Found the Hidden Treasure.

Two weeks ago, Jose Analla , reputed to be the richest man in Lincoln county, died near White Oaks.  During his time it was often reported that he had large sums of money buried, and several unsuccessful attempts were made to rob him.  Even when death cama Analla would not reveal to his family where his money was hidden.  He demanded that his body be wrapped in a sheet without a coffin, and that he be buried bare-footed.  His wishes were followed.  The hiding place of his money was not discovered until last week, when a grandson of Analla accidentally dug up a can filled with shining $20 gold pieces.  How much more of the eccentric old man's wealth is buried is not known, but nearly every one in the vicinity has turned treasure seeker and is looking for buried wealth in all likely and unlikely places.
