I could not talk the Language of the local
tribesmen nor of the whites. He indi
cated by signs that he had found the
lump in the dry bed of a stream north
west of the fort. Then he strolled out
of the store over the horizon toward
his Mackenzie river home.
A white trapper who outfitted at
Fort St. John’s came in months after
ward with a quantity of coarse gold.
He, too. had found his treasure in the
dry bed of a stream northwest of the
fort. Hut that was all he would di
vulge. He lived thereafter on what
the frontier called the fat of the land,
spending his wealth with a lavish
hand in the Peace river settlements.
When he ran short of gold he went out
into the woods and came back with
nocaets bursting with more. Hlforts
.were made to follow him, but he was
too cunning for his trackers. He was
found frozen to death on the trail one
day and took his secret to the grave.
The drv river bed is thought to have
been once the channel of vhe Peace. It
is known as Lost river, though, except
after heavy rains, it uever contains
water. It is 25 miles northwest of Fort
St. John’s, which is on the eastern
watershed of the divide.
‘Mystery’ of Georgia
Tomb Finally Solved
Savannah, Ga.—Thenmystery of “The
Serpent Tomb” in Colonial cemetery
has been salved. . In this old burial
ground, in tha center of the downtown
district of Savannah for many years
visitors have viewed-with interest an
unmarked obelisk, on each side of
which a serpent twined to form a circle
was the only inscription. Visitors have
been entertained by strange stories of
its history. One of the favorite tales
was that it wasereeted to the memory
of a young man*who lost his life in a
duel and whose last request was that
his name should not be inscribed upon
his tomb. Other stories had it that
the stone marked the grave of Burton
Gwinnett, one of the signers from
Georgia of the Declaration of Inde
pendence.
Now the tomb bears the inscription*
, Archibald Bulloch
First President of Georgia
177(> 1777
Born in South Carolina, 1730.
Died in Savannah, 1777.
Patriot, Soldier, Statesman.
And beneath are these words, from
While’s statistics:
Georgians, let the memory of
Archibald Bulloch live in your
breasts. Tell your children of him
and let others tell another genera
tion.
The inscription has just been put on
the famous old tomb bv Archibald Bul
loch’s great-great-granddaughter, Miss
Emma Bulloch, of Washington, who
declares there has never been any
mystery about the old tomb; that she
has always been desirous of marking
the tomb of her famous oncestor, who
was the great grandfather of Mattie
Bulloch, the mother of Theodore Roose
velt.
“Dead” Man Jumps
Out of His Coffin
Warsaw.—Grand Guignol plays are
outdone by a drama enacted at Vilna a
few days ago.
An inmate of the local asylum died
and the coffined body was taken into
the chapel. Another lunatic, who had
seen the body of his comrade carried
away, stole into the -chapel, look the
body from the coffin and put it in the,
cupboard used to keep the church fur
| niture. This done, he laid down in the
j coffia,-covered himself with a shroud
add fell-asleep.
A few hours later a priest arrived
and -conducted a requiem service.
When k was finished the hearers lifted
j the coffin -to take it away for burial.
The motion- woke the madman, who
jumped-out. struck one of the bearers
a blow on the head and ran away. The
bearer coMapsed and died from fright,
while the.oriest and others lied, panic
stricken.
Their cries brought a crowd to the
chapel entrance. Eventually some of
the bravest-ventured inside to ascer
tain what had happened. They found
an empty coffin and a dead man on the
floor. Then they began to -search for
the shroud,, which the madman had
taken away with him. One of the
searchers opened the cupboard in the
hope of-finding something fit to cover
the body. Directly he did so the hid
den dead man fell on him bead first
and knocked him down.
The live man fainted from fright and
panic again tilled the chapel, the crowd
rushing out and scattering through the
city. It was only-after several hours’
work by the police that, the hatter was
cleared up and the popular excitement
subsided. _
