Whole Village Hunts
For Buried Treasure

LONDON, May D. 1907.
EAR Ashborne, Derbyshre. the novel
IN spectacle is now to be witnessed Of
practically the entire population of a
village engaged in a hunt for buried
treasure. The village in question is Bradley,
and for a fortnight or more-or since
highly Interesting discovery was made in
the neighborhood- ordinary occupations
and pastlmes of the inhabitants have been
almost completely neglected. All and sun
dry have been engaged in digging for the
prinCely loot" which supposedly Is hidden

Bradley Hail. which Jared badly when
Cromwel's Ironsdes swept the midlands,
but was restored when Charles II came to
the throne, played prominent part during
the invasion of Derbyshire by Prince
Charles in 1745. 1t is from this period that
the story of hidden wealth dates.
When the young pretender was at Derby
there happened to reside in Bradley a
Scotch minister who had strong leanngs
toward the Stuart cause. This gentleman
dispatched messenger to the prince invit
ing him to come to Bradley. where money
and valuables could be obtained.
SO good did Prince Charles consider this
prospect of replenishng his empty pocket
book that he did pay visit to the town
After day Of plumber and a night Of
carousal the army left in hurry upon the
news of the approach of Cumberland and
his troops.
1t would seem that the whole truth OF
the story of buried wealth rests on this
story of sudden departure. The highland
ers had piled their pilferngs in a heap in
one of the cellars of Bradley Hall. Did
they have time to remove 1t In their haste
to escape from the pursuing enemy? The
town folk of Bradley answer the question
in the negative.
Already the work of the villagers has
laid bare a considerable portion of the
old hall. Beautifully fashioned windows. a
portion of the courtyard with its cobble-
stone pavement and stone supports with
odd mountings have come to light. Stone
steps leading to the cellars which may con-
tain the sought-for treasures have been
uncovered and the general excitement has
just been increased by the discovery Of
what may be the secret underground pas
sage which occupies so large niche In the
folklore and tradition of the country town.

VENICE

One of the most unique of recent So
ciety affairs was the open air plunge
bathing function Friday evening. The
affair was under the patronage of Mes
danes Abbott Kinney, M. M. Merry and
G. w. Randall and was a decided sue
cess. Los Angeles society people were
largely represented among the jolly
throng of bathers. The functions will
henceforth be regular affairs on the local
society calendar
Tuesday evenings society ball at the
dancing pavilion was as highly success
full as the similar functions that have
preceded it recently. The affair was un-
der the patronage of Mesdames Abbot
Kinney, H. c. Burmster and Hurlbert
Fuller.
The Monday Afternoon Card club met
Monday at the ship hotel, where the
game of five hundred was enjoyed. In
the future the club will meet regularly
at the ship in preference to its former
rooms at the Country club house.
Local hotels and rooming houses alike
are enjoying the most prosperous period
they have ever known. Accommodations
are hard to get and prices appear to have
reached the limit. Cottages of five rooms
on the beach rent readily for $100 per
month, and for a much larger amount
when let for shorter periods. The tent
city has had a waiting list since early
in July, and practically every agent re-
ports an unprecedented demand for apart
ments.

from which the list of patronesses and
patrons Is largely made up. The pro-
ceeds OF the ball will be devoted to Santa
Monica bay charities.
The regular Wednesday night society
dances at the auditorium are attracting
considerable favorable notice as the sea-
son advances. The functions are under
the management of Fred Limouze, for
merly of the Palm garden, Los Angeles,

ton in the dances can be had only by

people.
The Jolly Old Ladies': club. an organiza-
ton of twelve venerable clubites whose
ages aggregate more than 1000 years, was
entertained by the Crescent Bay Women's

of the occasion. At the close of the meet
ing a luncheon was served on twelve
tables with one of the Jolly twelve pre-
