater value.
 During the past week an officer of Beaver county, while on the trail ot cattle rustlers along the New Mexi. can border, came upon party of searchers busily engaged in digging and exploring all the country in that locality When he came up with them they were on the mesa between the Cimarron and Corrumpa rivers, and at one place the officer came up- on an excavation of considerable size, evidently the work of the sealching party. lie investigated the excavation closely and satisfied himself that it had been an unsuccessful search at that point.
 With the searching party is an aged 'Irishman, Michael Ryan, who has given the details of the Tres Pied ras legend, the relating of which tale caused the present searchers to abandon their homes and other work with the hope of becoming suddenly and immensely wealthy. The story
 
 favorites among the Mexicans who have resided all their lives in this portion of the southwest. Among them it is known as the lost treasure of the Tres Piedras, being a vast quantity of gold that was secreted by Spanish expedition in the early part of the nineteenth century.
 The trail of this expedition was marked by huge stones, irreguiarly placed at some distance apart, but forming a symbol resembling a gi- gantic letter "" Chiseled on the un- der surface of each rock at the point of this "V" would be found the sym bol ''V." and the whole symbol mark ed the direction in which the next marks of the trail would be found. These symbols were from five to ten miles apart, located in many places eastward from Santa Fe and Las ye- gas.
 Several years ago priests of the Catholic church employed guides and followed the trail te within thirty miles of Clayton, New Mexico, where it was lost and further search was then abandoned. The Catholic mis- sionaries among the Mexicans and Indians had heard the legend re-
