who was living In Texas, to come to see her
that she had a secret to tell him. She want
ed to tell him where she Is supposed to have
secreted, or hid away, some $1,200 in gold,
When Mr. Rogers arrived at the bed side ol
bis sister, the disease had made such progress
that she hud become unconscious. Never
recoveiing consciousness she soon died without
disclosing the whereabouts of her money,
In her clothine was tound. after her death,
S135 in gold. The empty belt which was
fouud bore evidence of having carried coin
at isome time. It was worn ho as to show the
circles or imprints of the money.
Miss Rogers was a school teacher all her
life, and died at the age of seventy, much respected
by all who knew her.
She leaves some town property In Mount
Parmel. which cost her about SI, 100, but
which has somewhat depreciated in value.
Since her death diligent Bearch has been
made for thp bidden treasure, but, as far as
