TREASURE BOX IS UNEARTHED
Nashville, Ind., April 5-Wilbur Walter, near Little Blue, wihle plowing in a
field, unearthed a box that contained $900 in gold. The money had been
concealed by his father many years ago, and Wilbur had looked the farm over
in an effort to find the hiding place and had dug at the roots of numerous
trees.
The trees, however, under which the box was concealed, had been cut down and
in time the stump rototed and was broken up. In this way, the treasure was
uncovered. The coins are in tens and twenties. Mr. Wlater thinks there is
still more money concealed on the farm and he will continue his search.
His father was an economical man and just before his death he sold forty
acres for $80 an acres, with horses and cattle, the latter bring $500. All
this money is supposed to be still hidden on the farm.
