 Little is known 0f his past except that he was born in Virginia. After his. capture in West Plains for the murder of Marshal Sitton, Boiling said he came to this section of Mis- souri in 1916 to look for treasure concealed somewhere in the Ozarks by Indians who came from Virginia.
 They had received $3,000,000 in gold from the State of Virginia and stasa'ted West, he said. Their trail lied through this section and 1t IS said they buried their gold in the Ozarks on Jacks Fork of Current river north of Monteer
 Boiling said he located place on Rymer's ranch on North Fork with mineral rod in 1916, but having no tools to unearth the treasure, he marked the location, intending to re- turn. He was soon afterward arrest ed for stealing horse in Garter county and was sentenced to- the state penitentiary for five years. Boiling was released from prison November 10, and appeared at Mon teer 10 days later. The Mcclellan store at Monteer was robbed ana Boiling was suspected. A justice ot the peace wired description of Boiling to Winona and when Mar- shal Sitton undertook to arrest bol- ling the latter shot and kllled nm,
 Boiling fled to the woods and ied the sheriff's posse quite chase Tor several days. He was arrested at West Plains by Deputy Sheriff Hol- linshead and posse.
