    (continued from previous page)
    Caves. They ushed ta live in the house themselves, an' sthore all their threasures in the caves, an' anywan that id be passin' near them if they suspected them at all of havin plenty o' money, or havin' anything ta do wit the caves, they'd jusht shoot them on the spot.
    It is said that they buried an immence lot o' all kinds o' threasures there, an' that the half o' it was never dug up, an' me opinion is that if people searched right for it all the time, they might have achance o' gettin it.
