 GOLD, O0DLES OF IT,
 UNEARTHED IN WELL

N YOUNGSTOWN, O., April 3.-An iron pot containing $115,O00 in gold coins has been unearthed in an aban- doned well on the Isaac Shaffer farm in Lawrence County near Hillsville, Pa.
 Employees of a limestone company were blasting lime stone, and, coming to the we'll, set off charge which sent shower of gold coins skyward. The story of the burying of the treasure 30 years ago came to light to- day with it's discovery.
 In 1888 Isaac Shaffer, a rich cattle buyer, died. Stricken by apoplexy, he managed to humble "gold," motioned toward his farm and fell dead. During the last 30 years his heirs have explored the farm many times hoping to find the treasure.
 Following the discovery of the gold it was deposited in a New Castel, Pa, bank by the workmen who unearthed it. Heirs of Shaffer, many of whom are said to live in Lawrence County, later claimed the treasure.

 Another gun brought in was pur- chased in New York State in 1737, and is declared to have seen serv- ice in the Revolutionary War, the var of 1912 and the Civil War. It las been in this state 35 years.

Scott Harrison of this city.
 Among the guns registered at Dill lon is oneNthat belonged to Henry Plumer, the Sheriff bandit of pio- neer days in this state. When he was hanged it was turned over to one of PTumer's creditors. A col lection of firearms also was regis tered at Dillon. which includes guns dating as far back as the discovery of America.
