matter, for Mrs. Hayiland was firm
believer in dreams Mrs. Saigle did
not take much stock in her own

found the cellar, and with pick and
shovel she dug one whole day. She
stayed at a farm house that night and
proceeded TO dig again next day.

her muscles sore.
The spirit OF old Simon Gardner
had told her. through Mrs. Lewis as
q medium, that the treasure was only
three feet under the ground. but she
dug and dug and dug until she reach
ed many more feet in depth, and dug
in all corners OF the cellar for fear
the spirits memory might have been
SHIRT on the location. But she did
not strike the wealth.
She came back to Denver and her
friends teased her about her trip.
She became angered and went before
Judge Stapleton Of the municipal
court and complained The court
could not aid her in finding the buried
wealth, but offered TO prosecute Mrs.
Lewis for practicing clairvoyance
without a license.

costs Just double the amount OF the
license She appealed the case 10
