to trial how can we pick an unpreju-

"In other words" went on Judge
Brewster calmly, you have found this

consider evidence which may tend to
prove otherwise"
"'Tain't my business to consider ev-

sharply, "but at present it's up to

"Me?" exclaimed the other in genu.

"Yes," went on Judge Brewster
calmly, you were instrumental in OBJ

raising a question as to the truth of
that confession"
Capt. Clinton showed signs of i'm

shoulders deprecatingly, he said:
Are we going over all that? What's
the use? A confession is confession
and that settles it. 1 suppose the doc

YES" retorted the Judge quickly,
"it's beginning to sprout, captain!"
There was a sudden interruption
caused by the entrance of the butler,
who approached his master and whis-
pered something to him. Aloud the
Judge said:

The servant retired and Capt. Clin-

his eyes flashed as he retorted

police bully squirmed uneasily on his
chair.

Perhaps it is" replied the lawyer
quickly without losing his temper.
Then he asked: Captain, will you an

Hiram, O.-The faculty of Hiram

dormitory.
1t was past ten o'clock, and lights
were out, when they let 1t in through
a window. Mr.. Pig did the rest. His
squealing and romping hoofs cast con
sternation among the goods.
The matron was the first who dared
to leave bed. She opened the door
and tried to drive the animal out. But
it charged past her. and as she lodged
it ran upstairs.
The goods formed boar hunt. They
armed themselves with brooms, ten
mis- racquets and ornamental fencing

the carnage. But the pig stood his
ground.

unfortunately it is life"
Suddenly the door opened and Capt.

Both men were in plain clothes. The
captains manner was condescendingly
polite, the attitude of a man so sure
OF his own position that he had little
respect for the opinion of any one
else. With an effort at amiability he
began:

SEARCH FOR BIG SUM
COLORADO PEOPLE LOOKING. FOR
WEALTH OF CHlNAMAN.
Parties Are Being Organized In West
ern Mining District to Hunt For
Savings Left by Rich Pros
pector from the Orient.

Georgetown, Colo.-Hidden wealth,
estimated at from $4,000 to $lOo,ooo''
has been the cause Of a great many
people journeying 10 the Idaho Springs
mining district during the last nine
years and, as usual, there Will De-
searching parties at work as soon as
the weather moderates this spring.
This money is supposed to have
been hidden by an aged Chinaman' An
Lee, who died in Denver nine years
ago. Lee was known to have been the
possessor of great wealth, portion OF
which was in gold dust and nuggets
but so far the explorers have failed to
locate the treasure.
All Lee had been a resident OF this
district for over twenty years, during
which time he had devoted himself ex-
clusively to placer mining. His nome
was just below Floyd Hill, seven miles
from Idaho Springs. He lived In q
modest cottage which he himself had
constructed out of logs. 1t faced to
the north and was within 200 feet OF
the waters of Clear Creek canyon.
During his long residence here All
Lee could be seen every day-rain,
snow or shine, busily engaged in de-
veloping his placer claims. He had
no associates whatever, and to all APP
pearances was satisfied in living the
life of a hermit. Still, he was well
liked by the citizens OF Idaho Springs,
where he occasionally visited tor the
~ hfo or nj
groceries. Whenever he came to that
city be sold his bullion, but insisted
upon being paid in gold coin. AS soon
as he received his money the old fel-
low would leave for home.
On November 6. 1903, two men at
tackled the Chinaman and injured him
so that he died. 1t was then ascer-
tanned that Lee was an outcast. No
relatives could be located, and the
Chinaman found a grave in the pot
ter's field
After the death OF Lee searching
parties were organized. The locality
where he lived was thoroughly ex-
plotted in an attempt to find the sup
posed hidden wealth. Those old-time
IeSluenlS VINO ndu KNOWN Lee uuIlHS
his long residence got busy. They fig
ured up the various sums OF money
that the Chinaman had received from
gold dust and nuggets, and it was
found that he had mined close to
100000. AS Lee had never visited
Denver or had any intimate friends.
it was concluded that he had not sent
the money to the old country. There
fore, Lee much have cached his wealth.
From that day to this there are
many who believe that some one will
eventually find the treasure. Upon
several occasions searching parties
have come from Denver and other sec
lions of the state. This spring and
summer will prove no exception to the
rule. Already several parties have
announced their intention OF making
investigation. Will the money be
found? is a remote question. At any
rate, the search is well worth the ef-
fort If people have nothing else to do.
