BURIED TREASURE WAS FOUND
Kansas Man Followed Directions
Given in Chart and Dug Up
Real Money.

Paola, Kansas.-David Banta, for
mer resident of Wea township, near
Louisburg, Kan, but now living near
Waco, Tex, buried $3.50 in gold on
his farm northwest of Louisburg. Re-
Gently Mr.. Banta moved to Texas and
bought home there, but left his
buried treasure behind.
Cyrus Aiken of Louisburg received
a letter from Mr.. Banta telling him
where the money was buried and in
structing Mr.. Aiken to get the money
and send him draft for the amount.
Mr. Aiken found the spot and the
money, which was buried several feet
in the ground, was hidden in an old
wagon hub, the ends of which were
plugged up with hedgewood. A draft
was sent to Mr.. Banta.

DYNAMITE PLANTED ON TRACK
FOURTEEN STICKS FOUND UNDER
RAILS NEAR JOPLIN.
Fitted With Caps and Fuses But Had
Failed to ExpIode-May Have
Been Meant for Miners.

Joplin, Missouri.-Fourteen sticks
of dynamite were found under the
tracks of the Southwest Missouri
Electric railway at Midway Park, in
the extreme southeast part of Joplin,
by passenger who was waiting for a
car.
The explosive was fitted with caps
and fuses and so arranged that it
might have been set off either from
the jar of a car passing above or from
the fuses which had been placed
across the rails and surrounded by
matches.
Earlier in the day quantity of
black blasting powder had been ex-
ploded on the Turkey Creek bridge, a
few yards north Of the spot where
the dynamite was found. Although
the force of the black powder eX-
plosion was felt for a great distance,
shaking buildings and awakening the
residents of the locality, the explosion
damage to the bridge.
At the point where the dynamite
was found, double tracking is used.
Several sticks were placed under the
extreme west rail and like number
under the extreme east rail, pre-
sumably with the intention of blowing
up cars going in either direction. AL
though the explosive was buried in
flint gravel, which would have seemed
to have insured its being set off, sew
eral cars filed. with miners passed in
both directions without damage be-
fore the discovery of the mines was
made.
No motive is known for the at
tempted dynamiting.

Something the Matter, Anyhow.

Little Harold lives in Broad Ripple
His mother got him ready for bed
one cold night. and to be sure he
would be warm enough during the
night she took extra precautions, re-
lates the indianapolis News. After
she had put on his little fuzzy paJa
mas she tucked him carefully in be
tween the wool blankets. Then. to
make doubly sure, she got a hot water
bottle for him-and the youngsteI
was apparently as snug as could be
with only his little nose sticking out
from beneath the covers.
When his mother had finished the
tucking-iD job she turned down the
light. Soon the entire family was II
bed. But Harold is like most young
sters. He loves his mother, anC
wishes lots of attention. So in his chile
mind he figured out a way to get hel
to his bed.
Mamma" he walled, I'm cold!"
Nonsense, SOM" replied his moth
er, and she never made a move to &c
to his rescue.
The little boy tried the opposite.
