ing complications in the Balkans.
In Great Britain more than in any
other European country outside of
those of the combatants the war be-
tween Italy and Turkey causes ap-
prehension. Damage to England's in
terests and prestige is factor in the
resultant anxiety. The danger is how
far the Turks will exercise self re.
straint and limit their retaliation To
Italy; how far racial and religious
feeling may excite them to political
activities.
Much the darkest clouds tonight

Strong fear prevails lest Turkish
pride and the necessity for the young
Turkish government to gain populari

that it can play the game of aggres

RAILROAD IN GOOD SHAPE.

Chicago, ILL.,. Sept. 30.-The rail
roads are in good shape to stand a
strike, according to local officials. A
retrenchment order recently issued
reduced the number of employees
nearly 25 per cent and there is suf-
ficient number of idle men in all
crafts to permit the roads to keep
their shops running even if all of the
men go out, they say.
This was denied today by President
Kline of the Blacksmiths union, who
said the men the railroads are count
ing on to fill the places of the strik-
ers are union men recently laid off
and would refuse to work during a
strike.
The strike order came after tele

OF Mexico are inclined to think that
the national treasury has been de-

BURIED TREASURE
ON IDAHO TRAIL
Robbers Cache Gold Nuggets
From Montana While Escaping
Pursuit From Miners

Buried in Idaho somewhere along the
overland trail to Oregon is hoard of
thousands of dollars Of Montana gold
nuggets, which some Idaho farmer may
stumble across.
Iu the early COS party of about 20
men packed into Montana from Oregon
prospecting for gold. Their search
ended at the confluence of Poor Mans

spondent to the New York World. 1t
was late in the Fall when they arrived
and having plenty Of food, the deter
mined to remain and mine during the
Winter.
The members OF the party were in
of $500 set. A set of ground eau be
worked out in a day by two miners, SO
the Oregon men cleaned up at the rate
OF 5000 day a man. Along in the fol.
lowing Summer the placers were worked
out and the party. having amassed
thousands of dollars. pulled out to re-
turn to Oregon.
Their pack train was heavily loaded
and they were compelled to travel
slowly. News of their coming with the
panniers filed with gold travelled ahead
of them and party of highwaymen or.
ganizsd to waylay them and secure the
booty. At point along the Oregon
trail in Idaho q midnight raid was made
by the road agents. Every gold seeker
save one was killed. and he was 80
badly wounded that he was left for
dead.
Hastily rounding up the pack train
aud loading 1t, the bandits struck out.
Shortly after they had left two pros.
pectors came by and discovered the
dead. Not waiting to inter the bodies.
the two prospectors swiftly notified
other prospectors who lived in the vi
cinity and ell started after the robbers.
After trailing them two days the
pursuers caught the robbers, but the
latter had cached the gold taken from
the miners. AL! but one of the road
agents were hanged on the spot and the
life of one was spared on condition that
he would return to the cache and di'
vulge its location to the vigilantes. The
road agent led the way quickly enough
to the approximate location of the cache
and then was either un willing or unable
to reveal its precise location. The vigi-
lantes negotiated with him nearly three
weeks and then, their patience falling,
they hanged him. With the road agents
perished the secret of the whereabouts
Of the gold.
