Report From Pass-a-Grille Says
Forgotten Spanish Galleon
Has Been Located.

JACKSONVILLE. Aug:. 2.—Fortune
hunters are flocking: to Pass-a-Grille
looking: for gold. No Death Valley
mines have been found, but it is re
ported that an old forgotten Span
ish galleon has been located. Pass-a-
Grille is a wee bit of a town located
on one of the numerous keys just off
the West Coast of Florida near the
city of St. Petersburg.
A well is being dug to supply the
town with water, and it was while this
work was being done that the excite
ment gtarted. The drill had sunk into
the earth with regular thuds for a
distance of 145 feet. Suddenly a pe
culiar substance was hit and the work
was stopped. Upon resuming opera
tions the drillers found that pieces
of wood were being pumped out of
the new well. This was kept up un
til twelve or fourteen inches had been
added to the depth of the well. These
pieces of wood were collected. They
filled a peck measure. The grain was
so filled with fine sand that it was
Impossible to determine the kind of
wood the drill had been cutting, but
scientists who have examined the
small pieces declare that the log or
beam from which they were cut by
the drill is well preserved.
People there are puzzled to figure
out how a piece of well preserved
timber could be located 145 feet be
low the surface. However, it is point
ed out that no hard pan had been en
countered when the wood was struck.
This would indicate that the timber
was covered by the sand that had been
drifting into the cove at the end of
the island for 200 to 300 years.
The more romantic believe that the
wood was drilled from the timbers ot
a lost Spanish treasure ship or from
some pirate's boat. Already plans have
been suggested for the formation of a
company to dig a deep open well by
the side of the one now being drilled
to discover what is at the bottom.
Several soldiers of fortune are already
on the ground who are willing to take
a chance.

PASTOR. CJIIGHT
Pensacola Stirred by Escapade of
Churchman, Whom Officers
Say Was Intoxicated.
PENSACOLA. Aug. 2.—The Rev
Mr. Doyle, one of the best known and
most popular pastors in this city, is
in the Pensacola Sanitarium, where
he is said to be in a serious condi
tion, suffering from mental aber
ration, following his arrest in a gam
bling raid in the Pastime Club, of
this city, on Sunday morning, July
20. The story of the raid caused a
sensation when it became known
that Father Doyle was among those
arrested by the deputies who unex
pectedly walked into the club shortly
before daylight and took about forty
men in custody charged with gam
bling
None, or at least few, of the friends
of the pastor had seen him since the
affair and it was generally supposed
he had left the city. It has Just been
learned that he is in the sanitarium
and that he has, apparently, lost his
mind.
It is also claimed by the deputies
who raided the club that the pastor
was intoxicated at the time the
raid was made.
Although the story has not been
printed in either of the local news
papers, it has spread throughout the
city and has been a leading topic of
conversation.
Members of the pastor's church
have done all they could to suppress
any publicity of the affair, but it has
become generally known all over the
city, and it has been impossible for
the friends of the pastor to enter
any denial, as the deputies and oth
ers who were in the crowd at the
time of the raid have been tree to
state that he was actually partici
pating in the game of chance at the
time the arrests were made, and that
he was intoxicated.
