BLACK RIVER FALLS Independent:
| The graders of the Packwaukee and
Montello Railroad recently dug through
mound some three miles west of Mon
tello, and at a depth of seventeen feet
unearthed large collection of human
bones and other interesting relics of an
extinct race. 1t appeared as if the bod
les had been thrown promiscuously into
one common grave. Portions of the
skeletons measured showed that the
bodies of which they formed part must
have been eight feet in height. Near
by were found large quantities of large
copper beads of rude workmanship,
some of them two and half inches long.
An oak tree two feet in diameter grew
on top of the mound.
THERE arrived in our city yesterday
direct from Germany, bright and
active man, a weaver by profession.
Naturally his first effort, on reaching

support his interesting and promising
family. Being an excellent workman

thoroughly understood the English
looms in our factories, his situation was
an assured fact at once. We learn this
gentleman was obliged to quit Germany
for this reason: When the news of Gar
fields death reached the factory where
he was working, one of the workmen on
! his floor made the remark that it would
be good day for the people if all kings
and emperors of Europe were dead.
