found at blazing star- 第8部分

Co。's　treasure　from　the　Sacramento　and　Red　Chief　Pioneer　Coach　on

the　night　of　September　1。　　Although　most　of　the　gang　were　arrested；

it　is　known　that　two　escaped；　who；　it　was　presumed；　cached　the

treasure；　amounting　to　nearly　500；000　in　gold；　drafts；　and

jewelry；　as　no　trace　of　the　property　was　found。　　Yesterday　our

esteemed　fellow　citizen；　Mr。　Cass　Beard；　long　and　favorably　known

in　this　county；　succeeded　in　exhuming　the　treasure　in　a　copse　of

hazel　near　the　Red　Chief　turnpike；adjacent　to　the　spot　where　an

unknown　body　was　lately　discovered。　　This　body　is　now　strongly

suspected　to　be　that　of　one　Henry　Cass；　a　disreputable　character；

who　has　since　been　ascertained　to　have　been　one　of　the　road　agents

who　escaped。　　The　matter　is　now　under　legal　investigation。　　The

successful　result　of　the　search　is　due　to　a　systematic　plan　evolved

from　the　genius　of　Mr。　Beard；　who　has　devoted　over　a　year　to　this

labor。　　It　was　first　suggested　to　him　by　the　finding　of　a　ring；　now

definitely　identified　as　part　of　the　treasure　which　was　supposed　to

have　been　dropped　from　Wells；　Fargo　&　Co's　boxes　by　the　robbers　in

their　midnight　flight　through　Blazing　Star。





In　the　same　journal　appeared　the　no　less　important　intelligence；

which　explains；　while　it　completes　this　veracious　chronicle：



〃It　is　rumored　that　a　marriage　is　shortly　to　take　place　between　the

hero　of　the　late　treasure　discovery　and　a　young　lady　of　Red　Chief；

whose　devoted　aid　and　assistance　to　this　important　work　is　well

known　to　this　community。〃
