PIRATE GOLD IN A CAVE
traeMaa Mike. ! l Freely
proast OI nmrirm
Tresis''
On. of th. .trans and yet amusing
ca.es that wa. ever tried In this Acadian
action of country will com. up In the
district court of Vermilion parish at Abbe
vllle La at th. April term. It is the old
'miliar '.tory of th. hidden treasure of
Ilrat. Lafltte. H. operated in the gulf
and the Acadlans believe that he sailed up
the Bayou T-l.e rt"1 booly lon
Us banks In aeveral places. There are tra
ditions to this effect and a number of peo
ple showed their faith In these traditions
by putting up their money. And now they
have asked th. court, to settle Ihe matter.
6um Urn ago a crowd of "loal fortun."
hunter, claimed that th.y had found a
filled with, gold-aoubloooa. Tb cava
mmm situated in th. "Cow island" country.
twenty mile, south of Abbeyvllle. It was
nn an lale and surrounded by moraaeas.
and difficult of approach. The Pirate T
Lafltte had undoubtedly "planted in.
treasure fa this almost Impenetrable
marshy section, and these hunter, found
It by accident while they were hunting
muskrat. and alllaator.. They minutely
described the cave. It waa ten feet squsre.
lined with brkk, and there were no doubt
millions In It. These men were native
Acadlans and lived In that section, wliero
they follower hunting and trapping for the
market. Price Choate wa. the leader of
the company and the other, were Joe
Choatu. Terry and Mesalre Hebert, and
Clebert Qaapard. Whether they found a
cava or not la not positively known, and
It Is certainly known that no doubloons
hare found their way Into th pockets af
ttooaa who lavaaUd In the aoierprlM.
After the treausure cave was located.
either real or fancied. Price Choate, who
Is known as a shrewd character, under
took to finance the scheme. This par
ticular section of morass In which the cava
is situated la on the land of Pierre Dupleti,
and In order to make matter, safe this
land must bo bought. A stock company,
limited, wa. organized, and an unlimited
number of shares sold, at whatever price
the verdant buyer, would pay. In addi
tion, a solid roadway must be built across
the sanip to hard land, so that the gold
could be hauled out. Twenty thousand
dollars was needed, and the people of this
vicinity put up part of the money. Now,
they are wishing that some one else had
bit at the scheme. Price Choate and his
confederates spent soma time In making
developments, but did not turn up the
stuff. In th. meantime, one of ihe men
who had advanced money, quietly .lipped
In and bought the land, paying 10,(W) for
It about twice its value. He also searched
for the supposed treasure, and, not finding
It, charged the prospectors with fraud.
Price Choate was arrested, but the
others escaped. It Is Choate'. trial that
will take place in Abbeville In April. He
I. charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses. But, he say. that th.
pretensec were not false; that the cave
and the Spanish doubloons are both there,
and he can prove It, If they will let him
out. He la In a peculiar condition, as well
as In Jell. He cannot furnish ball. He
ill not trust any one with the secret,
and, of course, lite officers will not let
him go to the cave alone nor can they
officially accompany him. It would not
look well. With him it 1. a case of an
ocean of water and not a drop to drink.
There are seme who still believe hi. story,
and offer to visit th. cava, and bring back
at least enough doubloon, to baU him out
of jail, and, perhaps secure hi. acquittal.
But, he refuse, to trust any one. He may
go to the stste prison, but, then, when he
1. released, ha can get the plant. The
crowd got about 11,000 and Price soon lost
or spent hi. part, and 1. now left to do
penance for the gang. The largest loser la
the man who bought the land at an exor
bitant price and who squealed when the
cava was not found. The other victims
have remained quiet. New Orleans Pe-caynna.
NEW SURGICAL FIELD OPENED
Latest Thing im Appllaarrs (.It's
f.ao4 Reealls First
Trial.
Th. first operation In thai country upon
a human being In which th. cavity of
th. tharaa waa opened while th. lung.
were Inflated from a chamber containing
air at a greater pressure than that ot
the atmosphere wa. performed last week
at the Oemisn hospital. New York City,
by rr. Willy Meyer. That Institution ha.
been the first hospital to be equipped with
the new positive air-pressure apparatus.
The operation upon the little boy for em
pyema thus far Is deemed to have been
successful. The patient's condition has
te?n satisfactory since the operation.
It la believed that this apparatu. will
open up wide field In surgery of the
thorax. I'p to this time many operations
In the thorax have been difficult to per
forin and other. Impossible. Owing to
the fact that a. soon as the cavity of
this thorax was opened the stmospherlo
pressure collapsed the lung, and breach
ing slopped.
The apparatus used, which is after the
mojele of Prof. Bauerbruch to a deg
consist, of two chamber, and a door from
between the chambers and u door from
the smallest chamber to tin- out-r air
