PIRATE LAFITFE's TREASURE
Its Hiding Place Has 9een Pointed
Out in Dreams by Ghosts


Out in Dreams by Ghosts.
Since the French privateer and
smuggler, Jean LATTE, sailed the hig,
seas and bought his treasures to ths
gulf coast and buried them, now and
then it happens that some sensation
arises as to their immediate where
abouts, says the Houston Post.
Thirty-four years ago the pirate
the gulf, as Lafitte was called, a
peared In dream to DIR. Beazly an,
rather roughly taking him by the col
lar, told him to come with him and
he would show him where there were
gold and silver and diamonds buried.
The doctor In his dream followed his
midnight visitor and he directed him
to a certain place in the cottage which
was then the Beazly home and occu-
pied by the family, and designated the
spot under which lies the much-talked-
Of wealth OF the privateer.
The doctor, having the anne dreas
repeated twice in the E,me night, be-
came wide awake after Lafitte's third
visit and much interested, the result
being that he did, and perhaps. too,
very shortly afterward, begin digging
under the house in pursuit of the treas
ure.
After getting to the depth Of four
or five feet he found nothing Of any
moment except very unusual stone IN
this part of the world, where nothing
of it's kind was ever seen here.
Had he kept on possibly the treasure
might have been found and the restless
spirit Of Lafltte, wherever it may BE-
might have been released from this
burden Of secrecy, a burden from
which, seemingly, he wished to be re-
lieved. as another visit has been made
In the same house, and this time In
dream Lnfitte appears in the presence
of a lady, urging her to get the lost
Jewels, gold and silver.
After all these years DR.. Beazly has
at last consented to have some one else
who believes in the undertaking 1cip
him to find the treasures, and they
have made arrangements satisfactory
to all parties concerned, and now In
short time MT. Mckay. banker at Ls
Porte. being the associate mentioned
will begin operations to find the treas
ures slowed deep down under the o"
house.
