COLD LIEs BURIED
Treasure Hidden In Texas Not
Found by Searohers.
Spanish Loot Was obtalnsd During
Victorious March Of Mexleans
Under Santa Anna In 1854.

One OF the stories of buried treasure
known to every old Texan, and par
hcularly to Mexicans, 10 that relating
to vast sum In Spanish gold and Jew
elry buried at the root Of q tree near
what Is now Summit Place.
The story deals with the victorious
march Of the Mexican troops under
Santa Anna in 1885. when. after the
Alamo and after Goliad. they went to
meet the little band Of Texas patriots
~ san Jacinto. On the march follow
ers Of the Mexican leader are said to
have possessed themselves Of money
and jewelry In large quantities. Santa
Anna is declared to have condscated
all this wealth. intending later to re-
store 1t to its owners.
But Santa Anna never had the op-
portunity. Gen. Sam Houston met the
Mexicans at San Jacinto and before
the sun had set on April Fl the Tex
ans had routed the Mexicans. Sant1
Anna and large part Of his forces
were taken prisoners, but not all OF
them. The estreasure bearers are said
to have escaped and started for Mex
leo. On arrival at San Antonio. where
news Of the decisive defeat Of Santa
Anna had been received. they were
afraid to venture farther with their
precious burden.
Beside a gnarled oak to the north OF
San Antonio. some distance from the
Camino Real. the men are said to have
buried the treasure. This oak tree II

date gold hunters have dug In search
Of the pile.
On Salinas street San Antonio. are
two ramshackle huts accredited with
holding . fortune Of gold and silver.
One Of them. at least seventy-hve
years Of age. was once the haunt Of
band Of French freebooters, whose
leader wore huge black beard. These
men, the legend says, used to absent
themselves from San Antonio for days
at q time. and their return always CO
incided with stories Of wagon trains
being held up and looted. The re-
port says they buried much OF their
loot In the floor Of the adobe hut. and
searchers for 1t have appeared on and
on for half a century. The most re-
cent was half-Indian medicine man..
who came there from San Marcos
about three years ago. The man car
ried a divining rod and sought to To-
cate the treasure by its means. The
various holes he and others dug are
still visible.
