CAPT. KIDS TREASUh
Friend Of New York Man "Just over
Played Trick on Him With Box
OF GiIded Coins.

New York, Aug. 2G--This city has
just been treated, for what must be
at least the hundredth time, to the
re-discovery of the treasure which
Captain Kidd is supposed 10 have
buried somewhere between Florida
and Newfoundland. This time il
came 10 light in New York itself, or
rather in that part of the greater city
known as Staten Island. Its discoy-
erer, VINO settled there twenty-five
years ago mas spent every Sunday
and holiday since his arrival from
Ireland in tramping the island in the
search of the treasure which he felt
certain had been buried there. In
spite of the ridicule of mis- neighbors
he has persisted in his hunt. and this
week his perseverance was rewarded
by the discovery of large chest filled
with what appeared to be gold coins
and ingots. His jubilation was short
lived, however for closer examina-
ton revealed the fact that the coins
we're merely gilded pennies and the
ingots humps of brass, plant pre-
pared by his neighbors who had
grown tired of his search. So Cap
tain Kidd's treasure still remains
safe in spite of the great number OF
times II has been discovered.
