Probably eryone has dreamed at some time or other of finding buried treasure, but Benjamin Lieberman, bookkeeper, actually found it $92,000 worth of it and right in his own cellaf. After three days of investigation by police and U. S. secret service agents the mystery of how the treasure hoard in modern $10, $20 and $50 treasury and bank notes came'to be in the cellar of this modest home remained just that a mysev- 9 t mmm r" mimr haisss&mewu'X' "ft- . v ax 4- & Yanks Quell Riot in Austria VIENNA, AUSTRIA. Inmates of a civilian internment camp near Salzburg rioted for two hours after 40 prisoners escaped by ramming an American truck through the barbed-wir- e barricades. Ten inmates commandeered the truck and ran a gantlet of ineffective gunfire by the Austrian guards. in Thirty other prisoners foUowed v the wake of the truck. American troops arrived in short order and the escape route was blocked. Inmates still within the enclosure started a demonstration. Maj. Gen. Harpr J. Collins, com-mander of American forces in Austria, addressed them by loud speaker and persuaded them to return to their compounds. I - SAN DIEGO, CALIF. Twenty-tw- o hours alone in the desert left Danny Spencer tired and hungry but apparently otherwise in good condition. The youngster, who wandered away from his parents camp in search of his dog, Goober, was found by a posse. He had walked about three miles. The depression took away all that he had.. He now has it back but he feels worse than when he could tell he was in a hole without studying charts. He is better off by optical illusion and happier by figures he cant understand. He has been reconditioned, reconstructed, refinanced and revitalized, but he feels worse than ever. He is suffering from Reconfusion.

Pan-Americ- an Police- - Puzzled. Forty Flee Prison Camp; Al First j Mexican Lieb-erman- ed ' ' THINKS IT OVER pre-daw- in-la-w, But the police themselves did plehty of talking, although all they were able to say for certain was that, improbable as the tale of treasure trove sounded, it was true, and that every bit of the money was good. There were no counterfeits. Puzzling feature of the discovery of the hoard, according to police, is that the money is comparatively new money, and could not have been hidden in the house prior to 20 years ago when Lieberman and his wife, Jessie, moved into it. All the bills found were the modern small-siz- e currency. Prior to July, 1929, the large-siz- e bills were used. Moreover, police, believed the money had found its Way into the house within the last year. Neighbors pointed out' that last July a heavy rain had flooded all cellars in the neighborhood to a dept of two feet. The bills in the treasure hoard had never been soaked in water. One suggestion given to police about how the money might have come to be in the house was that somebody might have hidden it there, intending to return for it, during a period in which the house was virtually unoccupied. THE FORGOTTEN MAN railed. A moment later another freight train ripped into the sheet steel protruding from the other side of the freight, derailing its engine' and tender. The collision occurred . at Boyer Ridge, near Huntingdon, not iar from sites of the previous Red Arrow and Sunshine Special train wrecks, both of which also were in n hours. the tery. Just how Lieberman feels about the windfall of wealth which will become his if nobody steps forward to claim it could not be ascertained, because the police held him and members of his family under guard for their own protection, the police explained. And the police would permit no one to talk to them. In Cardboard Box. Discovery of the treasure, police reported Lieberman as saying, was a result of a series of misadventures. Several electric bulbs blew out in his home, according to the story. Lieberman went into the cellar to look for light bulbs. In doing so, he accidentally knocked down a shelf. This made a repair job necessary, so he began searching for Repair materials. During this search he came upon a corrugated cardboard box such as is used to pack canned goods. He opened it and found the money. He called his wife. She knew nothing about the money. She questioned his son, Morton, recently discharged from the navy and now attending Temple university, and his old daughter, Regina. They knew nothing of the money, Then he telephoned his brother- -' Morris Kaplan, 63. The lats, ter held a conference with the and as a result Lieut.
