{3 au N47 hia) LOVE FOR GOLD ENDED IN' GLOOM Dug Up $47,000 In Old Cans and Coffee Pots --Gold and Currency Men working with ficks and spades on a Nebraska farm dug up old cans and coffee pots containing $47,000 in gold and currency, As much more is believed to be buried on the place but may naver be re- covered, It was the hoard of misers, two brothers who labored for vears, lived in dirt and squalor, never married and repulsed all attempts at friend- ship; 11 with no other apparent pur- pose than to accumulat? money (hat they might gloat over it, 'A disap- pointment in love and the loss of their savings hy the failure of a bank many years ago, turned them against the world and they adopted the method of burial as the best means of hiding their savings. Finally death claimed one ~f the brothers and age and illness render- ed the other almost helpless. Then the efforts of would-he robbers to find the treasure with dynamite led the authorities to make a search and reveal the caches and the strange story. The foregoing summary of a long stepry In the Kansas City Star refers to Theodore and Charles Steelow, Mving in the southern part of lLan- castep County, Neh,, where officers recently unearthed $47,000 which had been buried about the two-room shack on the premises. Investigators | were drawn to the farm hy an at- tempted robbery by persons who had knowlédge that somewhere about the 320-acre farm an immense sum of money was buried. The culprits visited the farm while Charles Sice- low was away and blew the shack to pieces in their attempl to find the missing money. The explosion was heard late at night and was followed by two more. blasts that completely shattered the bujlding Neighbors were attracted to the Steelow house hy the explosions and it is thought they frightened « the robbers away before they obtained any money. Hoard Uncovered The hoard of morey was un earthed the following day when re latives asked that officers of a Lin- ecin trust company take «barge of the place until the financial aflairs of Steelow could be straightened out. Theodore Steelow, eighty-four years old, had died oniy two weeks before and relatives had induced his brother Charles, eighty-six years old, to live in Lincoln during the winter months lest he perish fiom the cold. While in Lincoln he was "from their 320 acre farm, | real, placed in a sanitarium, where he was under observation for his sanity, He was adjudged sane, bnt in need .of a guardian, ) Attorneys for the surviving Stee- low found the money hidden about the premises in an old well almost a mile from the home. The first lot found amounted to $88,000, but fur- ther search revealed another cache of nearly $10,000 more hidden in the abandoned well,' Search Not Ended, But T. A. Miller, veteran hanker of Crete, Neb,, and financinl adviser for the Steelows many years ago, he- lieves fhat the total of the money hidden about the 'mystery tarm' is nearer $100,000 than the $47,000 which has already been found, Mill- er bases his statement on the fact that in 1900, when hard.times were experienced in that part of Nebras- ka, and. banks were {ailing by the dozens, Edward Steelow, a third hrother, living in Chicago, sent thé pair %26,000, which ho had bpr- rowed from them, They never spent a ceat excopt for hare necessities, Annnally they cleared between $3,000 and $5,000 The Steelow hrothers came to this country from Europe about 1865 and settled in New York. There they worked on the docks for a time and hy thrifty living acenm- ulated enough money to go to Chi- cago, where they cou)d start up a money-lending business. By good busined® the pair prospered heyond their expectations and by 1873 nad amassed a goodly fortune, Then came the financial japic of 1873 and swept away thelr total savings.

His one thought was to warn Jumper the Hare, that big cousin of his, that great dunger was near, As for Jum- per, he really did no thinking, He didn't know where the danger was or what the danger was. But by ex- perience he had found out that the surest way for him to eseape an encmy was to dodge. So now, With- out taking time to think, he dodged. It was lucky for him that he did, As it was Hooty the Owl barely missed him. Hooty's @réat claws found only snow, J But, Hooty, big as he ig, is quick in the air. like a flash he turn and struck again. and again Jumper dodged just in time But Jemper had no time to see wher: he was going as he dodged, dnd this time he 'dodged within jamping distance of Reddy Fox, Like a red flash Reddy sprang. Had there heen no snow he certainly would have caught Jumper, But the snow interfered and once more Jumper dodged. Now Hootly the Great Horned Owl had wheeled and turnod and struck again just as Jumper dodged the third time and Reddy Fox 3 it brought Hooty so close that one wing brushed Reddy's nose. stantly Reddy snapped ard his teeth closed on that wing, Then | happened, Reddy didn't ave hold of the fleshy part of thit wing, He merely had a mouthful of the big, stiff feathers. Instantly Hooty hegan beating him with that other great wing, and those blows hurt. All the time Hooty was striking ar Reddy with his hooked bill and with great claws, and all the rime was hanging on and trying to keep out of the way of bill and ¢ How the snow flew! It quite he two fighters. Peter Rabbit was so excited that he almost fell off that hollow log into the deep snow, He sat up straight and Lis. eves looked as if they were trying to pop right out of his head. He could hear Reddy snarling and he conld hear the snapping of Hooty's bill. Two or three t Reddy yelped. Peter | knew then thet Hooty had Reddy with bill or claw. And then the: fight ended as Sud- i begun.

Reddy sprang | snow looking vp and snarling at Hooty perched in'a tree just out of reach, Reddy's coat was torn, but he appeared not to even know it, Hooty's wing had lost one hig feather and some of the others werg broken at the ends. He could fly, but that wing wouldn't be as good as the other for a long time, But Tiooty didn't appear to hé aware of this. Those two were tco busy quar. reling to think of their injuries, "What right had yeu to, ry to steal my dinner?" demanded Reddy. "It wasn't your dinner; it' was mine, gnd if you had left me 2lona I would have 'had it," retorted Hooty. : "It wasn't yours. I saw' Jumpep long before you did, and you know it," declared Reddy, "Then why. didn't you catch him?" jetred Hooty. "You know as well as I do that you didn't have a chance in the world to cateh that long-legged dodger. He was playing with .you.. That is what he was doing, playing with you. You were just floundering ahout in the snow and he was having no trouble at all, I tell you, he was my dinner, If he hadn't been warned' -- Hooty didn't finish, but turned to stare over at Peter Rabbit, He had just remembered Peter, Peter didp't wait a second, He dived into: that hollow log before Hooty could move. Then Hooty and Reddy took up that silly quarrel again. They called cach other pames and each stuck to it that he had been robbed of a by the other, And all the time the cause of their silly quarrel, Jumper the Hare, was sitting snug- ly hidden under some hemlock honghs, thankful for his escape and chuckling as he listened to the silly quarrel over him, The next story: Walker."
