Did Pirate LATTE Bury Treasure Here?

D GSHOP. TENAS.-The legend that

itte, the notorious buccaneer of the
early part of last century, is buried
upon Padre island has been revived.
This is due to the finding of % long
buried human skeletons in a sand pit
on the bank of the I.egua Madre, about
fifteen miles east of here. Since then
well-preserved pieces of ship timbers
have been uncovered near the grew
some spot. The skeletons were discov-
cred by Thomas Steele and o. S. At
wood of Corpus Christi.
If this group of Inflated men were
members of the crew of Laftte's treas
ure ship the discovery of their skele-
tons bears out the tale that has been
handed down by the descendants of
the native Mexican population of the
Gulf coast region that the pirate chief
did not go TO Yucatan when he left

safety from his avengers by locating
upon Padre island at a point just OPP

Looking Mt the map, one sees that
Nicaragua Is wide compared with
the Isthmus Of Panama. But also
one observes that much Of Its nnr-
rowest part is occupied by an immense
lake, 100 miles long and 40 miles
broad, out of which a large river,
called the San Juan, runs eastward all
the way Of the Caribbean sea. A strip
only IL miles wide separates the lake
from the Pacific ocean; three-fourths
of the rivers length is %navigable, and
thus, as 1t might he said, most of the
digging has already been done by ma
