Digging For Diamonds

A small patch of fresh turned earth
about the size OF a grave in field on
the farm of the Moore heirs, two
miles northwest of Charles Town, on
the Leetown road. excited the curiosity
and interest of the neighbOrhood few
days ago Port Moore, the first to dis
cover it, had no difficulty in enliSting
neighbOrs in the task of unearthing
whatever might be found under the
interesting little plot. With their aid.
he went 10 work, using shovclS in
throwing the loose dirt off the sought
for mystery. They toiled with a vim
and enthusiasm that deserved a rich
reward. Getting down to a depth of
two feet, the SearcherS found the earth
still loose, with no evidence of hidden
treasure in sight. Down they went to
depth of five feet, where the diggers
touched hard clay and found nothing.
Treasure hunters have again been
busy out at old ST. Georges Chapel.
Folks in the neighborhood visiting the
old ruins few days ago found a trench
several feet in length and foot or two
deep eXcavated outside the dismantled
walls. Who had done the excavating
and the motive for it are mysteries too
deep for anybody to fathom. Thirty
years or more ago, longer trench was
excavated inside the walls, and was
left open by the searchers. Shortly
after the War Between the States it
became rumored in the vicinity of
Charles Town that an army paymaster
enroute from Washington to one of
the Union armies in the upper Shenan-
doah Valley, fearing capture by the
enemy, buried an immense bale of
greenbacks near the walls of the old
church ruins. The paymaster was
actually captured, and according to the
rumor quoted, never came back to re-
claim the money.-Charles Town Ad-

Fred Chute, aged about "a years,
chief electrician with the Sanderson-
Porter Construction o., installing the
new equipment at Millville, this coun-
ty, for the Northern Virginia Power
Co., was electrocuted at that place last
Sunday afternoon. Electrician Chute
had been down in the 20-foot pit be-
meath the new turbine at the steam
plant, doing some wiring. He was
compelled to stand in the water, max
ing him all the more susceptible to the
electric current, and, touching a wire
on attempting to leave the place, was
Immediately subjected to heavy
shock. Although the wire that he
touched carried but 220 volts, the fact
that he stood in water doubled its
force, and he also suffered from weak
heart. Dr. T. K. Oates, Of the City
Hospital in Martinsburg, accompanied
by Marvin Hawk, of the Potomac Pow
er Co., and Carlton L. Tabler. motored
to the scene of the accident with the
hospitals, pumoter. hoping to resus-
citate the stricken man, but all efforts
were futile and he soon expired. The
deceased has daughter in Canada
and other relatives in Boston, his old
! home.
