sscasr OF cocos ISLAND.
An English Admiral Who Believed In
the Stories Of Buried Treasure.

Admiral II. St L. p. Palliser died
suddenly at his country house in Chi
chester. England, recently. He served
in the Baltic and Black sea during the
Crimean war. and IN command of a
squadron watched British interests
throughout the Carlist war in 1871. He
was the commander In chief OF the Pa
cific squadron from 1896 10 1899.
II vas during his command In the
Pacific that Admiral Palliser came in
10 possession OF what he thought to
be the secret OF the buried treasures
OF the famous Cocos island and on
board her maiesty's ship Imperieuse

millions. The late Admiral received

when the latter was on his death-bed
and was so impressed by It that de-
spite all failures he remained a f,rm
believer In the existence of the treas

The story OF the Cocos island treas
ures Is one OF the most roplantic and
thrilling character. One vast hoard
OF valuables is supposed to have been
deposited on the island. which lies 500
miles southwest of Panama. by Brit
ish ship which had turned pirate in
1921 The second and more valuable
treasure was buried there by the crew
OF the barkentine Mary DER about
1885. This hoard was supposed TO be
the bullion and jewels OF the Peruvian
town of Callalo, which was threatened
with revolution and pillage. The ma.
tional treasure was put on board tho
British ship for safety. but the crew
betrayed their trust and fed with the
rich cargo. The value OF the two
treasures is supposed to be many mill
lions.
At least $4,000 worth OF valuablcs
were taken from the island by a man
called keaion. This man died and be.

A sort of a family reunion is be-
ing held at the G. z. Pritchard
home in this village. Three sisters
of Mrs. C. O. Tyler arrived here
the first of the week for a several
weeks visit with the old lady. Mrs.
Tyler is Mrs. Pritchard's mother
and she and her husband live with
the Pritchard family. The visiting
sisters are Mrs. Lucy Salisbury of
Minneapolis, Mrs. Jane Morris of
Richmond, Ill. and Mrs. Hattie
Ripple Of River Falls, Wis. Be-
cause Of the age of those partici-
pating this is a rather remarkable
family reunion. The youngest of
the sisters, Mrs. Salisbury, is 76
years of age and the eldest, Mrs.
Ripple, is 80. Mrs. Tyler is 80 and
Mrs. Morris 70. With the excep-
ton of Mrs. Tyler, all are widows
and, age considered, all are enjoy
ing exceptionally good health. The
three visiting sisters made the trip
here unaccompanied. -Kerkhoven
