The Martinsburg Journal interviewed
Col, James F. Thompson on his recent
return fro m attending a meeting of the
Insane Asylum board at Weston. Re-
garding the political sitlation and gossip
in those parts of the state visited by Col
onel Thompson. he said:
.sThere seems to be a firm conviction
that Senator Elkins is preparing deep
scheme for the elimination of Senator
Scott This is to be accomplished by the
nomination Of Charles w SwIsher. who
is regarded as the weakest man the re-
publicans could name for governor. FL
kins favors the nomination of former
Senator Davis by the democrats and it is
believed that he has influenced Mr. Davis,
who is his father-in-law, to accept the
nominate, n. In this event it is regarded
as forgone conclusion that Davis would
beat Swisher. and that the democrats
would carry the legislature, thus ena-
bling the democrats to elect successor
to Scott.
There is a pronounced sentiment in
favor of Davis among the democrats IN
the western portion of the state. but Del
egate Wetzel, of Jefferson county. is g
strong second choice. and the idea pre-
walls there that either Davis or Wetze
will be the democratic standard bearer

Wetzel is very highly regarded by mem

large sum down and then proceeded to

BURIES CASH IN A FIELD; FOR

TO INSTITUTE A FLOWING OF
THE FIELD IN SEARCH OF
GOLD.

TACOMA, Nov. 5.-R. P. Millvine,
of American Lake, claims to be the
victim of a peculiar misfortune.
Some time ago he sold timber lands,
realizing $4,000 in cash. Having
had some experience with banks
years ago, in which he came out
loser, he resolved that he would not
deposit all his money. Placing $4,-
600 in different banking institutions
he took $4,000 and buried it. He
placed the money, which was in the
form of $40 gold pieces, in a glass
fruit jar and securely wrapping this
in rubber cloth, buried it in a plot
of land, five acres in extent, near
American Lake.
After a few days he became afraid
that he had been observed, and dug
the money up, he claims, and re-
buried it. The hiding place of the
coin still worried him, and believing
that some one might have an inkling
of the location of the cache, he dug
II UP ciuu LOl IllC JIlIu IlIue DuIlGu
it. Ten days ago he tried to find
the spot where it was, but was I'M
able to loate it. Weeds, which had
been standing in the vicinity of the
cache at the time when he placed
the money in its third resting place,
had withered and died with the ad-
vance of the season, and one part of
the strip, which is all perfectly level.
looked so much like another, that he
found it impossible to locate the
spot.
He came into Tacoma a few DAYS
ago and securing the services of a |
detective, spent two days in trying |
o unearth the money, but without |
success. The detective advised him
o have the whole field plowed up and
'craped and worked over until the
money is revealed. This may be
lone.
