Here are the top three stories in Cedar Park-Leander today:

1. Throughout Texas, there is rumored to be an estimated $340 million worth of buried treasure. According to one legend, in the 1920s the Comanche tribe were chasing a train of men and pack mules carrying a very large load of silver, and the men buried the silver outside of Leander to keep it from being stolen. According to Lone Star Treasure, the story is based on a Spanish document from the conquistador era. While the silver has not been found yet, Lone Star Treasure reported that a ruby arrowhead weighing 15 karats and several other gemstones were found by W.E. Snavely of Taylor in 1925.
