I totally agree with Blak Bart on this one. With all the action listed, I would totally expect to find a hidden cache somewhere near a log cabin around there. check old maps to see if any outlines for cabins are seen. Regardless if there is a cache or not, I am sure you will find something...maybe even that 38 revolver....the plot thickens!

:)
 

I think cabin too instead of coffin ??

Rodger, is the in order you uploaded the images the order in which they were layered when you unfolded them...just asking so as to see if I can get an order of what text comes first.
 

Awesome score, the first one ever that I've seen. I think everyone would love to find that note in a bottle. My Banner Vote is in.
 

Wait a second....
Under Frank Hubecheh the very next line is a place...

something Falls, Wis. Can anyone make out that first word for a something Falls, Wisconsin?

Could it be Chipewa?
 

Chippewa Falls

This is pretty awesome. I actually finally registered for this site (instead of just eyeballing) just so I could comment. My wild-a$$ guess it this letter was written to explain to the reader what might have happened if the writer ended up missing. Given the writing, I think the writer may have limited education so we may need to fudge on grammar and spelling.

I believe page 1 reads:
Arty Kennedy
Frank Rolland
Boss 36
1936
Frank Hubecheck
Chippawa Falls, Wis.
[Salonist, saloonist
1900
1910
Frank Rolland
Frank Hubacheck
[autumn, Austin, Androy] hotel
[favor]
its the [one] here just same talk
same girl robbed me as I looked at her


PS: google tells there was a Frank Hubacheck in the MN, WI area at the time who was an attorney and anti-loan shark crusader.
 

smells like a murder to me
 

Rolland
girl
[yoheadick, yolmadick]
wife
Joe Hotels wife
house too
all were ready to drive me in there or smack my head with rock if Rolland not get be boss
drunk Rolland come to log cabin crying me greenhorn, wanted to steal his cottage and everything

IMHO, it appears that the author of the notes was writing down things that happened as evidence.


Frank

Frank I think you are right...he may have been working for Frank Rolland (since Jeff found one such Frank as a reporter) so Frank would have been his "Boss"
I also think that the name beginning with a Y could be Yahudiah or Yehudiah
 

was going to shoot me with a 38 revolver so they made me stand a log cabin all day and if if did not so they could see me, shoot me at once
Rolland [in? and?] milks wagon 1896
yelling on cold "he see about it!"
I had to go in there the next day, all day, so
Rolland
girl
[yoheadick, yolmadick]

all were ready to drive me in there or smack my head with rock if Rolland not get be boss
drunk Rolland come to log cabin crying me greenhorn, wanted to steal his cottage and everything
