PIRATES TREASURE
ON PADRE ISLAND?
Dad Guthrie Unearths Brass Handles oil
Supposed Treasure Chest.

Is there sure-enough' treasure
on Padre Island, or are the legend
and traditions which have been
handed down from generation to
generation of people living in this
part of the country, merely myths?
Has someone been playing a
practical joke on old Dad"
Guthrie, the treasure seeker of
Padre Island. by burying articles
where he was known to dig, or
are the two handles of an ola
fashioned chest which he found
yesterday, relics of casket of
pirate treasure?
These are the questions which
many residents of Brownsville and
Point Isabel are asking themselves
today, as the result of the find OF
Dad" Guthrie, who has been
digging in various parts of the is
land for the lost treasure of the
pirate La Fitte, for more than two
months.
Dad who has provided him
self with small jacal on Tarpon
Beach, was industriously digging
away in the sand yesterday MORN
ing about six miles up the beach
when his implement struck sonnet
hing hard. Dad" unearthed it,
and after brushing away the sand
which had accumulated and hard
ened upon it, he was amazed and
delighted to discover that it was a
finely chased brass handle, evident
ly once an appurtenance of a sea
chest of value. Dad almost
went into ecstacy, as the full mean
ing of the possibilities of his dis
covery dawned upon him. aud he
resumed his excavating work with
feverish haste. Soon he uuearthed
the counterpart of the first handle.
and, stopping only long enough to
assure himself that they were
mates" he again attacked the pit
with increasing energy.
Though he dug away until the
shades of night drove him home
ward, Dad" Guthrie was unable
to discover any other signs of
chest, than the two brass handles.
He brought them back to Tarpon
Beach with him, and there showed
them to number of friends. An
nouncement of the discovery was
