BURIED TREASURE.
A Keg of Gold in Santa
Monica Canyon.
A SHIP'S CREW MURDERED.
The Captain and One Man Escape
and Hide Their Money in a
Butter Keg.
The mortal remains of an old note
book, bound in imitation alligator skin,
was picked up on the sidewalk nearly in
front of the Nadeau yesterday. It con
tains some entries in lead pencil of a
cabalistic nature. Inside the leaves of
the book were a pawn ticket for a watch,
a pass over the Los Angeles County road,
good for the rest of this year, and a poll
tax receipt, all in the name of Hugh
Dixon.
All this would not be remarkable, nor
call for more than an announcement of
the find, in order that the loser might
come to the Herald office and get the
book, as he may now. But, besides the
above, the book contained in its leaves a
letter which contains news of the utmost
importance to all the people of
Los Angeles who desire to secure
riches at a very easy rate. This letter
gives details of an attack made on a
ship, evidently Englieh, in which all the
crew excepting the Captain and one man
were killed by Mexican pirates. The
two who escaped took away in a small
boat all the treasure in their vessel and
buried it in a butter keg in Santa Monica
cafion. Here is the letter:
"St. John, N. 8., June 5, 1885.
"Dear Friend Sam—l heard that you
were in Los Angeles and so I thought I
would drop you a few lines. I have
had good health lately. I saw your sis
ter at Moor's Mills. She is well. I have
been here for two years and shall stay
here the rest of my life. I heard that
you got married. By the way,
I was going to tell you about a
casket of money that we buried
about two miles west of Santa Monica.
I believe they call it the old town. We
came in there and were attacked by the
Mexicans, and all of the crew were
killed but Captain Frasure and me, and
we got everything off the ship that was
worth anything, and went in a small
boat, and went in a small stream about
300 yards and buried it in an old Span
ish fort. It is in the first curve of the
river on the right-hand side. I drew a
map of the place, and I intended to go
back and get it, but we both went to
England, and the Captain died. He has
been dead for three years, and I am 72
years old now, and I never intend to
get it. I have no idea how much
was in the keg. It was buried in a but
ter keg. If you write to me and give me
your address I will send you the map.
Well I guess I will close. Love to all.
From your old friend
John Leister."
There are a great many inaccuracies of
spelling and inelegancies of composition
in the letter which show that the writer
was an old salt. These have been
omitted in print. There ia no way of as
certaining who "Sam" is, what the ship
was, nor when the treasure wag buried.
The stream In the cafion is a strange
feature, and so is the old Spanish fort.
Still if all those at the seaside resort will
torn ont in force someone may find this;
batter keg with the golden treasure
buried therein.
THE CITY FCNiW.
Tne Finance Committee Will Ask
for Further Time.
A week ago yesterday two bids were
received by the City Council for the care
of the city funds, in answer to an adver
tisement inserted under the provisions
of the new charter. One of these was
from the Farmers and Merchants Btnk,
which offered to pay interest at the rate
of 3 per cent, per year, and the other
was from the National Bank of Califor
nia at the rate of 2 per cent, per year.
These bids were referred to the Finance
Committee, and it was natur.<lly sup
posed that a recommendation would be
made that the highest bid be accepted,
bat it appears that this will not be the
ease. The Finance Committee has been
discussing the subject all week, but ap
parently has come to no conclusion, for
at its meeting it decided to report to the
Council today bb follows:
"In re loaning the city money, your
committee will state that as there have
arisen many questions of importance as
to the advisability and legality of loaning
■aid money, and as one of the committee
ia unavoidably absent on account of sick
ness in his family, your committee would
respectfully ask that they be given one
week's further time within which to
report."
It is stated that there are several rea
sons why the committee does not care to
make a recommendation at present. One
of them is that the rest of tne members
of tbe Council who have been inter
viewed on the subject have not arrived
at a definite conclusion as to tbe right
coarse to pursue. For some reason the
fact that the highest bid comes from the
Farmers and Merchants Bank seems to
be the main cause of the reluctance to
act in accordance with the provisions of
the charter, which are as follows:
"The bank offering the highest rate of
interest shall be appointed the deposi
tory of public moneys."
There is another reason why the
matter ia being delayed for further in
vestigation. It is stated that the City
Treasurer has decided objections to the
Council ordering him to keep the city
money in any place. The statements
made are to the effect that he has given
bonds for the faithful performance of his
duty, and that if the money is taken out
of his hands his bondsmen may with
draw. It is also stated that he claims
that the provision of the new charter re
lating to the letting out of the city money
is invalid.
This section of the city charter reads
as follows in reference to the Treasurer:
"The Council shall direct the City Treas
nrer to deposit etch day when such bank
is open for transaction of business, with
the Dank thus selected,all public moneys
of said city by him collected or re
ceived.
"For each such deposit the Treasurer
shall take the receipt of the bank, and
frem and after the deposit of such money
in said bank the Treasurer and his
bondsmen shall no longer be liable
therefor.
"Should the City Treasurer refuse or
neglect at any time to comply with the
orders of the Council, as to the deposit of
such moneys, he shall he liable upon
his official bond in an action brought
thereon, by and in the name of said cor
poration, for the fall amount of the inter
est which the corporation should have
received upon such moneys during; each
time as he ihsil retain the poaaoaaion or

control of such moneys; or he may be
proceeded against by said corporation in
its own name by mandate brought
against him under the laws of this State,
applicable thereto, to compel such depos
its to be made."
The matter will probably be discussed
fully in the Council today.
BUNCH ARRESTED.
Charged With Helping; morale*
Steal Heriei.
Yesterday morning Constable Frank
Benedict, of Santa Monica, brought
George W. Bunch to Los Angeles from
San Bernardino, where he was arrested
on Sunday night on a charge of grand
larceny, for stealing horses from the Ca
mulos ranch and also from Santa Monica.
Constable Benedict stated that he had
been following Bunch for sever 1 days.
He got track of him at Anaheim, and
followed him to Yorba and several other
places, finally ascertaining that he
had been seen near the Indian settle
ment near San Bernardino. He said
that a number of times he was only an
hour or so behind Bunch, and on one
occasion just missed a train that carried
the fugitive away from him. On Satur
day Benedict arrived at San Bernardino
and went out with Sheriff Seymour to
look for Bunch. They did not return
until Sunday afternoon, when they
found that Bunch had been captured in
the town by one of Sheriff Seymour's
deputies. Bunch was at one time a boon
companion of Morales, and Constable
Benedict says he believes that he was
concerned in nearly all the horse-stealing
with which Morales has been charged.
Bunch met Morales at a dance in Hin
con some time in the early part of July.
They started out for San Diego together
and camped the first night on the shore
of Lake Elsinore, and the night follow
ing at Fechanga, an Indian rancheria,
having carefully avoided Murrieta and
Temecula on the way to the latter place.
The next night they were at Mt. Fair
view, and the following morning pasted
through Moosa canon and Escondido to
San Dieguito, stopping that night at the
ranch of Jose Morales.
The next day was hot, and Morales,
falling in with some boon companions,
who were strangers to Bunch, all but
the latter got gloriously drunk on wine
procured at a place known as Juan Cas
tro's saloon. It was at this time that as
the party were riding along on horse
back Morales pulled his pistol out and
shot Bunch twice. It was just before
this trip that the horses were taken from
the Camulos rancho and sold at Ana
heim. It is believed that the shooting
was the result of a quarrel over the
division of the spoils. Constable Bene
dict will interview Morales, and if pos
sible have him brought here to testify
against Bnnch.
STREET NUMBERING.
Sugrg-entlous to tbe Council by Su
perintendent r'rlexuer.
Superintendent Friesner, of the Public
Schools, in a communication to the
Council says: It is necessary that we
know- the correct address of every child
attending the public schools. Ordinance
No. 48 (new series), iv which your body
simplified the naming of streets will aid
us very much. The greatest difficulty,
however, is yet to be removed. I refer
to the numbering of houses. There are
hundreds of houses not numbered at all
and many others incorrectly numbered.
To illustrate, a house on Figrseroa street
just south of Washington street is num
oered 285 and the one on the opposite
side of the street 1,406. Both are evi
dently wrong, because the numbers in
the corie?ponding block on Main street
begin, with 1,700. I can cite many other
equally prominent errors. In order to
remedy these evils and secure uniform
ity I respectfully suggest that section 5
of ordinance 74, dated March 13,1883,
be so amended as to emoody the follow
ing:
First. That there be no numbers be
low 100; that is that the first number
north of First street and east or west of
Main street begin with 100 and that a
new hundred begin at each succeeding
block from the starting point.
Second. That all streets running par
allel with Main street be numbered as if
they began at First street and all streets
which parallel First street be numbered
as if they began at Main street.
Tbe numbers in opposite blocks of par
allel streets would then correspond with
one another. Illustration: Orange
street begins at Pearl street and extendi!
wes- parallel with First street. The first
number on Orange street should be 901
to correspond with the first number on
First west of Pearl street.
Third. That section 6 of said ordi
nance No. 74 be enforced.
THE CITRUS FAIR.
It ought to be Held ln L,os
Angeles.
The sum of $5,000 has been appropri
ated for tbe purpose of holding a Citrus
Fair somewhere in the Sixth Agricultural
District. Of course every little place in
the southern end of the county will use
whatever pull it has to have the fair take
place within its borders. San Dieguito
will be heard from, no doubt, as claiming
the prominence she has achieved in
being the home of Nymfia Morales,
and Seabright will claim it on
the ground that it has never had any
thing, and never will unless it gets the
Citrus Fair. The selection of the place
rests with the State Board of Horticul
ture, and what the members of that body
want to do is to select a place in the true
citrus belt, central to all ether places,
with a hall sufficient to make the exhibit
in, and where the largest number of
people will be able to see the
display with the leatt inconven
ience to themselves. That place is
Los Angeles. It is central to all points
in the district. All the railroads run in
here. There are halls to select from to
put the exhibit in place, and there are
many times more people here than at
any other point. There are more people
resident here, ana there are always a
large number of tourists here. This is
the place for the Citrus Fair.
Will Not Reform.
Officer Stewart found Katie Bouton on
Upper Main street early yesterday
morning in an intoxicated condition. He
tried to get her to return to Mrs. Nichol
son's house, where she has been staying
since her release from jail, but could not
induce her to do so, and she was taken
to the station. She had $10, which she
wanted to deposit for her release, but
Judge Stanton thought it beet to send
her to the County Jail, where she will
spend the best portion of a year, as she
was sentenced to fifty days and fined
$200 in addition. The Judge and officers
have tried to reform Katie, but found all
their efforts useless. She has been ar
rested and locked ur/four times within
the past twenty-threfi days.
SANTA MONICA.
How Admission Day Was Observed
Down by tne Sea.
Santa Monica is too quiet a place to
make much of a hurrah about anything,
and even the fact that today was Admis
sion Day failed to quicken the public
pulse. To be sure, there were more
people on the beach than usual, but this
was due to the influx of recreators from
Los Angeles, Pasadena and the many
other towns that supply Santa Monica
with her floating population.
The breakers were almost as heavy as
yesterday, so that the timid contented
themselves with reclining on the sande
and watched the more venturesome as
they dived and sported in the foaming
waters. Those who live here say that
the seas have seldom been us high as
they have been during the past few
days; in fact, last night the dwellers on
the beach were somewhat alarmed, for
the waves came right over the sands, and
in some instances found their way into
the houses and tents.
Under such circumstances it is not,
therefore, much a matter of wonderment
that nothing has yet been Been of tbe
remains of poor Carl Miles; and, by the
way, Carl will be well remembered by a
good many when it is stated that he" is
the youth who carried the Herald and
Times to Long Beach during the Alliance
Assembly.
Visitors to the beach will notice a huge
mass of timber stranded high and dry,
and as they gaze on it they are looking
on a section of the famous Ballon a har
bor. It was washed away by the heavy
seas yesterday, and drifted in during the
night.
Everyone has turned out this afternoon
to see the polo match on the grounds at
Sixth street. There is no doubt by the
attendance that polo is becoming quite
popular in this section of the country.
The Arcadia will on and after Wednes
day be run on the European plan; that
is to say, the rooms will be rented sep
arately from the dining establishment,
which will be run as a restaurant.
Tomorrow night's german at the Casino
will undoubtedly witness a representative
attendance of the society in this part of
the world, for it is the topic of the hour
in fashionable circles.
Col. I. H. Polk and wife are now en
sconced at the Arcadia.
Ex- Councilman John Lovel, unable to
withstand the attractions of the beach,
has returned to his Arcadia quarters.
Mr. E. E. Hall, President of the Los
Angeles and Pacific railroad, who has
been summering here, returned to his
(own residence accompanied by his
charming wife.
Recorder J. W. Francis and wife were
down today, watching the breakers roll
in.
Judge and Mrs. W Van Dyke added
their names to the Arcadia's list today.
Mr. A. G. Walsh, of the Hbrald,"ac
companied by C. C. Huntley, wife and
daughter, walked on the sands this af
ternoon.
W. G. Miller and W. Taylor, ot the
Timet, enjoyed themselves under the pa
vilion shades.
Shirley C. Ward and Mrs. Anna E.
Ward dropped down for a few hours and
lunched at the Arcadia.
A picnic party had a good time under
the Ellis shades on North Beach.
Mrs. J. H. Patrick was down on a visit
to Miss Culver.
Mrs. G. F. P. Day, Leonard Day, Alice
VV. Day, Miss Mary L. Venal, F. W. De
Van and A. Zellner, Jr., are among the
arrivals at the Arcadia tbday.
September 9. H.
SANTA CATALINA.
A I.ul I iv Flablnsr-Heav)' Tide
Swells.
Avalon, September 8, 1889.
The experiences of last Monday, when
a raft of yellow tail crowded into our lit
tle harbor, and every man, woman and
child in Avalon went out and caught
from one to ten each, have not been re
peated. That was a phenomenal visit,
and it may be years before we look upon
its like again. The glowing descriptions
of this episode, which appeared in the
Hebald and other papers, excited the
sporting proclivities in many of the old
habitues of Avalon who had gone home,
and brought them back here in large
numbers. The catch continued very
favorable fir two or three days, but after
Friday the finny beauties took them
selves to other parts, and there has been
a lull in results Bitch as has greatly dis
couraged those who came here to renew
their old-time sports. Friday only half
a dozen yellow tails were landed on the
beach. Saturday the thing becafme
worse, and today there has been abso
lutely no catch worth mentioning. One
large yellow tail was caught in the bay,
but outside there was neither amber nor
bottom fish to be had.
George K. Porter, Jesse Yarnell and
J.J. Melius came down yesterday se
verely intent on landing a jew fish. They
started for Seal rock this morning on the
Wanda, but they found the sea so rough
and the tide-swell so high that they did
nothing. Indeed the tide-swell has been
so tremendous all along the island coast
for the past twenty-four hours that
everybody ascribes the almost utter pov
erty of fish to that cause. I believe they
are right. The full moon has brought
the spring tides, and there seems to be
tho tail-end of a far-away Btorm bat
tering at our coast. The wash on tbe
beaches ia unusually strong and high,
and even Bwimming is interfered with by
the great commotion.
There seems to be but very little dimin
ution in the number of campers and ho
tel visitors here. Today's excursion was
well up to the mark of those at the
height of the season, and there are a
number of prominent Los Angeletios
here who have booked themselves at the
hotel for eight or ten days. Amongst
these are Mr. J. 8. Slausson aud son.
Colonel Morford and daughters, Mr. and
Mrs. Hadock, and Mrs. Beeson. There
are others who will only remain a day or
two.
The Paloma and Rambler are in port,
and quite a fleet of smaller craft.
One of the great troubles of the beach
is to get bait when you want it. Many a
fine day's sport has been nipped in the
bud by the intending fishermen finding,
when they got up early in the morning,
that there was no bait to be had. I
think if I kept the hotel I would remedy
this. Fishing is a great attraction, and
when it has to be given up for the want
of bait one feels as if he had wasted his
time. The only bait that can be success
fully used for trolling is smelt and sar
dines. These are caught in seines. But
the only seine permanently here belongs
to an old islander, who draws it only
when he feels like it. Occasionally
Italian fishermen come over with a
seine, but they are not anxious to sell
bait. They say, "We sell ten cents
worth of bait and the hotel gets ten dol
lars worth of fish for nothing. We keep
our bait and sell our fish."
Next year, it is to be hoped that there
will be a reform in this bait business,
and that somebody interested in keeping
a crowd of paying visitors on the island
will make it a business to supply all who
want to go fishing with bait.
The weather is fine and promises to
continue so. Indeed, persons who have
spent the winter here say they prefer it
to the summer season. Yours truly,
S. Melt.
A FATAL ACCIDENT.
A l.lttle Boy Crushed by a I.os; at
Long- Beach.
A fatal accident occurred yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock at Long Beach.
At that time two small boys named
Joseph Dubbs and W. N. Blackman
were playing on the beach near the West
End bath house. The sea was running
rather high at the time and the waves
were dashing high over the sand. The
boys caught sight of a large log which
had been broken from the wharf the
night before, and as it washed aßhore
they ran to haul it out of the water. One
end of the log was firmly imbedded in
the sand, and thinking to hold the other
end steady, the boys climbed over it.
At this moment a larger wave than had
rolled in for some minutes caught tho
swaying end and swung it around. The
Dubbs boy lost his balance and in some
way fell under the swaying log, and as
the wave reached its full height it landed
on his head and chest, crushing him so
that he expired almost instantly. AY. L.
Bosbyshell and ex-Deputy District Attor
ney Dunlap, who were not far away, ran
to the spot and extricated the boy, hut it
waa too late. Dr. Huckins, who arrived
on the scene a few minutes later, found
life extinct. Toe boy was but 11 years
of age, and went to Long Beach only a
few weeks ago with his mother, who is
from Boston and was in California for
her health. Coroner Meredith held an
inquest during the afternoon, and the
jury found a verdict of accidental death.
The body will be sent to Boston for inter
ment.
A DOUBLE INQUEST.
James ItlcGuffrle Dies at Ran Pcdrn
Yesterday Itlornins;.
Coroner Meredith held two inquests at
San Pedro yesterday morning; one
on the body of Agnes McGuffrie, who was
shot by her husband, and the other on
James McGuffrie, who shot himself after
killing his wife. McGuffrie died during
the morning, and up to the time of his
death suffered considerably. He said
that he had gone to see his wife with the
intention of shooting her and then him
self.
The principal witness at the iDquest
was Mrs. Crocker, who told the story of
the shooting substantially as published
in the Herald yesterday morning. She
said that after Mrs. McGuffrie had come
in to see her husband, he asked her
about some man whom he had seen at
the ranch. Mrs. McGuffrie told him
that it was only a hired man. He then
asked Mrs. McGuffrie to return to him,
but she refused,, and then he drew his
revolver and shot her as stated.
The Coroner's jury brought in verdicts
to the effect that Mrs. McGuffrie had
come to her death at the hands of her
husband, and that James McGuffrie had
committed suicide. Mrs. McGuffrie was
a native of England, 43 years of age, and
James McGuffrie was of the same
nativity, 48 years of age.
