Arrest to Get Him
Out Of the Game.

Billings, April 24.-Arrested here
Sunday on larceny warrant issued in
Missouri five or six years ago, NJ. +.
Anderson, whose real name is said to be
0. w. Crawford, told Chief OF Police
Talg0 he was the victim of frame
up arranged by a partner who desired
to get him out of the way. so he could
not share in buried treasure amount
ing to $50, 600, which was hidden near
the Wyoming Montana boundary 40
years ago by band of stage robbers.
Long Serach for Hiding Place.
The treasure has not been uncovered.
but Anderson, or Crawford. said he and
the partner had just ascertained it's
| hiding place after years of search
guided by descriptions given them by
the last member Of the robber gang
| who died five years ago in st. Louis.
He fears now that when he js taken
back to Missouri to answer the old
charge, the partner, who is also known
to the police, will go out somewhere
between Hardin mad Sheridan and dig
up the gold.
Revealed by Dying Bandit.
Anderson did not deny that he was
wanted in Pineville, Mo-, nor did lie
deny a further allegation that ne had
jumped bond Of $1,000 posted to as
sure his presence at trial for grand
larceny. But he declared that If it had
not been for the recreant partner, the
only other person now living who is
cognizant of the approximate location
Of the buried treasure. he would not
be in Jail. In proof Of this he cited
the fact that he had been in this section

checking up directions given him by the
dying bandit in St. Louis, while the
Pineville larceny warrant reposed use
lessly in the office Of Sheriff John
Mcleod at Hardin.

| The prisoner was subjected to a Sc

ters but beyond denouncing his partner
in the buried treasure hunt as a be-

When Chief Talgo evinced skepticism
regarding the buried treasure, however.

"There's $1,OOO,OOO buried in this vi
cinity," Talgo said, "if you believe the
tales of the doings of stage robbers.
But 1 haven't seen a dollar of it un-
earthed," he continued.
Four of the Robbers Killed.
"Well this is no myth" Anderson

London, April 24.-The coal dis

pared with any revised wage scale
likely to prove acceptable to tho

In tho hope of movement on tho
