Show Treasure Diggers Keep Busy Although favor seeking has been known in the city and county building, Monday was the first time in the history of the place that treasure-seeking went on at the county official (buildings. Monday morning, guided by the hypnotic revelations of a young girl, placed under the spell by Verne Anderson, three men were feverishly digging for treasure, while a large crowd stood agape to see treasure hunting going on in the back yard of the city and county coun-ty building. Assisted by a young man from California and an aide from Provo, Mr. Anderson Tuesday noon had a hole 12 feet deep and about six by six feet in size at the top. The treasure, said by the girl placed in hypnosis to be a metal box filled with greenbacks was "supposed "sup-posed to be" seven feet from the surface of the ground. When it was not found at that depth the men'widened: the hole and dug northward. By Tuesday noon they had apparently given up. Permission to seek for the phantom phan-tom treasure was given by County Commissioner A. "O. Smoot. The men paid no heed to a crowd of scoffers gathered around the hole and stated that "the treasure treas-ure is there as sure as I breathe." |
