Go Gold Hunting
in Kingman, Kans.
Old Time Story of Buried Treasures
Has It's Annual Crop of Curiosity
and Treasure Hunters.
(By Associated Press)

(By Associated Pressl 2eUt .5z
lKingman, Kas.-The farm of John
Ford. in the southern part of this
county is the site of a buried treasure
mystery which is periodically revived
by persons who go there seeking a
chest containing $4,000 in gold.
The story is still fresh in the minds
of the older settlers here, many of
whom say they believe the chest oc-
cupies the cache where it was secreted
fifty years ago by an army paymaster
when he and his detail were attacked
by Commache Indians and later killed.
The paymaster and his men were en-
route to an army post to pay the sol
diers. They are supposed to have been
camped near two big springs on the
Ford farm when the attack was made.
Both springs were we'll known stop
ping places in the day of the prairie
schooner and cattle trail and it is to
them the present day treasure seekers
go in their quest of fortune. The in
formation of all seems to agree on
one point-that the gold was buried
near the springs but each person has
a different report as to the exact loca-
ton.
Years ago many Indians went there
to search, inspired by the tale of an
old Oklahoma Commache, who claimed
to have been in the band that massa-
cred the army men. But with his death
the Indians stopped coming.
~
tract the white man and scarcely a
summer passes that some prospector
fails to spend few days delving here
and poking there in the earth about
the old springs.

ORDERS FATHER
TO KEEP CHILD
Bert Lathrop is Ordered to
Pay for Support of Son,
Calvin Lathrop.
WIFE GETS ORDERS TOO

Bert Lathrop, a we'll known resident
of Powers Lake, is of the opinion that
the wheels of justice are always grind
ing to his disadvantage. In the NUM-
cipal court on Monday afternoon, he
was ordered to pay 500 back payments
and Sc each week for the support of
his child, Calvin Lathrop, boy now
living with Mrs. Alma May, Lathrop's
former wife, who secured a divorce
several years ago.
The irony in the case comes from
the fact that Lathrop has also re-
married since his divorce. His wife
is also a divoreee and has a daughter
fourteen years old. Lathrop is also
obliged to support this child by rea-
son of the fact that his present wife's
former husband was not ordered by
the court to pay for the support Of
his child.
An Interesting Case.
The court room had an Interesting
battle when the case was called for
trial on Monday. Lathrop was hailed
into court to pay 1928 for the support
Oh MS EnlIQs DuI Wnen through ms at
torney, Calvin Stewart, it was demon
strated that the mother of the child
had made it impossible for Lathrop to
visit the boy as the court had directed,
the allowance was cut to 500. Lath-
rop was ordered to start Sc a week
payments for the support of the boy
but only on the provisions that he
should spend his school vacations with
his father. &
This agreement was satisfactory to-
both parties. In addition Lathrop was
ordered to pay for the costs of the
action.
Court Makes Ruling.
Judge Tully in handing down a deci-
sion in the case held that as long as
the child was kept in Kenosha so rs
the father might visit as often as the
order Of the court allowed, Lathrop
was obliged to pay back alimony. For
this same reason he excused Lathrop
from the payment of 1925 back pay
ments as claimed by the wife in the
complaint presented by her attorney,
George W. Taylor.

NO STAR FOR
LEGION HEAD
Sheriff Rauen Refuses Star
as Deputy Sheriff for
Gerald Cooper.
PERHAPS JUST POLITICS

Gerald c. Cooper, commander of the
Kenosha Post of the American Legion,
is no longer wearing the star of a
deputy sheriff of Kenosha county,
And thereby hangs tale!
This was the new bombshell thrown
today into the agitation now surround
ing the management of the office Of
the sheriff Of Kenosha county. In a
roundabout way it was learned that
former Deputy Sheriff Cooper had
early in the year made application for
the renewal Of his appointment and had
been summarily refused by the sheriff.
Former Deputy Sheriff Cooper had
served under several sheriffs for a
number of years. He desired the star
especially because he used it in pro-
tecting the payroll of the Cooper com
pany when it was brought from the
bank to the Offices of the company.
Friends of Cooper's could see no
reason why this courtesy should not
be extended.
