Co。's treasure from the Sacramento and Red Chief Pioneer Coach on
the night of September 1。 Although most of the gang were arrested；
it is known that two escaped； who； it was presumed； cached the
treasure； amounting to nearly 500；000 in gold； drafts； and
jewelry； as no trace of the property was found。 Yesterday our
esteemed fellow citizen； Mr。 Cass Beard； long and favorably known
in this county； succeeded in exhuming the treasure in a copse of
hazel near the Red Chief turnpike；adjacent to the spot where an
unknown body was lately discovered。 This body is now strongly
suspected to be that of one Henry Cass； a disreputable character；
who has since been ascertained to have been one of the road agents
who escaped。 The matter is now under legal investigation。 The
successful result of the search is due to a systematic plan evolved
from the genius of Mr。 Beard； who has devoted over a year to this
labor。 It was first suggested to him by the finding of a ring； now
definitely identified as part of the treasure which was supposed to
have been dropped from Wells； Fargo & Co's boxes by the robbers in
their midnight flight through Blazing Star。
In the same journal appeared the no less important intelligence；
which explains； while it completes this veracious chronicle：
〃It is rumored that a marriage is shortly to take place between the
hero of the late treasure discovery and a young lady of Red Chief；
whose devoted aid and assistance to this important work is well
known to this community。〃
