This cave is located on the Wetmore road seven miles from the city.” The same article reviewed other caves and introduced Robber’s Cave. “The North Loop cave is the best known in San Antonio. Ten years on and the Light gave the cave a consistent name. The article mentioned a cave on the Wetmore road and the unconnected acequias. Quarry excavation fueled these legends and possible connections with local caves. The Light’s coverage later that year debunked notions of underground passages between San Antonio missions, subterranean store rooms, and local caves. This “Cave of the Quebrantahuesos, on the Wetmore road, six miles from San Antonio” gave a relatively accurate position of Robber Baron. Multiple stories, names, roads, and caves bewildered any avid reader of newspapers. No matter the results of the treasure hunt seeds of stories sprouted. Anticlimactically, Saur discovered no treasure, but he pressed on to commercialize the cave for guano mining and tourism. Was there “treasure stowed there by the warrior chieftain of the Gente del Camino?” Nor did they object when Saur tore down the wall. The long dead bandits did not fend off the owner George Saur as he discovered a man made wall. The article fancifully speculated at a supposed colorful past as a lair of highwaymen. In 1911 the San Antonio Light reported on an ominous though captivating Cave of the Quebrantahuesos or cave of the bone breakers. It is certain that individuals knew of Robber Baron well before the San Antonio Express or San Antonio Light newspaper accounts, but few distinguished it easily from hundreds of other caves in northern Bexar County. Unfortunately, Robber Baron fell into a deplorable state, but the Texas Cave Management Association (TCMA) once again deciphered the twists and turns. The cave’s owners cut through this labyrinth of darkness with commercial aims. Adventurous boys and authorities lost their way multiple times, but all were rescued. Primarily, the San Antonio Light and Express reported on it under several names, fanciful tales, and confusing locations. This reputation extends beyond the cave walls into Robber Baron’s history.
