chance discovers the cache where is
hidden the fortune.
iu the bummer of 1S93 the money
was taken from the safe of an express
car by aix masked train robbers. All
of the robbers are now dead, and there
is nothing to mark the hiding place of
their 111 gotten wealth. The last of
the robbers was a man by the name
of Marks. On the day which he set to
unearth the treasure he died at his
office in Cripple Creek from pneu
monia. Marks and one other robber
were the only men who knew the hld
lnt Dlace of the niouey. They carried
It it sanva bags into the hills along
th railroad tracks near the scene of
the hold up and buried it under the
rocks, while their four confederates
held the trainmen and express messen-
rera at bav with their rifles.
The robbers planned to allow xjie
money to remain niauen iur -'''
years, so that there could be no chance
of their being discovered In passing h.
After the hold up the six men sepa
rated, going to utfferent parts of the
country. Marks ana me man m
assisted him In burying me gom re
mained in Cripple Creek together.
Each feared the other ana mey

guard against any attempt to obtain
the money. After two years had
elapsed Marks had become a reai
estate man and a lawyer. The other

The Ktory of the hidden treasure is
told by Mayor K. U Baldwin, of this
city, who obtained It from a bV.f breed
Indian named Clark, wnne ne

Milwaukee, Wis. Judge Seaman
administered a blow to monopolies in

other day in favor of the J. I. Case
company In the "wind stacker" case.
The suit was brought by the Indiana
Manufacturing company to recover
royalties on a patent stacker. All
thrashing machine makers have been
compelled to pay royalties to the In
diana concern, which owns 200 pat
ents. The Case company some time
ago invented a stacker of Its own and
declined to continue the royalties.
J udi;e Seaman, in his decision, con
fined himself to the claim that the
contract with the Indiana concern was
in violation of the Sherman law. He
held that the grant of a patent cre
ated a lawful monopoly, and con

Webster City. Ia Since the death
of George Wells, the eccentric Iowa
millionaire, at his home in Grnndy
Center it develops that many of the
business houses at Wellsburg. the
thriving German town In Grundy
county named after the millionaire,
are built on lots for which the owners
have no deeds except that which
conies from verbal asre-ement and the
fact of occupancy in peaceful posses
sion for a number of years.
It appears that Mr. Wells had a
great habit of deferring action in
many of his deals, trades and trans
actions, that he disused of lots, gave
the buyer possession and stated that
he would make a deed some day. be
ing too busy to attend to the trivial
work of executing the deed.
Mr. Weils carried his books In his
head, so to speak, and many of hi old
time friends took his word for many
things, expecting, of course, to receive
the deed in time, but realizing after

The bride of to-day Is a very lucky
Individual, for, besides her wedding
presents, she has all aorta of delight
ful affairs given by her intimate
friends. There are "stocking," "band
keiiUW-r," "plate and cup and saucer,"
"linen," "book," "flower," "kitchen"
and "novelty" showers. Some or all
of these functions are likely to fall to
the lot of a girl who announces her en
gagement. and who gives her friends
this opportunity to show their good
will. Great care should be taken that
only one's nearest and dearest friends
are asked to parties of this kind ;
strangers or mere calling acquaint
ances should not be asked to contrib
ute, for it would be embarrassing both
tn th elver and the recitiient. this
is one of the instances where a host
ess must be sure of who the bride
elect would like to be oresenL Re
member that the "gift without the
giver is bare."
One of the very latest fads Is a
"turnover collar shower." Each guest
Is asked to bring material for a turn
over and her thimble, and at the con
clusion of an afternoon the fair (we
take It for granted that adjective ap
plies, as It seems to be the preroga
tive of a bride to be termed thusly)
bride-to-be will have a number of
these useful accessories to her trous
seau. The "book shower" must be ar
ranged by a person who can find out
what volumes the recipient does not
possess, so there will not be dupli
cates. The name of the donor with
an inscription will greatly enhance the
value of the gift, and it is safe to say
that this collection will be more than
prized when placed upon the book
shelves of the new home. The hand
kerchief and linen showers are both
pretty. Each article can be thrown
at the bride until she Is fairly buried
under the white offering.
The "china" shower is always a fa
vorite, and a unique way wag devised
for the stocking shower by having a
large "shoe" candy box in the center
of the luncheon table with a ribbon
going to each place; when the rib
bons were pulled all drew out favors
except the honored guest, who drew
out a number of white packages, all
rolled tight in white tissue paper
a pair of silk hose from each guest
present.
A flower shower Is the very pret
tiest of all, and should be given the
day before the wedding. Each guest
hrtnpu bunch of flowers, and the
bride is literally showered with bios
soms from a huge floral ball suspend
ed in a doorway. Have a large ball
made of wire, cover wtlh moss, and
fill closely with flowers; carnations
make a perfect sphere. The ball is
made in halves and filled wtih rose
petals. When farewells are being said
the hostess pulls a ribbon which sep
arates the two halves, releasing the
petals, which fall upon the young
woman who Is about to leave tne
realm of single blessedness for the
new and unknown way. This scatter
