MAY SEARCH FOR
HIDDEN TREASURE
BANDITS TAINTED HOARD 10.
CATEED NEAR WENATCHEE
SAID TO BE KNOWN TO WHAT.
COM COUNTY SHERIFF.

An article in the Tacoma News,
under a Wenatchee date line says:
Search for the buried treasure of
'Old Bill' Bascom, smuggler, train
robber and gunman, who died in
Wisconsin penitentiary, has been re-
vived in the neighborhood of his
cabin near here, where he resided
twenty years ago. He made the place
a base of operations in his smuggling
work, and was captured there by a
Wisconsin sheriff and taken back
east
"Old Bill boosted at the time of
his capture that he had fortune of
from $4,000 to $4,000 in gold bur-
led in a gulch back of his cabin,
which would stay there to the end
of time. The money is all tainted,
being the proceeds of the lawless
and illicit work of Bascom and his
gang. The gulch has been fairly
overturned by the treasure-seekers
but no gold has been found as yet
Sheriff Andrew Williams of What
com county is the only man living
who knows definitely the location of
BascOm's buried hoard. He states
that he has in his possession a de-
scription of the spot where it is hid
den, furnished him by an aunt of the
bad man since deceased. Williams
was the Wisconsin sheriff who twen-
ty years ago, captured the smuggler
at the point of gun near Wenat
chez, on warrant issued for him
in the eastern state. Bascom was
wanted for shooting scrape there.
and Williams, after chase half way
across the continent, captured him
and took him back, where he died
while in the pentitentiary.
Before his death Bascom inform
ed his wife where the treasure was
hidden. but she refused to search for
it, and declared she would not take
it if it were given to her. Before
her death, however, she informed a
relative of its location, and this in
formation was impaired to Williams
The sheriff says that he may take
trip to Wenatchee in the near flu
ture to search for the treasure. He
had almost forgotten the circum-
stances of its existence until he re-
ceived the word from Wenatchee
that the hunt for it had been reviv-
ed. He feels sure from the descrip-
ton of the hiding place given him
he can unearth the trove, although
search of considerable duration
may be necessary.

MRS ARTEMITIA WHEATON.

The death of Mrs Artemitia Wheat on, widow of George A. Wheaton, oc- cured December 22, after short ill- ness, the result of slight paralytic stroke. At first it was thought there would be no serious results from her illness but the advanced age of 85 be- ing too great an obstacle, she grad ually grew weaker until the end came quietly that Sunday evening at the home of her daughter, Mrs James A. Cochrane, where she has resided a numbr of years. Neither of her only living children were able to be with her at the last, Mrs Cochrane being in Florida for the winter and another daughter, Mrs L. A. Drew of New Mil ford, herself being confined to sick bed. But the aged grandmother was tenderly cared for by her grandchild- ren and laid to rest the day before Christmas. Rev C. N. Fitch conduct ed the services. Mrs Wheaton was the daughter of William Baldwin and be- longed to one of Cornwall's old fami- lies, c. E. Baldwin being the only one of her generation now living in this town.
