Slimy VANISHES
• A very peculiar disappearance of j
Miss Hilda Laufdahl confronts the i
authorities and they are at a loss j
to get even a slight clue as to the j
cause. It seems that after the pass
ing of Mr. Peter Adair, the house
hold was in a state of turmoil, and j
Miss Walters, who has been the!
I house guest of Miss Orpen, the j
;ward of Mr. Adair, did not notice
the absence of her maid until the
j morning after the discovery of Mr.
; Adair’s lifeless body in the library.
Miss Walters states that she know§
i of no reason why her maid should
suddenly leave without letting her
know, and she stated to the press j
this afternoon that as soon as she j
heard from her wire, she could pos
sibly give a more definite statement j
as to why she would—-but just you '
come to the Liberty theatre Decern -
jber 20 and see this mystery cleared
up. The Little Theatre Club pre
sents the “Call of the Banshee”

TELLS OF DISCOVERY MILLION
DOLLARS WORTH OF GOLD
BARS; ROBBED
MOUNT AIN AIR N. M., Dec., 12,
(IP)—Discovery of a gold cache in a
cave containing poured bars of the
precious metal which he estimated
as worth more than $1,000,000, was
claimed here by Will Douthit, 21,
explorer. Douthit returned to
Mountainair with a story of the
rich find and of later being kid
napped by* men whom his secret
had become known.
The youth said he discovered the
cave, entered the cavern until he
found the treasure, and then left,!
taking with him a bar of gold
weighing 20 pounds. Walking to the !
nearest ranch, he obtained a ride ;
to Hatch, N. M., where he stopped
at a hotel for the night.
During the night, Douthit claim
ed, five armed men entered his
room, awakened him and forced1
him to lead them to the cave.
He said two automobiles were
loaded with the gold and taken
away and that the remainder of the
precious metal was transported to
another cave. Douthit asserted he
was held prisoner for several davs
by the men who kidnapped him
from his room. Finally he escaped
while the men were repairing a
punctured tire near Socorro, N. M.,
he said.
The hiding place to which the
gold was moved is known to him
and he expects to start search for
what is left, Douthit declared. He
planned to file a mineral rights
claim on the land where the cave
Is located.
The youth’s strange story was
given credence by some to whom he
told it and ridiculed by others.
There is a popular legend that a
vast sum of gold lies hidden in a
cave not many miles from Moun
tainair and hundreds of persons
have searched for it during the last
half century. One explorer spent
$60,000 some years ago in a vain ef
fort to locate the gold mentioned in
the legend. Douthit dscribed some
of the gold bars as being two and a
half feet long and four inches thick
while others were smaller.
A blizzard descended upon
Fairbanks last week snow falling
to a depth of about four inches.
Roads were blocked for a few
hours.
