Parties in Lexington Monday
reported a remarkable And of
Mr. Ben Snider about ten days
ago. While out plowing on the
old Jack Finch farm, in Conrad
Hill township, Mr. Snider un
earthed a bar of metal weighing
something like fifteen pounds.
He didn't know what it was, but
carried it home and threw it
aside. Later a neighbor was ex-
i.
amining it and offered him $50
for the bar; Snider refused the
offer and it is now said the bar
is gold and is worth at least $1,
000. Various theories are advanced
as to how the gold came to be
buried in the ground. Ono is
that a negro, named Fred Payne,
who worked in the old Conrad
Hill mine years ago, stole tho
bar and buried it. A few days
after the theft he was taken sick
and died without divulging tho
secret as to the whereabouts- of
his buried treasure. Whether
this is correct or no wo are not
