IP R U SEARCH LONG F BURIED Hidden Fortune Has Lured Men to Toil for Half Century on Iowa Farm. TRAGEDY WOVEN IN ROMANCE Murder of Man 46 Years Ago Brings Strange Characters Into a Court Mystery Yet to Be Solved. Bedford, Iir. The mystery of a hid den treasure, a mystery that has puz zled the people of southwestern lowu for half a century, has been brought nearer solution by an Investigation which has shown how a little group of picturesque characters of that sec tion of the state tolled for years In quest of riches burled, according to tradition, nu the Klondike farm. Lying 15 miles southwest or Bed ford, In., Is the Huntsman farm, and adjoining It Is the Anderson home stead. Bitted with holes and scarred with many excavations, the farms prove the arduous toll of men drlvun by dreams of gold. First It was Dr. C. 11. Huntsman and his brother, Bates, who searched for the treasure. Now It Is Bates atid his two sous and their families. Searching for the Treasure. Samuel Anderson moved to Iowa In the early seventies. Soon after he lo cated on the farm Anderson received a call from the Huntsmans, who told him that there was a lot of gold burled on the place and that they wanted to dig for It. Anderson was asked to aid In tho work. For nearly a quarter century the three dug, plowed anil ex cavated. One day 17 years ago the seurchors uncovered three stakes set In i( direct Hue pointing to a spring. Anderson, Inspired by the vision of his share of the fortune, dug on feverishly. He first came onto some white sand that he knew was not common to that part of tho country. Anderson then uncov ered n big rock, under which wns a metal box. One of the Huutsmans told Anderson that he could go, prom ising him his share of the fortune when the money was counted. He never saw the box again nor learned of its contents. Soon after the discovery of the metal box the elder Huntsman died suddenly. Samuel Anderson, weary ing of long waiting for his share of tho treasure he believed he had uncov ered, filed a suit against Bates Hunts man, asking pay for his years of toll. So peculiar was his story that stnto olllclals became Interested. An Inves tigation followed, and other persons acquainted with some of the circum stances of the affair were found. One of these was Maria Collins Porter of Quitman, Mo., who spent her girlhood in tho vicinity. The woman's story seemed to throw clear light on the source of the treas ITALIAN DREADNAUGHT VISITS NEW YORK I , I j..

Those former olllcers with wives and families to support are In ninny cases living on meuger pensions. One of the most remur.kuhle cases of unemployment Is that of a Cam bridge university graduate who for the greater part of tin; war held an Important command In the army and subsequently a temporary post of great responsibility In a government' department.

There wore made public from the archives of tho former Aus-tro-IIungnrlan government minutes of tho meeting of the privy council on July 7, 11)11, at which It was virtually decided to begin war on Serbia. According to this publication the ministry of Austria-Hungary, especial ly Count Leopold- von Borchiolii, foreign minister, was solely responsi ble for the outbreak of hostilities.

King George bestowed on him the order of Commander of tho British Empire. But these credentials have been of no avail In his quest for suitable em ployment In this country, and. In de spair, he says that he Is going to America next month. FiX-olllcers have discovered that the business world regards long military service as a disadvantage rather than an asset. An Infantry captain, 4', years old, with wife and three children, said: '"I have farmed in South Africa, served with tin; Natal mounted police, and prospected for gold. I want nn outdoor job connected with agricul ture, with a minumum salary of $1, "."0. I cannot get one and I have ap plied for iijsiimll holding, but urn told I muy have to wait twejve months." Another former officer reported his firm would take him back tit half his prewar salary, saying that was tho best they could do, ns trade was so bad.

Several weeks ago, It now Is re vealed, a chaplain attached to General Pershing's headquarters visited Amer ican Bed Cross headquarters In Paris, asking to be shown the various phases of the work being carried on. The check, bearing Pershing's signa ture, was tho result, reaching tho Bed Cross the day the general bade fare well to France. A letter accompanying the donation stipulates, that the money be placed In the "Stars and Stripes" war orphan fund, which, assisted by the Bed Cross, has "adopted" thousands of French children whose fathers were killed In battle, Insuring for them sup port and the means of educating them selves. that Italy and Boumania "could bo compensated afterward for not hav ing been consulted beforehand." Count Stephen Tlsn, then Hungar ian premier, opposed the war. domunfl Ing that diplomatic action be tnke-t first and then that an ultimatum of a t uccopiable nature be sont. Only in ciuo both failed would he have rosorn en! to arms. Count von Berchtold thereupon said: "Now, Is the right moment becausM Germany Is ready to assist."

(Prepared by the United . States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Mnny people can keep pigeons suc cessfully ns a side Issue, although this requires constnnt oversight and care ful uttentlon to details. Tho greatest dilllcultloB confronting the successful raiser of pigeons seem to be In securing good breeding stock, nnd finding n mar ket for the produce of a smnll flock. Pigeons are a profitable source of In come on general farms where they mas secure much of their feed from the fields, provided they nro not n nulsnnce and the loss by shooting nnd by hawks, owls and cats Is not large. They can also be raised successfully on farm? where they are closely confined, pro vided tho squabs can bo marketed tc good advantage. Of the squab-raising varieties the Homer Is considered the most popular -variety. The habit of this bird of re turning home If allowed freedom makes It necessary to confine pigeons purchas ed from other lofts. The Cnrneaux pigeon has recently become popular ns n squab producer. This vnrlety Is some--what larger than the Homer and It Is stated Is about sis prolific. Several other varieties of pigeons larger than tire Ilomer are used on a small scale In squab' raising, especially In crossing with the Homer and Cameaux, to In crease the size of sounbs. The Runt Homer Pigeon Is Most Popular. Is one of the largest, but Is not as pro lific or as good a breeder or feeder nf the nomer. Some of tho other varieties rcportec used as squab breeders are the Dra goon, White Maltese, or hen pigeon the White King, and the common pig con. BIG RETURNS FROM POULTRY Arizona Farmer Made Profit of Nearly $300 From Small Flock in Short Space of Time. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) A not return of nearly 300 in twe and one-half months from a side line on the farm Is tho record made by a Glondnle, Ariz., farmer who Is carry ing on Ids operations under the direc tion of n poultry extension expert ol the United States department of agri culture. In connection with his gen era! farm work he kept a flock of 210 hens, wlilcM produced nn average of ton dozen eggs during the four winter months. During February the eggs brought nn average of D5 cents a dozen, or approximately $150, while tho feed bill, Including the feed for tho young chicks, nmounted to $50. The follov ng month the flock showed a profit of a little over $100. During the first half of April the gross re ceipts were ?07.!j0. In April the ex tension specInllBt conducted a culling demonstration on this farm nnd weed ed f0 hens from tho flock. The culled hens were kept In a separate pen for a week following the demonstration, and made proctlcully no returns In egg yields. This Indicates, the specialist says, that the remaining 151 hens probably made tho record with which the entire 210 had been credited.
