Lost Her Buried Treasure

On Saturday Isaac Davis, colored, was arrested on the charge of stealing $250 from a colored woman named Mrs. Elizabeth Evans, his mother also being charged with the same offence. According to the story of Mrs. Evans, Davis discovered a buried treasure. Davis has been working at the Kyer mili for some time, his family and Mrs. Evans both occupying the same house on N. Fourth avenue. Mrs. Davis was skeptical on the subject of banks and preferred to keep her reserve cash in an old tin can. Fearing that some one might steal her earning, she claims that some time ago she buri"d it in the ground in the rear of the house, marking the spot with a stake. Afterwards she says tiat Davis dug a ditch across the lot right where she buried the money, and as she is unable to find it she charges Davis with having stolen it. She notified the officers,and deputy sheriffs Peterson and Brenner visited the premises Saturday. As there were numerous stakes in the rear part of the lot, the officers thought Mrs. Evans might have lost her reckoning and dug up about half the lot before giving up the search. They then took Davis in custody. The Davises were admitted to bail in the sum of $500. Saturday night, Judge N. W. Cheever going their surety for their appearance before Justice Pond for examination tomorrow. The case has a gauzey appearance and it is very doubtful if Mrs. Evans will be able to make out a case.
