Va„ September 30.—A tale of a lone man's quest for treasure, said by folk lore to have been buried by Indians many years ago in the mountains of Kanawha County, is believed by authorities to have been unfolded by the finding of a man's skeleton in a section of the mountains where rocky cliffs and deep caverns abound. » A weather-stained newspaper, con lainlng an account of the treasure ■ | legend, was found near the skeleton i and led authorities to believe that the man met death either through a fall, exhaustion or starvation while scouring the mountains for the mound, which, in the story that has been handed down from generation to generation, covers the hidden treasure. Physicians expressed an opinion that had been dead many months. Xothhing was found that would aid in solving the mystery of his identification. TO HOLD RALLY.
