Granddaughter of Peter Grouleaux
Makes Systematic HuiA on
Old Randolph Trail.
Bird That Rides Auto Radiator
Keeps Neighbors Awake.
MARSHFIELD, Or., Aug. 18.
(Special.) The $40,000 buried in
1853, between the old Randolph
mine and South inlet, by Peter
and Charles Grouleaux, has again
defied a systematic search of
about 4 0 days, and Lillie Tully, a
granddaughter of Peter Grouleaux,
has returned to her home in Tacoma,
not, however, without a determina
tion of returning to prosecute the
search. Miss Grouleaux was assisted
in her quest during July and August
by Mrs. Nellie Codding and George
Wasson, children of a pioneer to
whom Peter Grouleaux related the
story of the buried treasure 20 years
after he placed it in the ground.
Peter and Charles Grouleaux were
the discoverers of the Randolph
riches and picked nuggets from the
beach'for two years during the sum
mer months and returned to the "Wil
lamette valley each winter before
the secret of their find leaked out.
The subsequent rush made Randolph
the largest town on the southwest
coast in less than a year.
, Brothers Pull Stakrs. '
The brothers, satisfied with the
fortune they had accumulated, about
J300.000, from their own mining and
sale of claims, pulled stakes. They
thought they had enough to last
them for life. In the last farewell
before their departure there was a
gala time in the Randolph camp. The
brothers, before they had traveled
more than a few miles over the then
familiar Randolph trail, over which
mail and freight were carried, be
thought themselves that it might be
a good plan to plant some of their
wealth ,and thus make certain that
they -would not be robbed of their
all.
Nuggets to the estimated amount
of between $40,000 and $50,000 were
accordingly hidden in cans in the
roots of a cedar tree, not far from
the trail, and the brothers continued
on to their home in the "Willamette
valley.
Fortune Lasts 20 nrs.
Peter Grouleaux afterward went
to his native France and toured
Europe. His resources lasted about
20 years, according to Glenn Aiken
and George WasscJn, to whom he re
lated the story of the lost gold, after !
he had lived in the coast section for
two years and dug in every likely
place to find it. Grouleaux finally
abandoned the search and told his
secret to the two pioneers on a
promise that they would divide the
treasure should they find it.
Since that time nearly every foot
of the Randolph trail, where cedar
stumps were found, has been dug
over time and again in the hope
that the nuggets would be turned
UP. George "Wasson, son of the
pioneer, probably has spent more
time in the hunt than any other per
son. Peter Grouleaux, searching 20
years after burying the gold, said
that the character of the country
was changed, the trail overgrown
and fires had destroyed old land
marks. Despite her disappointment in not
unearthing the cache. Miss Tully de
clared that the excitement of the
quest and the hope of reward was
worth the time she had spent.
goose owned by Mrs. Bunice
M. Bothwell, has been banished by
the city council but it has been
discovered that the city fathers
have no authority to enforce their
edict.
So the banished goose can legally
remain at the Kothwell home, 928
East Everett street, unless the
neighbors win a suit in the circuit
court on the grounds that the radiator-riding
bird is a nuisance.
Nothing has given the members
of the city council quite as much
trouble as had Bobbie, the goose.
Neighbors of Mrs. Bothwell declare
that the goose honks the whole
night through, making sleep im
possible for the citizens in that sec
tion of the city.
A fine home on Laurelhurst lake
was offered by the city dads for
Bobbie, but the offer was spurned
by Mrs. Bothwell, who told members
of the council that she loved Bobbie
and didn't intend to get rid of Mm.
So with the announcement, mem
bers of the council "ordered" the
immediate removal of the goose,
only to be followed by an official
announcement in the city attorney's
office that the council has no legal
means of ridding trie petitioners'
neighborhood of the goose.

For 55 Years Great Artist Ran

LONDON, Aug. 18. (By the As
sociated Press.) Genevieve Ward,
famous American tragedienne, died
of heart disease today at her home
in Hampstead.

as "The Grand Old Dame of the
Stage." endeared herself to millions
of theater-goers in every corner of
the world during the 55 years she
appeared before the public in al
most every role from grand opera
to light comedy.
Great as she proved to be in mock
tragedy, she was none the less re
markable for the indomitable cour
age with which she met and con
quered geunine tragedy when it ap
peared in her own life. Either of
two events occurring while she was
still quite young might have over
whelmed a heart less stout. The
first of these was an unfortunate
marriage at the age of 17 to Count
Constantino de Guerbel of Russia,
from whom she separated, and the
second was the complete loss of her
singing voice through an attack of
diphtheria in Cuba in 1863, after her
success in grand opera had been as
sured. Madam Ward studied singing in
Italy and in Paris, making her first
appearance in Paino's opera, "Stella
di Napoli", under the stage name of
Mme. Ginevra Guerrabella.
In 1873 she returned to England
bent upon trying her hand at acting
and recorded an instantaneous suc
cess in her first appearance on the
dramatic stage as Lady Macbeth in
the Theater Royal, Manchester.
