CAMDEN TRAIN
 NOT TO BE TAKEN OFF
Secretary Caldwell Says Cotton Belt Officials Assures the Board of Trade That Mornin. Train From Camden Will Be Continued.

Sfcre tary J. l.. Caldwell. of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, yesterday issued the following statement. which is self-explanitory:
 There have been recent rumors to the effect that the Cotton Belt Rail- road intended to discontinue the daily train running between Camden and Little Rock. The Board Of Trade has official denial of the truth of these rumors, and the assurance that the discontinuance of this train has not even been contemplated. While all train schedules are liable to change this particular train has been so pop uar with the people living along the line of the road, and profitable to the road. that there seems to be no appar- ent reason why any change whatever should be made.

Then Mccormick took affairs in hand.
Seeing the matter required careful
thought he asked for a two-weeks' va
cation, that he might not be disturbed
in righting a municipal wrong.
The chief of police was aghast when
Mccormick made his request. as his
absence would deplete the force and
the other policemen in the town would
have double patrol duty to do. but
granted the request.
In a few days he was back on the
Job, a smile of satisfaction spread
over his countenance. The tramp
problem was solved.
Tramps who applied for lodging

way in which they were received.
Never in all their tramp lives had

EGG REVEALS GOLD
HAS MAP SHOWING sHC~
BURIED TREASURE ON Sol
Ezra Delivers One Dollar for Gypsy
Wares and Gets Wonderful Sc
cret in Return for His
Money.

Tyson, Vt.-Ezra Burt, who lives
about a mile east Of the Corners, has
a hen which no amount of money will
buy. It is a scrawny, disappearing
fowl with bedraggled feathers and a
semi-bald head. and what is more 1t
has laid only one egg in its entire two
years existence. Still, old Betsy, as
the hen is called, has a niche In Ez-
ra's heart, and gets the very best
grain the farm affords.
The secret of all this is that the
one egg Betsy laid contained On its
shell a raised water-line map OF the
spot where old jeremiah Burt, Ezra's
great-grandfather, buried his gold at
the time of the revolutionary war, and
with the aid of this map Ezra recov-
cred the treasure. Just how much this
was no one has been able to find out,
but it is known that the mortgage ON
the farm has beer paid of and the
Burt family is living in comfort.
The Burts gave up hunting for the
secreted wealth 40 years ago, after
they had searched and dug until they
were tired out. They knew that the
paternal Burt sunk his gold some
where in the earth, and went off to
war without telling his family where
he had placed It, further than that 1t
was on the farm.
Last summer a gypsy came along
selling beads and laces and offered to
go into a trance and solve the treasure
riddle provided Ezra bought a dol
lars worth of her wares. Burt took up
the offer and in her trance the woman
said that some day an old scrawny
hen would lay an egg in which would
be found a map. If this were followed
the treasure would be found. Ezra
thought he was 'stung," but he paid
the dollar.
Nothing more happened until a.
month ago, when Betsy was found in
the wood box behind the kitchen
stove. Horrifed at the idea of having
a hen in her kitchen, Mrs. Burt shooed
her out, and was surprised to find an
egg nesting in the %shavings. The egg
had peculiar raised lines on the shell,
n Ezra was called. He remembered
the prophecy of the gypsy and care
fully studied the shell. Sure enough
there was a map with a little star at
the base of an old maple tree in the
sugar orchard.
With a pick and shovel Burt set
forth, and an hour later returned
with a discolored copper soap kettle
heavy with gold. The family kept the
secret until the mortgage was paid,
when it ecame common property. All
efforts to get Ezra to tell how much
money he found in the kettle have
failed.

Land Office Must Decide II She Quit

Platte, s. D.-The officials of the
federal land office must decide whether
Mary A. Melser. who won No. 1 in the
great Trip county land drawing last
fall. has traded off her husband for
her $4,000 prize. or whether her for
tune has come to relieve her at a time
when she was about to be left without
support.
Mrs. Melser was granted a divorce
here upon the grounds of desertion.
II was while on a visit to her parents
in Lyman county that Mrs. Melser
learned of her good fortune. At the
time It was wondered whether. as a
married woman, she would be entitled
to file on the land since she had not
obtained a divorce.
But she asserted that she had not
lived with Melser since June, 1907;
that she had given him up, and that
she had supported herself since the
separation, and the divorce was

Twin City Parties Would Finance the
Four Traction Auto Companv.

Edgar Parker, agent for the Four
Traction Auto company i'm the twin
cities, returned this noon from there.
He has been trying to finance the com
pany there in such way that the
factory could continue to be located
in Mankato. Those who are willing
Ito put money in as an investment
have no objection to this. but Others
want it moved to the Midway district
between the twin cities as prere-
quisite to furnishing the necessary
capital, which is $250000. 1t looks as
though the factory would have to &c
unless Mankato people put money into
it. Thus far only 81 900 of stock has
been subscribed for in Mankato, aside
from that taken by the original mem
bers of the company or employees. This
: is not encouraging, when it is consid
cred what a great future the company
could have and the profits that il
might make. Mr.. Rosenberger has in
vested as much as he is able to, ant
i'm order to carry on and enlarge the
business it will be necessary to ge,
more capital, and if this cannot b,
gotten in Mankato it will have to b,
gotten where it can be gotten, even i
the factory has to be moved from TIT
lefty.
If the Commercial club can do any
thing to save the factory for Mankatt
lit ought to get busy at once.
