Peter Stoeffel narrowly escaped
being run over last Thursday while
hauling small load of cord wood
from his home north of town. A
train>was switching in the railroad
yards and Mr.. Stoeffel evidently
imagined that it would not be difficult
to cross the track In front of the
engine, as it was approaching rather
slowly. He managed to get nearly
across when the train struck him,
lifting the hind end of the wagon to
one side. Had it struck him minute
sooner he would probably have been
killed.
Treasure hunting has been a
popular pastime in Lancaster during
the past week. The news that one
of the men digging ditch near the
corner of DR.. Critchlow's residence
had found buried beneath the surface
of the ground dollar of 1884 (worth
perhaps many times its face
value) travelled like wild fire. Every
place where it was possible for the
money hoarders of our early history to
have hidden their valuables was
thoroughly gone over by citizens
DESTROYS of getting rich quick. To
one excited preson the site of the old
depot, appeared veritable mine of
wealth. All day Sunday he and his
family dug around the foundations Of
the venerable old structure doubtless
imagining that the antique building
had stood in the days when pirates
infested the whole Mississippi valley
and hid their i'll gotten treasure here
and there. Such mistake. however,
is excusable. Others of our citizens
joined them in their search during
the day. All of them had heard of
any amount of money being found
during the past week but none of
them appeared to find any. A crush
ing blow to their hopes for sudden
afhuence came when some one scraped
the dirt from the face of the dollar,
above referred to-, and disclosed the
fact that the coin bore the date 1884
instead Of 1884. In the meantime We
haven't heard of any more valuable
treasures.
