HUNTS FOR LOST TREASURE
Gold Buried Thirty Years Ago by
Miner. He Is Now Looking For 1t.

The following interesting story of
lost treasure and faith mistaken is
told by Edward Cornelius, an old res
ident of Murray, who has been work
ing in the Kellogg sewer, apparently
for SO day, but in reality he says he
has been working to locate SS5, 900
which he buried in 1883 in a Dutch
oven, and which he has never been
able to find.
In 1883 he and his partner left Mon
tana for the new gold country around
Murray. They loaded their pack
horses, he says, with $4,000 in gold,
all in $40 good pieces, planning to
use this money to buy up all available
placer country, which was reported to
be unusually rich.
They came down the Prospect creek
trail and over the Mullen road, down
to what is now Kellogg They there
heard that the country for which they
were headed was not as rich as at
first reported, and as the country was
full of gold hunters, was wild and
rough, they decided to cache their
gold, Cornelius says and go into the
Murray country to investigate before
making any bargains to buy the placer
ground.
The gold was hidden in the flat
which extends from the Kellogg de-
pot to the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mills. it is asserted. and the bold hun
tiers marked the spot by blazing a fir
tree and two nine trees. burying the
gold in a Dutch oven in the center of
this triangle.
Cornelius and his partner remain
ed in the Murray country for a year
end on their return to dig up their
money and quit the country they found
a fire had swept the district and eli
every landmark. The pair

EXTRA SESSION TALK VANISHING.
Opposition to Proposition is Heard
From Al Sections.

| From Al Sections.
The prospects for a session extra
| ordinary are rapidly vanishing. 1t is
now almost safe to say that an extra
| session will not be called by Cover
nor John M. Haines, although the chief
executive has not as yet authorized
a definite expression defining what he
proposes to do. 1t is current rumor,
however, at the state house that such
tremendous opposition came from all
parts OF the state to the converting of
session extraordinary as to prohibit
further serious consideration relative
to converting the making body.
Some OF the strongest protests are
Known to have come from members
OF the legislature-both senators and
representatives. They, as we'll as party
men from all parts of the state, have
been freely consulted by the governor
both by person and by letter. While
all agree that attention, including the
drainage act, the logged-off land act,
the revenue act and the Carey act
land matters, it is now said that the
governor has been advised these mat
ters, while urgent, can wait another
year for settlement.
Taxpayers generally over the state,
already burdened with heavy taxes
they find almost impossible to pay,
have made their protests to an extra
session known to the chief executive
The original plan to call the legisla-
ture into session was for but period
of week to hold down the expense.
1t is believed now, however, that an
extra session could not be confined to
week. Members of the assembly
would, it is claimed, want a longer
period to consider the legislation they
might pass upon. Could these men,
bers be signed to enact certain legisla-
ton and none other it is said that the |
session extraordinary might be 20 |
yet. But those who have had expert |
ence in signing members of this law |
making body most positively declare |
this cannot be done Therefore it has
been ioiDted ont the session extraor-
binary would cost the state from $751;
coo to $4,000 which the taxpayers
would have to pay
The fact that Carey act matters in |
this state. now in bad tangle, need |
special attention is generally admit
ted by leaders of all political parties
but IT is pointed out that the proposed

Good Reasoning

seems natural with good
citizens, but there's no
denying the fact that our
forefathGrs gave home
building a grand boost for
all time when they almost
to a man selected wood as

absolutely no doubt they
adopted it not alone be-
cause of its low cost, but
also because it afforded
the most sanitary homes.
For the same reasons peo-
pie are still using wood to
build homes. It's one
thing in the world supplied
by Nature that human
minds and hands have not
been able to improve up
on. The lumber. however,

BOYCOTT NEWSPAPER FOR

llecla. S. D.-Certain of the bust
ness men and other residents are re.
liably stated to have formed plans
Tor instituting a-boycott on the Hecla
Stanrard, Il local weekly newspaper,
Dasing their action on the ground
that the paper has not been active
enough in waging a fight against the
big mail order houses, which are said
to be doing ii big business in the
Hecla trade territory. The business
men complain that the paper has not
taken sides with them in this par
ticular and has not denounced the
farmers of the surrounding region
for patronizing the mail order hous-
es. In defending his position after
being informed of the boycott plans
of the business men and others the
editor of The paper says: "While the
Standard does not fight against the
catalogue houses, it does not fight
either for or against the local mer-
chant, and as the farmers are our
neighbors as well as the businessmen
OF iiecla, we can see no reason why
we should be forced to take sides
for either and consequently the edi-
tor and his large family vii have to
yield to the boycott from the BOSSES
The boycott promises to be the most
interesting OF its kind for some years
in South Dakota and it is expected
that it will reach the courts before
either side admits defeat.

EGAN'S LIBEL
CASE PUT OFF
HIS SUIT FOR $50, 900 DAMAGES
FROM SIOUX FALLS PRESS
WON'T BE HEARD UNTIL
AUTUMN. {

Sioux Falls, S. DC. w. Egan's
plea for postponement of trial of
his $4,000 libel suit against The
Sioux Falls Press brought results yes
terday when the court against the
vigorous opposition of T.. s.. G.
Cherry, attorney for The Press, CON
tinued the case to the fall term.
Egan, before the term commenced,
served. notice of trial, and it was
expected thai the east would be
tried some time this month. The
attorneys for The Press had their
defense all prepared and We're eager
to go ahead with it at the present
term.
1t was while evidence was being
taken in preparation for The Press
defense that Egan assaulted Attor-
ney T.. S. G. Cherry in a Sioux City
law office. The deposition of a
young lady was being taken and Mr..
Cherry was seated at a table when
Egan, who was standing, in a fit
OF anger hurled n heavy law book
at MIR. Cherry, striking the latter on
the side of the head and breaking a
cartilage in the ear.
The case just postponed is the sec
ond $4,000 libel suit Egan has
brought against The Press. The first
case was tried last fall, the jury
awarding Egan 81 for damages alleg-
ed to have been done his reputation
in the re-printing by The Press of
an EDITORIAL from a newspaper pub
lished in Iowa, Egan's home state.
Egan was a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for governor of
South Dakota at the time the publi-
cation was made.
In his second libel suit against
The Press, Egan again alleged that
$4,000 worth of damage had been
done his reputation in the reprint
ing by The Press of editorial COM
ments of South Dakota newspapers.
