Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. li.-P)-'
Although the Milwaukee Brewers
lost two sterling players in the sale
Of Outficldcr Fred Schultz to the st.
Louis Browns and Outfielder Lance
Richbourg to the Boston Braves,
Milwaukee fans arc confident that
their 1927 entry will make another
redhot bid for the American Associ-
alton pennant. Last year the club,
off 10 n poor start, startled the base
ball world in June by winning y
straight games and climbing from
seventh to first place. From there
TO the finish the team was in the
thick Of the championship fight but
was nosed Oft by Louisville IN the
last week Of the race.
With the exception Of Schultz,
Richhoure and Pitcher Charley
Robertson drafted by the Braves,
Manager JACK Lclivclr's 1926 lineup
remains intact. McMenemy and

Taxes totaling $2l6,770.61 were COL
lected for the city Of Bismarck dur
ing 1926, by the county treasurer's
office, according to records in that Of

much as the total Of taxes collected
for the city during 1926, which was
$81, 12O.81, although the amount levied
that year was practically the same as
that for the year just passed, and
city officials attribute this in a great
measure to the efficiency of County

Seek Treasure TrOUe
in Bermuda Islands

A touch of romance is given TO Ber-
muda by traditions of buried treasure
which abound there. Several of the
islands are said to have been used by
the Spaniards in early times for hid
ing their surplus wealth, notably Ire
land island, now a British naval sta
ton; Cooper's island, near the old town
of st. Georges, and Spanish Point, two
miles from Hamilton. Accounts of
golden crosses and pieces of eight hav-
ing been found along the shore still
exist in ancient records On one Oc-
casion a number of Spanish gold coins
were discovered at a spot afterward
called Money Place Rock. 1t is known
that in the early days of Atlantic nav
igatiOn galleOns, often richly loaded,
used Bermuda as a landmark while
on their way from South America and
the West Indies to Spain by way of
the Azores. Owing to the existence
of many coral reefs off the Bermuda
coast, these vessels were occasionally
wrecked, and now lie beneath the
coral formations of past centuries. In
some instances it is possible that
treasure was salvaged and buried
Not many years ago an American Wis
itor is said to have discovered a hid
den vault at Spanish Point, and after
his departure for New York an empty
space and drill holes were noticed by
people living near by. Whether he
really found a treasure hoard remains
