Worknnen Unearth
Bag of Gold Coins
With Old Skeleton
Especial to Washington HeraIdD

Wheeling. w. Va. Aug. 3O.-Ex-
cavators at work on Wheeling Is
land yesterday unearthed a bag Of
gold coins and further digging at
the same spot revealed parts Of a
human skeleton.
Old citizens of Wheeling today
explained the find when the burial
of a wealthy Chinese laundryman
on the island twenty years ago was
recalled.
He was buried by fellow coun-
trymen on the island at dead Of
night and the money placed over
his casket in the belief that he
would need ready cash when he
reached Paradise.
The money, which amounted to
about $40, was divided among the
workmen.
Two of the negro workmen re-
fused to accept their share Of the
treasure and refused to dig any
more in that part of the island.
