BURIED GOLD IN OKLAHOMA. S e a rch to B e M a d e fo r T r e a s u r e O nce O w n ed b y M e x ica n s . There has been a generally circulated tradition among the old-timers that a large sum of gold was buried some where In this part of the territory. Some people claim the treasure Is lo cated In the Wichita mountains and others say In this county, says the Cheyenne Stnr. The story goes that a party of pros pectors, mostly Mexicans, were on their way home, about forty-six years ago, carrying a large amount of wealth when they were attacked by Indians and all but two or three of the party were killed. Xne gold was buried be fore the survivors made their escape and various maps and plats have been claimed to be 'n the possession of dif ferent parties showing where the treas ure was buried, nnd several attempts have been made to locate the spot It now appears that Rev. Mr. Davis, a well-known and respected citizen o f our county, has been in possession of a map, given by a Mexican who c'nlm- ed to have been one of the survivors, showing the lay of the ground where the battle took place, trees with branches and holes certain distances from the ground, the spot designated where the slain were burled, the place where the gold was burled anil a gen eral outline o f the country and Immedi ate vicinity of the mueb-sougbt-for spot. Mr. Davis has been on a still hunt for several years and finally lo cated what he believes to be the place, on the Sandstone, southeast of Chey enne. He began Investigation, fn in j tbn described tree, Jug and found skele tons, located the spot where Hie gold was burled, dug and found Indlcclions of the dirt having been disturbed In the past, and what was believed to have been a portion of the canvas containing the gold. On account of the water fill ing the hole operations were discon tinued until a pump could be secured. Last Saturday a traction engine left Elk City for the purpose of operating a big pump and digging will be te- sumed. Disinterested parties who have been let on the Inside and have seen the map say It is a “ sure thing” and the oft-told tradition o f burled treasure will prove to be a fact. Vacclnasion Srorl -a Some o f the objections raised by the parents of children .attending board schoola where examination was made by a public vaccinator as a precaution against smallpox are very amusing. Much confusion o f thought has evi dently prevailed. " I do not object to my child being vaccinated,” wrote one; “ his name la to be James Mc Carthy.” A note written by a boy's mother read: “ W ill you please alter Jim's name to Hazelwood, as 1 mar ried again last Sunday?” Another was: *T do not object If It Is done by the calf. I remain. His Mother.” On« little girl went home from school with her head full of the new idea. "Moth er," she said, “ have you ever been what-d'y-callemed?” "W hat are you talking about now?" asked the moth er. “ Have you ever been — 1 don’t mean baptized and I don’t mean cru cified, but the other thing.” This re minds one of an old story o f a man In the prison dock who. on being asked bis full name, gave It, and added; "Yea, your worship, I was baptized and vaccinated, but neither on ’em tb ok tr __________________ F o r c e d t o C h a n g e H is M in d . “Timmins, I'm going to have to re duce your salary till business get a lit tle better.” “ Well, 1 see I ’ll have to smoke cheaper cigara." “ Cheaper than those you use now?" “ Yes, a blamed alght cheaper.” “ W ell—er— «ay.
