Did They Find the Buried Treasure! {!

A rather mysterious happening in
Green township, near Newmansville, re-
Gently, is causing considerable specula-
ton and talk in that neighborhood. The
beginning of the story dates back to Au-
gust 2, 1882, when John Cleary, who had
worked in the lumber woods and owned
and lived alone on farm which in later
years was known as the Hsgerty farm,
was sdjudged insane and taken to the
North Warren Asylum, where he still
remains a charge on this county. Ac-
cording to an account published in the
REPUBLICAN at that time, Cleary was
hard worker, had saved considerable
money, which he had buried, as he ex-
pressed it, "where neither fire or water
could harm it," He forgot where he had
placed the money, and its loss so preyed
on his mind that he became insane. His
halucinaton was that the air was full of
witches and ghosts and that they were
after him, so he came to Tionesta and
asked to be locked in Jail, $50 they
couldn't get at him" as be expressed it.
The last chapter of the story, as related
by our informant, occurred on Saturday
evening last, when two strange men
drove up to the home of Thomas Flynn,
who lives on the farm adjoining the old
Cleary farm. We did not learn whether
gave their names as Sears and Roebuck.
and residence as Jefferson county. These
names, of course, are fictitious. The
men went out in the evening, were gone
only short time, and went to bed early,
having with them a satchel which they
closely guarded. About dusk that eve
ming Mrs. Flynn went to neighbours
and in passing the old Cleary home, long
since gone to ruin, heard a noise as though
some one were digging, but paid little
attention to IL. The strangers arose early
Sunday morning to leave and while Mr..
Flynn was helping them to hitch up he
noticed pick and shovel in their buggy,
which had the appearance of having been
recently used. He mentioned this to his
wife and after putting the two circum-
stances together, started to investigate.
He found freshly dug hole three or four
feet deep under the rough wall or in the
collar of the old Cleary home, but the
hole was the only evidence in sight as TO
whether the men found anything. The
mysterious circumstance has revived all
the old stories of Mr.. Cleary's buried
wealth and the amount is placed at from
hundreds up to many thousands of dol
lars. But the main question which is ag-
itsting the minds of the good people in
that neighborhood is, did the strangers
succeed in unearthing the hard-esrned
aud long-forgotten hoardings of poor,
unfortunate John Cleary? Mr.. Cleary
was known to have one brother, Thomas
Cleary,
