FIND MONEY In
RIVER SANDS
Idle Hour Club Members Be-
lieve "StrOnC Box" is
Buried There

Members Of the Idle Hour Club,
whose clubhouse is located near
Grubbs Landing, and residents Of that
section are digging in the sands along
the river shore there seeking untold
riches" not Captain Kidds treasure,
but that of some one who formerly
lived near there.
The sands along the river at vari-
ous times have yielded money and
other articles, but on Sunday last.
while William Butz, chief clerk of the
Bavarian Brewing Company, was dig
ging in the sand he found four silver
dollars and one half-dollar besides
several other pieces of copper and
silver. The entire find amounted to
S6.35. The news of Mr.. BUTTS luck
started everyone to dig and Henry
Hinger located a rusty revolver.
About four weeks ago Henry Lesher
of Philadelphia, found S4 in silver at
the same spot. All the dollars bears
the date Of 1884 and as other persons
have found money there it is thought
that a strong box was buried there
years ago. In addition to the money
lock and key was located.
The site was used at one time for
cabin by man named James Grubb
who was thought to be wealthy. This
cabin was destroyed by fire and
Grubb removed to another part of the
county, where he is now living.

conviction exploited to the public.

put her in the gang" was his order
to the town marshal, who had pro-

under no circumstances will the city
