and an Examination Made-Further Ev-
dences of Cannibalism in the Greedy
Party.
The body of Private Whistler. of the
Greedy expedition, which was buried at
Delphi, Indiana, was exhumed in the pres
ence of his family and relatives and repre-
sentatives of the press, and an examination
made. Ten minutes were required to loos-
en- the bolts of the casket. The casket was
found filled With cotton waste. Holding
the body in place with hemp cord, heavy
blanket was next to the body; there was no
further clothing. The head was covered
with cloth and q skull cap with seal
skin outside; the remains of pair of nit
tens were on the hands. The face and trunk
were in good state of preservation. The
red hair and beard easily identified him to
his friends. All the flesh had been cut from
the arms and legs. The limbs were perfectly
bare OF muscle. The right foot, which had
been frozen, was not touched by the knife,
and the left hand was cut only to the wrist.
The breast had not been touched, but every
particle of flesh was stripped from the back.
The physicians found nothing in the stom-
ach. The doctors will make no report of
their observations unless asked to do SO BY
the Government.

A delegation of ComanChe, kiowa and

desire to lease between two and three mil

the other Bureaus.
Judge Thoman, of the Civil Service Com

ninth day of the disease, and the patient is

needed.
The following has been promulgated by

ments of cattle until after Oct. LIST. The
disease seem to have been introduced by
animals sold at Virginia, Cass county, ILL.,,
in February, 1884, and these animals were
widely distributed through the Western
States. 1t is hoped therefore that persons
owning cattle traceable to this sale, and all
others having cattle effected with diseases
of the lungs, will at once mnunicate
with DR.. Solomon, Chief of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, care of the Breeders Ga

ton of their herds and the symptoms of
their disease. The attention of the owners

of Animal Industry, which makes |
it misdemeanor punishable by fine of
not less than 500, or mort than $500, or by |
for not more than one year,
or both, for shipping cattle affected with |
any contagious affection or communicable
disease, and especially the disease known
as 'pleuro-pneumonia," from one State or
Territory to another. The cordial cooper

interested in the welfare of our cattle in

avert this danger which now menaces the
herds of the country.
