Murray is well known in the western part of Grant County, having during the past two years worked for several different people there, among them Drew Windham, one of the gentle- men who assisted in his capture. On Friday last Lucio Lazo, a Mexican boy in the employ of Bell & Stephens, at Pinos Altos, while digging holes for fruit trees, unearthed a tin can full of twenty dollar gold pieces. He put the money into his pocket and at noon started home with it, but a Chinaman, also employed in the yard, saw him counting the gold and reported the find to Bell & Stephens. Mr. Bell, it is stated, buried the money several years ago. Lazo has since made a demand for the money through his attorneys, Bail & An- cheta and Fielder & Fielder. Lazo claims the money at treasure trove. Bell & Stephens had the money counted by William Watson who stated that the total amount of the find was $600. It is thought that there is more buried treasure in and around Pinos Altos. While Pete Jochem was in Lordsburg one night last week, some thief rode his horse off, going towards Mexico.
