    Hidden Treasure (Cont-d)
    used to say that in distant ages it was used as a secret hiding place for thieves when they were hunted by the police to bring them to justice. It seems it is there that the hidden stores of treasure lie.
    Two men went seeking for the hidden treasure. When they were nearing the spot an unatural creature leaped from its position and seized one of the men. The second ran and died soon after. From what effect he died from has not yet been discovered.
