HIS BURIED TREASURE DISAP-
FEARED.
DIR. A. w. Reynolds Buries Large Sum
of Money and Thief I'm
earthS 1t.

DR.. A. w. Reynolds of Caledonia is
shy somewhere between S245O and
$500 as result of someone discov-
ering the hiding place of his roll. :"
DR.. Reynolds does quite an extensive
loan business in the south part of the
county and on August a payment
was made to him of over $4,000. The
next day DR.. Reynolds was to go to
St. Joe with a patient for an opera
ton and as he would leave here be-
fore banking hours and he didn't
want to take such large sum with
him, he was perplexed as to whatdis-
position he should make OF the mon
ey. According to the doctor, he
awoke about three o'clock the follow
ing morning with the matter still
upon his mini and he arose and took
fruit jar, and buried it in a flower
bed about eight feet from the front
porch. Last Sunday neighbor came
to the Reynolds home and wanted to
make loan and Dr.. Reynolds told
him to return the following day and
he could have the money. Shortly at
ter he left Reynolds went to the hid
ing place and discovered that the
money was missing.
No theories have been advanced by
DR.. Reynolds as to who could have
taken the money. During his absence
at St. Joe his daughter slept on the
porch which was few feet from the
hiding place and he does not think
anyone could have taken it while she
was there. In the day members Of
the family were about the house all
the time and it is not likely that any
one could have gotten the money
without being seen. A great deal Of
mystery surrounds the case and the
authorities as we'll as Dr.. Reynolds
are bafiled. 1t has been known for
years that DR.. Reynolds always had a
large sum Of money buried on his
place and it is probable that someone
has been Systematically watching for
it for long time. He was unable
to state the exact amount OF his loss
but placed it some where between
S245O and $500, about $500 of
which was gold and the balance cur
rency, for the most part 500 bills

to keep the commission In ignorance OF

these things has been largely due to tho
close relations now existing between
these two companies. The commission

After lingering about three
days from conclusion of the
brain, the venerable Mr.. Antoine
Pfster succumbed from his
wound on Friday, Sept. 22d at
seven o'clock. On Wednesday
morning the old gentleman who
occupied rooms in the Clerc
building over the Miguel liquor
establishment had occasion to en-
ter the lower floor and through
some unaccountable manner lost
his balance and fell fiat on the
cement flooring, inflicting such a
serious wound that the unfort-
innate man could not overcome it.
Deceased was well known in New
Iberia. having resided here some
fifteen years, following the occu-
patton of a baker. From what
we learn he was at the time of
the accident in the employ of Mr..
John Crouchet, although for up
wards Of six or eight years was in
the employ of the Lamperez
bakery. He was a native of
France.
