FWNII COIN IN A FIELD farmer Thomas Plows Up Money Buried by the Indians. WILL DIG An Indianapolis Mun Commits Suicide Through Despondency Caused by Liquor Drinking — Company of Persons Who Will Hunt For Silver—Quarry of Granite Discovered—Ravages of Fire. | Logansport, Ind., April 25.—A rich i find of old coin supposed to have been 1 buried by Indians has been found on the farm of A. H. Thomas, on the banks of Deer creek, at a point where an Indian I village was once located. While plowing over a piece of ground which had never before been disturbed, Rufus Armstrong unearthed 58 silver half dollars dated from 1807 to J 834. A bone that a physician pronounced to be a piece of the radius bone of the arm, was also found. Search will be made for more treasure. It is said that the Indians when they drew their money from the government would let the squaws take part of it and the bucks would go on a spree until their portion was spent. The squaws always buried the money. Many years ago, during one of these periodical debauchees, the villagers fled iu great haste. It is supposed that the fugitives in their hasty flight into the wilderness left large sums of money behind them. There will be much digging for buried treasure along the banks of De«r creek during the next few weeks. «- COMMITTED SUICIDE. John Engelken Dies From the Effect of a Dose of Morphine.
