in mis- complaint against the useless
extravaganza Of the government in its

Is no more reason for giving away

difficulty is located south of the Mason

Electric railroads without number
are being built on paper in South Da-
kota this year. Hardly can we pick up
one Of our exchanges without casting
our optics on some newly projected
line. And if all Of these projects were
in actual operation it would hardly
seem that there would be space left
for anything else. The Magee project
is apparently wrapped in a deep sleep,
and a number of the papers in the ter
ritory where this road was to run are
referring to the promoters as having

ever, Mr.. Harold recalling the find
ing of other men dead near this very
spot, at once released the stone and

story to Sheriff Jorgenson, who hap

went back and pulled the rock from

that 1t closed the opening to a large,
deep stairway. Carrying one Of the
lights from the sheriff's automobile,
the two men descended the steps and
found themselves in a large roomy
cavern.
A close investigation of the place
disclosed three rooms Of nearly the
same proportions, each one well-stock-

the first DON was an endless assort-
ment of clothing, household goods and
small utensils. This place was also
used for a living room, as it contain

A gasoline stove showed evidence OF
recent use.
The second was evidently the

The town of Hayti is greatly
finding of thousands of dollars worth
or property in a heretofore, undis-
covered cave. The goods hidden in
this underground cavern are of evrr y
describable variety, ranging from U.
S. gold and silver coins to articles OF
everyday household use.

the hidden treasure was unearthed,
for the vicinity has been the center
OF a well-settled community for many
years and the idea that a cave exist.

Just west of the city of Hayti is
a high hill, thickly covered with
trees. This elevation is known as

have been found dead here in the
past years, and although the author
tiles have always made the mos

tragedy. In each instance the suicide
theory has been precluded by the alb
sence of .ny evidence to show self
dstruction-the cause v e being the
result Of a pistol shot and nc pisto

For many years these deaths have
been q source Of mystery. and until

state that the search for cause il
