suburban town of Coyocan at a

wilderness known as Pedrugal or

Reread at lbs Stake.
Louisville, Ky^, Sept. 4^—The
Courier-Journal has a special from
Somerset. Ky., which atates that
oewa has reached there of a brutal
outrage committed upou the
twelve-year-old daughter ot Wm.
Oatec, a prominent and wealthy
farmer residing n few miles from
Monticello. The particulars given
a correspondent by n gentlemen
from Wayne county are as fol
low*:
Mr. Oates has two vouog dangh
ters sged respectively 12 and 14
years. Mr. end Mrs. Oates left
home on business and left the two
young girls in charge of the house
Mr. Oates had in his employ n
documents which convince him
that it was in the Pedrogal that j
Montezuma hid hia treasures,
among other things a huge goldea j
sun. A few weeks sgo a valuable I
black pearl was found and also an
emerald near some skeletons die-
covered in a subterranean passage.
Your "correspondent has visited
the excavations and they are cer-
tainly remarkable, having already
disclosed a subterranean staircase, j
winding passsges and vault*, jab
bones and skeletons destitute oj I
tuaka or teeth, thus, according to
Senor Mercard^ proving beyond a
question«that.the Indians there!
buried were pure Astecr. He esti-
mates the value of buried treasure ]
at not lees than $20,000,000, but
aaya that others engaged in hunt
ing the treasure pnt ft at not less I
than $80,000,000. The foremost]
archaeologists here are of the
opinion that something may bel
found and they agree with Senor
Mercard that the intrinsic value of
the things buried by Monteznms |
