Unearth Ancient Thieves Cache

A peculiar find was made by
some young men last week on the
bank of the river on the east side,
down below the Winner resi-
dence. An accidental caving off
of the bank at that place disclosed
a pile of very old fashioned steel
spectacles. numbering 100 or more
Apparently they had been buried
in a box, or some receptacle, which
had rotted away. The frames are
of steel and the glasses are very
small and old fashioned, some of
them being square and others of
the ordinary shape, but all about
half the size of the glasses of the
present day. No doubt but what
the glasses had been cached there
perhaps by the thief who stole
them, or at least by some n
The work of secreting them must
have been done manv, many years
ago, as all evidence of any box
they may have been placed in had
disappeared. That it was done
long ago is evidenced by the fact
that the spectacles are so very
ancient, nothing whatever like
them is to be found in any of shops
of the present day. From the style
of the glasses. their size, etc,
everything points to the fact that
at least Is or 100 years must have
elapsed since they were placed in
the ground and there is much spec
ulation as to why and how they
were secreted in the ground on
the banks of the North Platte riv,
or at this place. Specimens o.
the spectacles can be seen at this
office.
