Camp Radziminski's Lost Payroll

Camp Radziminski also has its tale of buried treasure. The tale has drawn hunters armed with evidence that a government payroll of fourty thousand dollars was shipped by wagon to the camp to pay the soldiers for several months' back salary. Some distance from the camp a bad of raiders seized the gold. Van Dorn's marksment lost little time in overtaking the robbers and shot them all. But when their bodies were examined, no gold was found. Local tradition says that somewhere about the environs of Otter Creek near the old military camp the payroll is still hidden.
