County Attorney Bryson appeared for
the local merchants. The hearing was
had before Judge C. M. Wheeler, who
took the case under advisement and

case is one of interest to merchants
over the state since the action was

Why Tolerate CatarTh!

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg-

catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings Of the nasal

To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos

It was found that for many years
James Maxwell had lived in the place,
that he was reported to be wealthy
and that II was said he sometimes
buried money. Mr.. Maxwell died about
fifteen years ago, was killed In an llli-
nois Central crossing accident near the
Johnston school house. The property
went to his son, Alexander Maxwell.
who has since died, and Is now In the
hands of an administrator, John Broes-
sci, who lives near Peosta.
Mr.. Datisman arrived at the con-
clusion that the money had been buried
by the senior Maxwell and that 1t now
belongs to the heirs Of the Maxwell
estate. Tho no one knew of his find
and he might have kept it profound
secret, might have kept the money, he
made trip to Peostalan there turned
over to the administrator the thousand
dollars.
A number Of the coins bore dates OF
more than fifty years back. The latest
date on any of them was 1885," on one
of the IS pieces. From this it Is evil
dent that Mr.. Maxwell buried the
money as late as 1900 which was but
year or two before his death. or
1t may be that he had it buried there
long time prior to that time and SIM
ply made additions to his store as ne
came into possession of gold coins.
Mr.. Datisman is painter and pa
perhanger as stated before Is in mod
crate circumstances as is evidenced by
the fact that he is living in a rented
house in small inland town. Regard
less of the fact that he could have
made good use of the thousand dol
lars and no one would ever have been
the wiser, he preferred clear con-
science and turned the money over to
the Maxwell estate.
