POT OF GOLD"
LAD RETURNING
T0FACECHARCES

Arrest of Emory Worm .ngton,
10, of Holtville here by the sher-
iff s department has led to the re-
covery of more than $4,000 of a
gold cache of $3.50 which was loot
ed more than two months ago, it
was revealed by Sheriff Brixey of
Monett, Mo-, who arrived here this
morning to take Wormington to
Monet.
Wormington was arrested here
when he attempted to deposit $500
in gold at q local bank. The of
ficials became suspicious and mott
fled the sheriff s office. Sheriff
Gillett placed him under arrest for
investigation and questioned by De-
putty Sheriff Sharp, Wormington
finally admitted that he had stolen
the money in Monet while visiting
his uncle.
lie said that the money had been
buried in small building on his
uncle s farm and implicated q hir-
ed man named "Bill" as an accom-
plice in finding and taking the
gold.
"We found 'Bill' still at work
on the ranch,' declared the sher-
iff this morning. "He told US that
they had obtained $3.50 in all
from the gold cache and then led
us to two places where he had bur
led his part of the gold. There was
! $1,000 in each of these places. He
said that Wormington had the re
mainder of the money, $26S0.'
The officials here, however, have
been able to recover only 1860 of
Wormington s share, leaving total
of 1920 missing.
It is expected that Wormington
will be started on the return trip
to Monet tonight in the custody of
Sheriff Brixey.
The sheriff said that the money
was the property of Richmond
Wormington, uncle of the Holt
willie youngster, and that it had
been buried in the place where If
was found by the youngsters for
several years.
Wormington knew that his uncle
had money buried on the ranch and
when the hired hand 'Bill' said that
he had been cautioned about mov-
ing a barrel in the small outbuild-
ing the boys figured that the money
was hidden beneath it. Their
theory proved correct.
The money had not been missed
by Wormington until after he was
notified of Che apprehension of the
two youngsters.

like toys.
The summer kitchen Of a farm
house near there was picked up and
blown along for 100 feet. A baby
girl and her grandfather in the
kitchen at the time were injured
seriously.
One cottage was swung bodily off
the ground and tossed into the lake
by the terrific gale. However, it was
uninhabitated
