coming in just as fast as he could ham
die them in spite of the rain. II it

swamped with work.
The booth will be open at Blum's Mon

ment of poll taxes was showing steady

$50, 900 POT OF GOLD
SEEKERS DO NOT SHOW
UP SATURDAY NIGHT
Will Watch Again for Negro
Who Tries to Conjure
Fortune From Earth.

Deputy Sheriffs Speer and Cooper
returned to San Antonio empty-handed
Sunday morning, after spending the
night on the Wagner farm, on the Sc
gum, road, near the Salado creek, in
an effort to apprehend two white men
and negro, who it had been reported
we're endeavoring TO lure an $4,000
pot of gold" from the earth. Although
the deputies, in company with W. C.,
Wagner, owner Of the farm, sat up in
Ill the wee small hours of the morning,
the trio did not appear. Information
received by Mr.. Wagner, however, was
TO the effect that the three men would
return Monday night and the deputy
shriffs will return TO the scene.
According to Deputy Sheriff Cooper,
the two white men involved in the
search are well known business men Of
San Antonio The negro, he says, is a
nan who has attracted the attention
of tn" sheriff's department on pervious
occasions.
Arriving at the Wagner farm, the
deputies said, they were shown large
hole which had been dug during two
nights the three men had worked at the
spot. Occupants of the Wagner farm
described the rites performed by the
negro in an effort to bring forth the
pot OF gold" as very mysterious and
impressive. 1t was the negro, they said,
who read from the Bible and muttered
urintelligible sounds, while the two
white men did the digging.
According to reports at the sheriff's
office. the three men had appeared at
the Wagner farm on Thursday and Fri
day nights, telling Wagner that they
were after an $4,000 pot of gold," and
seeking his assistance in getting it. 1t
was when they requested that he
plant" some money in the hole that be
became suspicious and notified the
sheriff's office.
