he says, we're inspired by Joseph Me-

HUNTING RABBITS,
FOUND POT OF GOLD

Oil City, Pa, Nov 25.-Edward
Woods and Thomas Dickinson, lum-
bermen employed at Reeds sawmill,
at Olepolis, took a day off to hunt
rabbits, Wednesday, and as a result
are nearly $4,000 richer. Inciden-
tally, scores of men are searching the
hillsides near Olepolis, hoping to
duplicate the golden treasure dis
covered by Woods and Dickinson.
The two men were on the track Of
rabbit which entered a hole While
they were digging with the ends of
their guns they uncovered an iron
kettle filled with bright gold coins
Woods and Dickinson hastily lifted
the kettle and found it contained 3d.
600 in gold and $22 in silver.
The men carried the kettle with
its gold coins to the camp and ex-
hibited it to their fellow workmen.
Work was instantly suspended, the
lumbermen, together with drillers
and bumpers from nearby oil leases,
rushing to the spot indicated by
Woods and Dickinson, about two
miles from Olepolis.
Old-time residents believe the
money was buried by John Cald-
well, an eccentric farmer, who died
in an insane asylum nearly 80 years
ago.
Caldwell, who was widower, sold
his farm for $4,000 during the early
oil development He withdrew the
money from bank at Plummer. then
a flourishing oil town. Aged resi-
dents recall being shown the money
by Caldwell, but never knew how he
disposed of it before becoming insane.

There has been considerable rival
