BIG DISAGREEMENT SOON FOLLOWS
Matter Gets into Court-Werd Story
of Yarn Told by Indian

Effinsnam, Ill.-A story equalins
any of the thrillers of the movies, in
Guiding a ten year hunt for a hidden
Aztec treasure, was revealed here In
Justices court when William McCaw
a prominent Fffingham county farm
er was arraigned on charge OF as
ss.ult
For ten years it became known Nc.
Cav and party of Robinson, Ill. citi'
zens have been digging on McCaw S
Effingham county farm for a hidden
Aztec treasure.
Several hundred years ago when
Cortez settled in Mexico, he confiscat-
ed all the treasure of the Aztec In
dams.
A few, however, escaped and came
North. They built several mounds, it
is contended, in Western and Southern
Illinois. In Union Township, this coun
ty, there is such mound.
Twenty years later, according to the
story told in court, McCaw was stand
ing on a street corner in Robinson, Ill.
fumbling a curious stone, bearing In
dian inscriptions. He was approached
By an Indian chief. The sight OF the
stone greatly affected the Indian. In
broken sentences he told the mystery
or the stone, declaring it was an Aztec
treasure stone and revealed the hid
den place of unknown wealth
1t was contended at the trial that
The Indian dropped dead due TO the ex-
element, after his revelation of the
s.one. Following the information given
by the Indian. McCaw came 20 Effing
ham county and purchased the farm
on which the mound is located in I'm
ion Township.
He began digging, worked many
years and spent a good sized fortune,
but was unsuccessful.
A few months ago a party of Robin
son citizens, learning of his purposes,
came to McCaw with a proposition TO
AID in the search for the treasure. In
connection with an agreement to di-
vide the treasure McCaw was to re-
ceive $40 per month for allowing these
men to dig on his farm.
The party, including McCaw, labor
ed day and night for weeks.
Finally the searchers came TO q
heavy slab of rock, which thus far has
withstood several varieties of explos-
ives. 1t was believed that the treasure
was beneath this rock.
Then, it is contended, McCaw, see.
ing a great wealth in his grasp, broke
mis- original agreement and demanded
they move from his farm at the point
OF knife.
One man resisted. McCaw grasped
him around the throat and was about
C sink the knife into him II is said
when the stranger told how he had
saved McCaw from freezing in biz
aard years before in Montana.
Upon hearing that the stranger was
his rescuer, McCaw released him and
decided that the best way to decide the
search for the treasure would be to
place il in court. The charge against
McCaw in court here was dropped
when he announced a compromise, by
which they agreed to return to the
mound, which is supposed to hold the
treasure. Before the contending slab of
stone is upturned, in the presence of
the sheriff and attorneys for both sides
new satisfactory working agreement
will be made.

A FOURTH OF JULY FIRE

What was formerly known as the
Plumer boarding house, on Plumer's
island, and where his saw mill hands
boarded and lodged in earlier days of
lumber activities in Wausau, and it
being one of the old landmarks of
more than half century ago, was
visited by fire at 9:55 O'Clock the
morning of the 4th. The blaze was
first discovered in an addition on the
south side of the main building, the
structure being used for storage pur-
poses of late, the former filled with
baled hay owned by the B. Heine-
mann Lumber Co., and electrical de-
vices owned by the Marathon Electric
Mfg. Co., and the latter with goods
and devices owned by the Wisconsin
Valley Electric Co. Nos. 1, 2 and 3
quickly responded and during the re-
moving OF the contents and two hours
labor of the fire lads the fire was got
ten under full control. At one time
it appeared as though the structures
were doomed to complete destruction,
but heroic efforts prevailed on the
part of the fire fighters and thus a
more serious loss was averted. The
main building in it's early years was
constructed of the best of white pine
lumber aud timbers and other ma
terials, and was and still is one of
the most substantial structure in the
city and is still in good state of
preservation; Notwithstanding it's
scorched and blackened appearance it
can easily be repaired for further stor-
age purposes. The building in which
the fire originated is hardly worth
time and money spent on its recon-
Struction.
The Wisconsin Valley Electric Co.
are owners of the property and upon
which company the loss falls, there
being no insurance upon it. The
damage, however, is considered i'm
material to the owners.
The origin of the fire cannot be
accounted for, all indications pointing
to various causes.

New York August S1-Money was the paramount factor of the more active week in the stock market, even the stir- ring war news being wholly suborci- mated to that issue
 Previous warnings against speculative use of bank loans, were supplemented by the statement of the head of the local money pool, which threatened oppressive measure in the form of higher rates
 few market leaders improved upon the previous weeks high records for the year, notably United States Steel and other industrials, also Canadian Pacific and several other high grade rails.
 The vast improvement in the foreign situation Was expressed in the strength of exchange On virtually all the countries of the entente powers. remittances to Paris mounting to highest quotations since the n.ddle of 1915.
 It wa-saccepted as more than ordinarily significant also that exchange on the neutral countries meanwhile worked steadily in favor of this center, the move- ment being associated with recent poiiti- cal developments in northern Europe and Spain.
 The advent of September is expected to bring the impending Liberty Loan to the forefront. Outstanding issues were heavy on large transactions, the 3]zs re- linquishing much of their recent advance.
