Vienna MAY "A romantic story.
reminiscent in some respects OF one Of
Edgar Allan Poe's tales comes from
1dahrisch-Schonberg an ancient little
town in the Austrian provi=ce OF Moravia-
This town possessed a very fine old
church steeple which. despite protests
from lovers Of ancient architecture, had
10 be pulled down recently, owing TO its
unsafe condition. During the work OF
demolition Workmen came upon a cavity
containing a casket inciosing a dOc6-
nent Of the time Of the Thirty Years
War, stating that the town council OF the
tine. fearing an attack BY the Swedish
forces under Gustavus Adolphus. had
buried The city treasure az a point where
at a certain hour OF a certain day Of cne
year the shade OF the steeple point would
fan
The discovery caused an enormous sen
sation locally. The steepIe had already
been pulled down. 80 that the means OF
Identification was lost Nothing seems

the town treasure, but this is not sur

document seems TO be genuine enough.
The authorities have decided 70 recon

however, far from complete, and some
doubt may be entertained whether the
