MONEY is BURIED
ALL OVER THE FARM
pErATIVES OF AGED WOMAN
NEARLY WRECK HOUSES IN
SEARCH FOR $4,000.

HUNTSVILLE, Ark.-In the heart
~ the isolated Ozark hills far from
N. railroads, the movies and other
t,-ms of civilization "Aunt Ann"
lr,vljns lived alone for many years
n her modntain home.
Her few neighbors and her many
..ls-;ves called her a miser.
Ike so many OF the Ozark noun
ta,reers, she trusted no one, and open
Il, yoiced her hatred for all her rela-
t,yas saving she hoped they never
,.orId get a dollar of her money.
They found her dead the other day.
There was no will but much wealth,
,,r her father had left her $4,000 in
-s.h in 1895 and for thirty years she
ba, spent almost nothing.
The funeral was no sooner over
tfan relatives began to swarm to the
f;+Ae mountain home to claim their
.hare OF Aunt AIMS" fortune
The relatives soon found that Aunt
Ann" in her efforts to keep relatives
from getting her money had hidden it
al over her home and little farm.
great money hunt began at once.
The house and farm are almost
wrecked but the hunt for gold con-
tinres. SO far about $4,000 of the $70,-
009 believed secreted on the place
have been found.
The money was hidden in every
conceivable place.
When the great eight-foot walnut
martlepiece was removed from the
wall gold worth $1,000 tumbled out
The native stone hearth was torn
I'D and beneath it was found a can
of gold. An old gourd i'll the kitchen,
when emptied of string, netted SIS.
Coins worth $129 were found in the
cellar.
A sack of old ginned cotton was
worked over by hand and gave up
many gold pieces.
Excitement prevailed when some
one found an old pocketbook contain
inc $1,000 in bills-but this proved to
he worthless Confederate money.
More gold was found in the crew
ice, of an old four-poster bed on
which Aunt Ann" died.
In an old pouch two ancient gold
bracelets, Deautl1ully carved ana ull-
doubtedly the height OF fashion in CO.
lonial days, were found.
The search for gold is being made
under the direction of court with the
provision that all of Aunt AIMS
relatives must share equally in what
ever wealth is found.
Immediately after her fathers death
in 1895 Aunt Ann" then 81, refused
to let any of her relatives come on
the farm.
Her fathers threshing machine lies
today where he left it more than 50
years ago.
Aunt Ann" once sold a copper ket-
tie to a revenue agent for $500 He
gave her a bogus check and after that
She refused to allow anything to be
removed from the farm.
