Buried Gold Story From Early Kansas Trail
An 1880s Lawrence tale recounts a government mule train from Fort Leavenworth to Lawrence, where three Californians hide and bury cash after a murder. Decades later a seer locates the site, sparking a boom in Douglas County with land captures and legends of treasure beneath the Sixth ward. Wedding notices close the item with details of Umar F. Waltney and Julia E. Reynolds.
