GHOSTS GOLD
LURES FARMERS
ON QUEER HUNT
Eight Let Crops Rot While
They Dig for Coveted
Treasure.
Copprtoht. 1925. NEA Serrics

CORNING, Ark, Oct. 13.-Bearded
mud-spattered and armed TO the
teeth. eight Arkansas farmers have
left their crops to rot in the fields
and are sinking a twenty-seven-foot
shaft in a river bottom quagmire to
get chest of buried gold that only
the ghosts have seen.
How do they know the gold is
there? The spirit world says so!
There is in this town a young girl
who. it is said, communes with the
spirits. She was born, her parents
say. with veil over her face; and
when she talks with the unseen
phantoms Of the other world she
draws a veil over her eyes and goes
into a sort of trance.
She Sees Chest
This girl told the eight farmers
that through the phantoms she saw
a chest Of gold and silver buried be-
meath the earth. She could see
through the chest, she said, ard
could make out the dates on some

described its location by landmarks
so that the men fixed on 1t as a
small, marshy island in the Black
River, near here.
That was a year ago. Last fall
they made several excavations, I'M
successfully. Then winter stopped
them. In the spring they went to
other mediums. These agreed that
the gold was there and gave more
explicit directions; so this year the
men dug a new shaft a little dis
lance away from the old ones.
Live in Tents
The eight men and their families
are living in tents beside the shaft.
Their farms go INTENDED; their crops
are rotting, ungarnered.
There is collection of rifles and
revolvers in their camp that makes
1t look like small arsenal. They
have sentries posted constantly and
they have announced that II any

The tusk was several feet long
and was from the hairy mammoth

Digging Ia Slow
The shaft is now twenty seven feet
deep. Digging it is slow, laborious
work, because the soil is little bet

has been absolutely no trace of any

not discouraged.
When the chest is found it's con-
