This story is true as the man who
told it is in an official position to
know, and he says il is true. Not very
long ago two men sold their ranches,
one receiving $1,000 in gold coin and
the other not quite so large sum.
Not having confidence in banks or
any one else, they decided to bury the
gold just for safe keeping. They bunch
cd interests and placed their gold coin
together under n woodshed in a hold
in the ground. Then becoming fearful,
they dug q hole and placed it all to-
gether under blackberry bush. Then
from time to time they carried the
coin to a bank, depositing in small
amounts. One man finally got all his
coin in the bank, and the other got
down as low as about $1,000. Finally
he decided to put this in the bank also
but when dug into the hole in the
ground, the balance of $1,000 was miss
ing, Just now the problem is where 10
