Friday, 7 June 1912--$7000 TREASURE UNEARTHED? Judge Howard C. Sartain, of Rock Springs, Howard county according to report here, exhumed a treasure of six thousand six hundred and seventy six dollars near an old chimney which stands on the farm of Isaac Stanley, about five miles south of Glasgow. It is reported that the money has been buried since the Civil War. The cabin which stood where the treasure was found was occupied by people who left rather mysteriously. It was believed by old residents that the people had money but it was not known how they accumulated it. It is also reported that Judge Sartin received a letter about ten days ago from one of the party, who now lives in Denver, Colorado, and who directed him to the place where the jar containing the money was buried. The finding of the Eldorado has caused considerable excitement in the Rock Springs neighborhood. No authentic information regarding the unearthing of the money can be had at this time--Fayette Advertiser. Friday, 7 June 1912--PERRY ELLIOTT IS A SUICIDE--Perry Elliott suicided on Tuesday at his home six miles north of Huntsville. He was found hanging on his own premises and the only known cause was despondency over continued ill health. He was 78 years of age and made his home with an older brother and sister, both unmarried. The brother, Joran Elliott, is 80 and the sister, Miss Bettie Elliott, is 82. the two bachelors and their spinster sister owned 1000 acres of land and had between twenty and thirty thousand loaned out at interest. The farm home of the Elliotts, where the youngest brother hung himself, is one of the finest farms in this section of the state. Mr. Elliott was in Huntsville on Monday and told friends that he was not much and had just as well be out of the way. He was missed on Tuesday but the body was not found until that night. The sister and two brothers were a congenial family and generally liked by their neighbors. The older ones are grief stricken over the rash deed of the youngest member of the trio. The only assignable cause is that he was temporarily insane and that this state of mind was brought about by brooding over his state of health. The unfortunate man hung himself in a corn crib in a lot near the house. He got up early in the morning and went out to feed the stock. His brother was with him and when he went to breakfast he expected that the younger man would follow him. In a little while the search was commenced and when found he was cold in death--Moberly Democrat.
