    3. BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, AUG. 3, 1900 The heirs of the late Alfred WILLIAMS, of Bogard township, are richer now by $500 than they thought they were. Recently one of them found in a granary on the farm a can containing $500 in gold which had been placed there by Mr. WILLIAMS before his death. The money was buried deep in the wheat. There was no note in the can or any other evidence by which it could be learned as to when or why it was placed there. Mr. WILLIAMS evidently hid it for temporary safe keeping, little thinking that death would claim him before he would find occasion to use the money. – Washington Herald.
