One day this week while Robert
Pruitt was excavating basement for
his new dwelling, he ran across an
old iron inch pipe extending nearly
due north and south acrose the excava-
ton. On inquiry it was finally learned
from the old settlers that years ago
when the Short Line first built through
the country they laid inch water
pipe across where the townsite now is,
from Little Wood river a quarter of
mile away to their tank beside the
tracks. Afterwards they dug well
to supply the tank and abandoned the
old water pipe where it has reposed
unknown for many years until Mr..
Pruitt came across it by accident.
Mr.. Pruitt thought of all the old stories
of buried pots of gold and dynamite
bombs when he first uncovered the find.
