widow and his other relatives-he had
no children-he was found not to have

ware jar was found $4,000. The mon
ey was brought here and placed in SAFE
custody, and the court directed the
sheriff to return Monday and prose
cute further the search for treasure
which is still believed to be buried
on the farm.
Dickson was misery. He had few
relatives. He was childless and o
his four brothers and four sisters bu
one is living and his whereabouts arr
unknown. He owned 260 acres O
very fine land, which made him al
annual rental of from $1,000 to $500
He owned 1000 chickens and from
these he secured the income on which
he and his wife lived. His farm ht
