Finally a resolution was adopted

that even the identity of the victim
was matter of uncertainty.
Following swiftly upon the story of
Maria Collins Porter came the arrest
Of Bates Huntsman, Sam Scrivner, n
rich farmer, and John and Hank
Damewood. They were charged with
the murder of man of unknown iden-
tity, presumably rich cattle buyer
from Missouri, 46 years ago. Even be-
fore the trial began speculation as to
the identity of the murdered man be-
came rife. Although there were found
to be many contradictions in the evil
dence presented by some of the wit
nesses the case Of the state might
have proceeded further but for one of
the primary technicalities of the law
Of homicide. The state could not es-
tablish the existence of the man al
legged to have been killed. The young
attorney for the aged defendants only
had to move that the case be dis
missed to have this action taken.

SEARCH LONG FOR
BURIED TREASURE

suddenly. Samuel Anderson, weary
ing of long waiting for his share Of
the treasure he believed he had uncov-
cred, filed suit against Bates Hunts
man, asking pay for his years Of toll.
So peculiar was his story that state
officials became interested. An inves-
tigation followed and other persons
acquainted with some of the circum-
stances of the affair were found. One
of these was Maria Collins Porter of
Quitman, Mo-, who spent her girlhood
in the vicinity.
The woman's story seemed to throw
clear light on the source of the treas
ure the Huntsmans had sought so
long. The story, too, seemed to link
the treasure with the hoard found in
the cabin Of old DR.. A. M. Golllday of

HARMONY

1t is beautiful and blessed world
we live in. The flowers blossom in
obedience to the same law that keeps
the stars in their places. Each bird
song is an echo of the universal har-
mony. 1t is humanity which thrusts
discords, and false and Earring notes
into the days. We go out into the
beautiful morning carrying our useless
loads of frets and worries, our left
over resentments and our faithless
fears. The sunshine assures us that the
world is still moving safely in Its ap-
pointed course and God has not for
gotten us; the birds lift their cheering
notes of rejoicing that they have found
food for the day, but we lift complain
ing voices because we have not found
provisions for years to come. Our
moody spirits and Earring tempers
hurt the love on earth and In heaven.
But they hurt our own souls most Of
all. for they put us out of tune with
the music Of the universe.

Hidden Fortune Has Lured Men

on Iowa Farm.
TRAGEDY WOVEN IN ROMANCE
Murder Of Man 46 Years Ago Brings
Strange Characters Into
Court-Mystery Yet
to Be Solved.

Bedford, lathe mystery Of hid
den treasure, mystery that has puz-
zled the people of southwestern Iowa
for half century, has been brought
nearer solution by an investigation
which has shown how little group
of picturesque characters of that Sec
ton Of the state toiled for years in
quest of riches buried, according to
tradition, on the Klondike farm.
Lying 10 miles southwest of Bed
ford, Ia, is the Huntsman farm, and
adjoining 1t is the Anderson home
stead. Pitted with holes and Scared
with many excavations, the farms
prove the arduous toll of men driven
by dreams of gold. First it was DR..

Bates, who searched for the treasure.
Now 1t is Bates and his two sons
and their families.
Searching for the Treasure.
Samuel Anderson moved to Iowa in
the early seventies. Soon after he To-
Gated on the farm Anderson received
call from the Huntsmans, who told
on the place and that they wanted to
dig for 1t. Anderson was asked to
aid in the work. For nearly quarter
century the three dug, plowed and eX-
cavated.
One day II years ago the searchers
uncovered three stakes set in direct
line pointing to spring. Anderson,
inspired by the vision of his share of
the fortune, dug on feverishly. He
first came onto some white sand that
he knew was not common to that part
of the country. Anderson then uncov-
cred big rock, under which was q
metal box. One of the Huntsmans
told Anderson that he could go, prom.

when the money was counted. He
never saw the box again nor learned
of its contents.

1. A loved one Ill ". BOY. From the
synagogue Jesus with James and John
went to the home of Peter and Andrew
where he found Peters mother-in-law
PROSTATE with a burning fever. Among
the closest followers there are suffer-
ing ones and anxious and burdened
hearts, but to all such he comes with
loving sympathy and power to help.
His power is the same in the quietude
Of the home as In the public meeting
place.

was the proper thing to do. We should
bring to our Saviour's attention those
Of our families who have need, Of both
bodily and spiritual healing.
8. He healed her ". BY. "He came
and took her by the hand and lifted
her up" This oct showed the near

departed and strength was impaired to
her body so that she was at once able

This act shows that (1) the cure was
instantaneous and complete. When
Jesus heals there is no halfway busi'

healing. (2) Gratitude on the part Of
the one healed. Those who have ex-

1t became noised about that nota.
BILE miracle had been wrought in Peters
home, therefore as soon as the Sab
bath drew to close many demon
possessed and diseased were brought
to him to be healed. If we would
have the crowds to gather today we
must be able to show that Jesus ID at
work among us. Our testimony should
be backed by the healed body or soul.
1. He healed those of divers dis
eases ". 34). Jesus can heal any dis
ease. Many Of the cures spoken Of to-
day are temperamental, but the cures
wrought by Jesus were of all sorts.
No malady ever baf1ed him.
2. Cast out many devils ". 34). The
devils obey him. There is no record
of a demon ever disputing the author
ity of Jesus. At his command they
rendered instant obedience.
3. Suffered not the devils to speak
". 34). He bids the saved soul wit

allow the devils to speak in challenge
of his authority or in witness Of the
truth of his deity.
