requisite fee is not paid before that time.
The data furnished the listing committee
by the new applicant for a place on the

GOLD IN PICKLE BARREL.
Widow Of an inventor Discovers Great
Riches Unexpectedly.

Alameda, Cal.-Finding pickle
barrel full of $40 gold pieces was the
delightful experience of the widow Of
H. A. Graf of 1916 Sixth street, West
Alameda, while exploring her cellar
day or two since.
Graft, while hurrying to catch n
train at the Third street station on
February 1, was seized with an attack
of heart failure and died at the Oak
land mole. He had, during his life
time, frequently remarked to his wife
that they would soon have enough in
the barrel to get back to their former
home in Germany and live for the
rest of their days.
This reference was never under
stood by his wife, and 1t now develops
that Graft had invented a mechanical
attachment for a piano, which
brought him in money from time to
time. The money he stored in the
pickle barrel and died too suddenly
to divulge the secret.
Mrs. Graf had no idea of the ex-
istence of the unusual receptacle OF
wealth and found 1t quite by acct.
dent, thus becoming many thousand
dollars richer.
