Thoy did not know what the' ties
were for, neither did the men who
looked upon them in town, ami
many were tho suggestions made as
to what they were for and how long
thoy had been in the water. Tho
moBt general bolief was, that they
were purobased for a moon shine

were hidden in the water when the
project was abandored.
The ties were a mystery to all.
Thoy were" eight tcet lone with a
