RANCHERS HUNTING
FRANTICALLi FOR
BURIED TREASURE
R. F. Kirkpatrick and Gang Of Men
Searching Reservation Lands for
Hidden Gold.
QUEST THUS FAR is IN VAIN
Old Indian Woman Tells Story OF
Having Buried Can OF Gold Many
Years Ago-Aged Squaw Is Near
Death-Ground All About De-
scribed spot il Plowed Under.

r. f. Kirkpatrick, claimant to the
title Of mayor OF Pendleton, has
turned fortune hunter and. with a
crew from his ranch. is hunting for
buried treasure on the reservation
with all the fervor that animated
Long John Silver and his coveteous
associates. Plows. scrapers. picks
and shoyels are being employed in
the search for an aged squaw's hid
den wealth but up TO date the quest
has been a vain one.
The search resulted from the story
told by Ko-ko-ye an old In
dian woman who is near death. that
she had buried a can OF gold many
years ago near her old tepee about
a mile and a half above the agency
Her land is rented by the Kirkpat-
ricks and her son, John Mitchell, en-
listed their help in the search for
the buried money According to
her story. she buried the gold in a
can about two feet deep in the ground
about 10 years ago. She tied a string
10 the can. bringing it to the surface
OF the ground so that she could tell
the exact spot where her money lay
hidden.
The string. however. has rotted
away and II seems the old woman
has either forgotten the exact spot
or is too sick TO give the information.
Yesterday she was taken out in an
automobile I'm an effort to have her
point out the burial place OF the
treasure but she was apparently too
feeble to do so.
Mr.. kirkpatrick with his sons and
hired hands and John Mitchell have
plowed up the ground all about the
site of her old tepee and then used
scrapers to remove the earth but to
date their efforts TO find the can
have been futile.
One report has It that the old
woman has recovered one can in
which was S11OO in gold and which
was buried only recently but this re-
port is not verified. Supt Swartz.
lander made an investigation this
and states that all OF the
Information he could obtain leads
him TO believe that no money has
vet been found. However the
search is not yet over.

KANSAS MAN WOULD SAVE
ROUNDUP HORSE FROM WAR
APPEAL Is MADE ON BEHALF OF
"CYRUS NOBLE" SOLD TO
FRENCH ARMY.

"Cyrus Noble" the Roundup
bucking outlaw horse recently sold
TO buyer of cavalry horses for the
French government, has enlisted the
sympathies of a man in Leavenworth
Kansas who is appealing to Post
master Tweedy to help him save the
animal from death before the Ger
man guns. incidentally this man
Jim Bradley by name, doesn't think
much of the Pendleton people for
permitting the little bucker to be
sacrificed to war.
Here is copy of a letter received
by the postmaster this morning to-
gether with clipping from the Kan
sas City Times telling under Pen
dleton date line, of the sale o;
Cyrus" to the French:
Leavenworth, Kansas.
Postmaster, Pendleton:
If the enclosed newspaper clipping
is true. bunch of us who once used
to know that country want to ask
What kind of tinhorns are you rails
ing there now that you want to send
this little horse to his death? Help
to stop II if YOU are a man.
JIM BRADLEY.
Far from having his sympathies
aroused for the little animal, Post.
master Tweedy, who has seen said
animal in action at the Roundup,
declares his sympathles are entirely
with the French cavalryman who
tries to ride "Cyrus" into battle,

REPORTS RECEIVED CONFLICT
According TO Word from Brazilian
Minister, Who Has Charge OF Am
erican Affairs, obregOn Left the

qulry Into Death Ordered.

WASHINGTON, March f2-John

In cold blood and his body riddled by
Zapatlsta troops In Mexico City. This
was the declaration OF the Brazilian
minister in an official dispatch TO the
state department. Before he was
slain, the legation seal had been plac-
cd ON his house and he had protection
of the stars and stripes flying over IL
at the time OF the outrage. These
details OF murder were withheld when
the department first announced the
death. They leaked out. later and the
department verified them.
The incident presented such an al
arming aspect In the Mexican stu
alton that an entire cabinet meeting
was devoted 60 It's discussion. Ad-
mlnlstratiOn heads felt the McManus
affair indicated that Zapata might
become n source OF danger despite his
prompt disavOwal OF the murder and
promise OF punishment Later ad-
vices indicate the danger OF Zapata
not being able to control his own
troops.
WASHINGTON. March 12.-The
troops Of General obregon have evac-
uated Mexico City and General "a
pata's forces have occupied Il. one
American and several Spaniards we're
killed during the transfer OF author
ity.
This Is the situation IN the Mexi
can capital as outlined In dispatches
received by the state department.
The Brazilian minister who has
charge OF American affairs. advised
the department that the Carranzista
troops withdrew on Wednesday night.
The principal interest so far as the
American government Is concerned. Is
the killing OF John McManus by the
Zapatistas Reports OF this tragedy
are conflicting. Some said the Zapa- !
tistas. entering the capital before
daylight. fired McManus house and
killed him when he offered resist
Bnce.
WASHINGTON. March 12.-The
state department received a dispatch I
today from the Brazilian minister at
Mexico City announcing that John
McManus. an American. had been
killed by Zapatistas who are occupy
ing the capital: Indications were
that he was ttacked while defending
his house. The zapatistas accused
him Of staying several OF their num-
ber when they evacuated the city
some weeks ago.
The state department at once ask
ed the Brizilian minister to demand
from Zapata full satisfaction and the
punishment OF the men responsible
for the killing. 1t was stated that a
message had been received from Ia
pata himself expressing regret at the
occurance and promising that the
cuiprlt will be punished. Details OF
the affair. however. are lacking. u
Dispatches made It plain that the
Zapatistas are now occupying Mexi-
co City and that the Carranzistatroops

. WASHINGTON. March 12.-Pre-

dent Wilson from agents OF the gov
ernment at Newport News declared
that the sinking OF the American
ship william p Frye by the Ger
man converted cruiser Eitel Fried

It Is considered here that when

A mere resumption OF responsible

not be considered sufficient on the
Part of Germany by this government
Germany will be expected to disavow

some official way. Although the lat

government, no breach OF relations Is
expected to occur as Germany will

AMSTERDAM. March 12.-That
Germany regards the sinking OF the
American ship Frye by the cruiser
Eitel Friedrich as unwarranted is
reported in dispatches from Berlin.
The news has created a painful Inn
preston in German official circles
A strong protest is expected from
Washington. II will be received in
a conciliatory spirit. Washington
will be advised that the unfortunate
zeal Of an excitable captain" was re-
sponsible for the affair.
Until recently indirect reports
have been received from the Eitel.
These did not mention any attack on
neutral ships. The censor has not
yet permitted the Berlin press to
mention the Frye incident. Il was
