Rabbits Uncover
Trove.
Treasure
Edward Woods and Thomas
Dickinson, lumbermen employed at
Keed s sawmill, at Oleopolis, 12
miles east of Oil City, took a day
off to huut rabbits last week and as
a result are nearly $4000 richer.
Incidentally, scores of men are
searching the hillsides near Oleo-
polis, hoping to duplicate the gold
en treasure discovered by Woods
and Dickinson. '
The two men were on ths track
of a rabbit which entered a hole.
While they were digging with the
ends of their guns they uncovered
an iron kettle filled with bright
gold coins. Woods and Dickiuson
hastily lifted the kettle and found
it contained $3600 in gold and $22
in silver.
The men carried the kettle with
its gold coins to the camp and ex
hibited it to their fellow-workmen.
Work was instantly suspended, the
lumbermen, together with drillers
and pumpers from near-by oil
leases, rushing to the spot indicat
ed by Woods and Dickinson, about
two miles from Oleopolis.
Old-time residents believe the
money was buried by Jchn Cald
well, an eccentric farmer, who died
in an insane asylum nearly 30
years ago.
Caldwell, who was a widower,
sold his farm for $10,000 during
the early oil development.
He withdrew the money from a
bank at Plummer, then a flourish
ing oil town.
Aged residents recall being shown
the mouey by Caldwell, but never
knew how he disposed of it before
becoming insane.

Amu Gould Tirvi of Pi-inco.
May R'vWcd rumor Husband.
The Wotl I recently printed the
following:
Prince-s Heliede Sagan. former
ly Miss Anna Gould, of New York,
will apply for a separation within
two months and will sooner or later
re-wed her first husband, Count
Boni dc Castcllane. The "World"
is informed 011 high authority.
The Maiquis de Castcllane, fath
er of Boni. told the "World ' tliat
Princess Anna's charges against De
Sagan resolve themselves into ten
distinct alienations, and are in brief:
First That while making vio
lent protestations of live to her
on the way to America he was in
constant communications with
Mile. Labrusse; that while the
Prince, Mine, Gould, her three
children and a tutor were in one
carriage en route to Havre, Mile.
Labrusse was in an adjoining ve
hicle. Second That he had disreput
able quarters while he was in
Buetms Ayres, South America.
Third That on the way back
from America he flirted publicly
with a little actress of New York,
who called him "Princey." .
Fourth That he still keeps two
sets of bachelor apartments, one on
Rue Cambon, the other on Rue
Sedillot.
Filth That his name was disa
greeably mentioned at the obse
quies of a former friend.
Sixth That she fears for the
safety of her children among De
Sagan's attendants.
Seventh That he failed to use
properly money she gave him for
settling oills from Poole, the tailor,
and other annoying tradesmen.
Eighth That he insisted on de
ceiving lus cousin, uaron oe lieau-
ville.
Ninth That he was "cut" at
George's American bar on Rue
Cambon by such fashionab'es as
Marquis de Ganay, Henry Ridge
way and others, who refused to al
low the Prince even to throw dice
with them.
Tenth That though the Prince
promised her the highest social
standing, distinguished people like
Duke de Luvnes, Duke d Uze,
Duke de Morny and Duke de la
Rochefoucauld refuse to speak to
her, aud no one of them visits her.
It has taken the former Anna
Gould several mouths to find out
what the world knew of her present
husband, namely, that t was a
worthless titled beggar, and a man
of most vicious habits. The wo
man, however, is entitled to very
little sympathy, and she is not get
ting much.
Foresting Abandoned Farms.
The abandoned farms ot New
England have been taken advan
tage of to a considerable extent for
forestry work. During the past
year, according to the New York
Press, about 2S'xd acres have been
planted with trees, and iu the course
of a few years these will prove pro
fitable investments. In addition to
this, several of the water companies
have adopted the tree-planting
policy as a means of foresting the
water supply. The redemption of
these farms is a very important
thing to this section, for the increas
ing number of abandoned farms
has been a matter of serious alarm
for a long time, and this step seems
to offer a solution to the problem
of utilizing the laud which has been
standing idle. In Massachusetts
this area of waste has beeu comput
ed at 10 per cent, of the total area,
while in Rhode Island alone there
are no less than 22S of these aband
oned farms.
