RANCHMAN'S GOLD.
ouNHiMla of Dollora Said to Rr Hid¬
den In n Colorado Motmcnln.
Gold coin believed to lie burled qu n
ranch or on White Cloud mountain Is
causing feverish excitement in the lit¬
tle town of NederlnnSs, a few miles
west of Boulder. At least fifty persons
armed with picks and shovels have
been searching the locality where the
riches are supposed»to be hidden. So
far the hunt has beeu fruitless, but It
will not t>e abandoned.
The story reads like the crudest fic¬
tion, but 'is absolutely true, ns resi¬
dents of the town will admit. Some
seven years ago Frank Flssjfer, a pros¬
perous ranchman on the Boulder farin,
twenty-five miles west of Boulder on
North Boulder creek, was taken to the
Boulder sanitarium suffering with an
ailment that gave him no hope of re¬
covery. Realizing that he had not long
to live, he took into his confidence a
fellow patient who was convalescing
and informed him that he had riches
buried on his ranch and in case of his
death,to search for it and dispose of it
as directed.
An idea struck him, however, and he
returned to the sanitarium, where he
informed Fisher lhat the latter had
better personally find the gold, else it
probably never would be uncovered.
A spring wagon was provided, and
Fisher was taken to the ranch and
conveyed ou a stretcher to the house.
Although extremely feeble, he raau-
aged to point out the particular log
which Spoil removal disclosed a'stove¬
pipe containing $4,000 In gold coin.
He was then conveyed to the field,
where he likewise designated the rock
pile undeF* which $800 more in gold
was found. This money was after¬
ward distributed among" Fisher's rel¬
atives, as the old man died within a
short time after the successful search.
But before passing away be assert¬
ed that Frank De Load, who had lived
on the rauch adjoining his owu on the
northwest, also had planted gold about
the premises and that this likewise
could be found. De Bond fifteen years
ago went back to Wisconsin to settle
an estate. He was killed by his broth¬
er In the brother’s front yard. Peter,
his brother, who had occupied the
ranch with him, was killed in a mine
a few. weeks before Frank went east.
Peter said he believeiNhe money was
buried in a cliff on White Cloud moun¬
tain, near the De Loud ranch.
Frank De Lond had no bank account,
and his brother recollected that when
he once asked him for a loan of $1,000
Frank went to the hill and brought
back the coin. However, Peter died,
followed a few years later by his
lirother Frank, and when Fisher, the
adjoining ranchman, found himself on
the verge of death he gave away his
own secret and as much as he could of
De Lond’s.
The method of secreting the gold In
the rock was as follows: A hole was
drilled Into the solid rock quite deeply,
and a long Iron sp«6n with wide flare
at the bottom was Inserted. The coin
was then dropped into the hole, and as
money was required the spoon was
hoisted up, as much money as was
desired was removed from the top of
the pile and then the spoon with the
remaining cash was again lowered into
place.
Only by the closest scrutiny could
this biding place be discovered. All
this description was given by Fisher,
who had obtained fragments of It dur¬
ing the preceding years. Fisher pass¬
ed away soon after relating his story.
The De Lond ranch has now been
leased to M. B. Ray, who, with many
others, has for a long time been ex¬
amining the bills In an attempt to lo¬
cate the secret recess. The people of
Nederland* are periodically at fever
excitement, and at times a dozen men
have been seen prowling over the
rocks.—Denver Post.
Pullman Car Jumps Track.
The rear trucks of Pullman palace
car Medina, which runs from Wash¬
ington, D. C., to Columbus, Ga.,
passing Griffin at 6.-06 P. M., over
the So uthern By., was derailed near
the depot last night and rolled on the
ties about fifty yards before the train
was stopped.
The derailment, according to the
train crew, was caused by a negro
employee closing the switch before
the rear trucks had cleared the frog.
No one hurt, but the coach was left
near the tank, where it will be placed
on the track are repaired.
