OLD EXPL ORERS'
GOLD A LURE

ANTONIO, Colo, Dec. IL.
fTNS0-Discovery Of an en-
trance to 4 cave and tunnel in
which there is q possibility of
finding a tremendous fortune OF
gold and treasure hidden by
Spanish or French explorers in
this vicinity may solve a two
century old mystery and end a
50-year search.
Legend relates that the explor-
ers buried the treasure in q cave
in the vicinity and then were ex-
terminated by Indians.
The cave entrance was discov-
cred by q sheepherder when he
suddenly slipped through the
earth on a hillside and diSap-
peared. An examination dis
closed an old tunnel which led
to q cave room about Is feet
square. Evidences Of habitation
were there in the way Of charred
cmbers and a tunnel entrance
blocked off with stones.
The tunnel may lead to hidden
treasure vaults deep in the noun

He s PENNILESS
WITH 100000

AMSTERDAM, N. Y, Dec. Ia
Although he owns more than
$4,000 worth Of real estate, it
is all in his wife's name, and In
capacitated by advanced age, he
is forced to walk the streets, job
less, penniless and little better
than a tramp.
This was the startling story
told by Charles I. Sleeter, SO, Of
Schenectady, when he was hailed
into court to answer o plea for
separation made by his estranged
spouse, Catherine F. Sleeter, 81,
In q hearing before Justice
Christopher Heffernan In SUI
preme Court, Mrs. Sleeter based
her plea on a charge that her
husband had contributed no
actual funds to the support of
either herself or their home, since
April Of this year.
Sleeter admits the accusation.
He is unable to obtain steady en-
ployment because Of his age, he
says. But he declares that he is
willing to work as hard as pos
sible to keep up his abode.
He revealed that he had been
doing occasional "odd jobs in the
Jewish Cemetery, trimming lawns,
pruning shrubbery and cultivat-
ing flower beds. for which he re-
ceived between SIS and $40 as
an average weeks pay.
But more startling than this
was Shelters testimony that his
wife had not spoken directly to
him in seven years, although they
have continued to live together.
They have been married 40 years,
he said.

able cause for apprehension during
the past month, but it is now
stated that the threatened cpl
denies are well under control.
There has been no further in
crease In the number of cases
reported during the past few
days. The Floris colored school,
closed during the past two weeks
on account Of a large number Of
cases among the pupils, was re-
opened Monday. There have been
but two deaths among 90 cases
Of diptheria.
The minor epidemics have had
one good result, according to the
health lstaff, in that they have
brought home to residents the
value Of antitoxins as preventa-
tiveS of these dangerous diseases
so that it will be much easier to
secure cooperation in preventa-
tive medical practices in the fu-
ture.
The health unit treated 1865
