Frank Maxwell, once a Connell’s window decorator who served in Butte during the war and was gassed in France, reportedly developed an aversion to sugar after being buried alive in a sugar-filled shell hole at Argonne. He now works in a Seattle department store as a window decorator. He recalls the sugar mine quote with humor and says he may someday search for the treasure.
