Hens as money makers Jiave the "goose that laid the golden eggs" backed off the map, as far as the flock of Edward Morln of, Sharon Springs is concerned. He is $1,3&6 richer than he waa before starting the chicken business. This sum was not made gathering eggs. All he had to do was to step out into the backyard und pick up $50 bills after his energetic hens had uncovered the' burted treasure, which amounted in all to $2,710. The Morlns live in a house formerly occupied by lioken Olson and wife. Mr. Olson had passed eighty and Mrs., Olson was n'n<* feeble. They were known to have money. When Mr. Olson was declared insane four years ago and sent to the State Hospital at Lamed, the money he was supposed to have could not bo found. Mrs. Olson could apparent iy shed no light on the subject. Before Mr. Olson was adjudged insane he said Mrs. Olson had buried or hidden the-money and would not divulge.its hiding place. . Olson remained in the Lamed institution until his death a couple of yesHm ago. Mrs. Olson lived in the family home until a year ago when he we.nt to Chicago to live with an "only son. It was then Morin rented tlif home ami moved his flock of Leghorns on the premises. Morin kept, at his job firing engine. for the Union Pacific Railway. I he money aeratehed out of the ea th was in bills ranging from $10 to $50, so badly weather-worn it was necessary to send the entire amount to the Treasury Department aff Washington. The new money was returned. Morin notified the son of Mr. Olson. They agreed to split the money equally. Mrs. Olson had also died in the mean time. Major H. O. D.
