S. M. Marlin, living west of town, was arrested Saturday for killing a balky horse in an attempt to conquer it. The case was set for Saturday evening, but on account of the dangerous sickness of one of Mr. Marlin’s children it was continued, and so far nothing further has been done in the matter. Th’s horse hia been purchased of H&lligan Bros, a few days before for S 1 GO and it is reported that it woujd- not work in harness, and that Marlin had been appraised of that fact, but that he had bought it for a saddle horse only. While a balky horse is the most provoking thing on earth, Mr. Marlin should have used milder means to conquer it. He is a very hard working man and has a large family to support. In all probability the matter has gone far enough to insure that a repetition of this unfortunate affair will not occur again. BURIED TREASURE PLOWED UP. Fowler Republican: No little excitement was created in Montmorenci, Wednesday when Samuel Sims, the sexton of the cemetery, plowed up $230 in U. S. gold certificates. There were two one hundred dollar bills, one twenty and one ten. They were found in an old brass can which had been carefully sealed and the receptacle had evidently lain in the ground years as the bills were showing signs of decay. The find was made on ground formerly

occupied by an old church which was built in an early day by a sect who called themselves “Radicals.” Some time ago the church and ground were purchased by the cemetery association and the building razed to the ground. How the money came to’ be there is much’ of a mystery and many theories are advanced to account for its presence. One story is that in early days an old man named James Brands lived in the vicinity. He had no confidence in banks and as he was well to do he buried his treasure in the ground. It is expected that other finds will be made in the vicinity. Others think that the money may have been hastily hidden by some individual who had cause to fear an attack from highwaymen, or it may be a part of the plunder of some member of a gang of outlaws who never got back to profit by his ill-gotten gain.
