self. The poor girl was SO starved that

Delavan Republican
Mr.. Church has shown US an Indian
arrow head which was found forty four
feet below the surface Of the ground, in
excavating a well on the premises of
MIR. Yost, four miles east of this place
The place where the well was dug was
not in a valley where the arrow head
might easily have been washed down
and been covered with soil, but on a
high elevation Of land Here is good
food for thought and speculation for
geologists as to the time when the az
roWhead was placed there, how it was
covered with soil to that depth, &c. &c.
