David Davis Seriously III.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, May 6.-The friends
of ex-vice President David Davis are
alarmed over the condition of his health.
His general health has not been good for
some time past. aud he has become much
reduced in flesh. The present alarm is
caused by the appearance on his left
shoulder joint a huge csrbunckle, the con-
tinued development Of which will, it is
feared, endsnger bis life. The carbunckle
is as large as a mans fist, and extremely
painful. In 1864 Mr.. Davis came near
iosing his life from q similar attack.

4 HORRIBLE FIND.
The Bones of a Man Found Back
of Devils Elbow.

The Bones OF n Man Found Back
of Devils Elbow.
Saturday afternoon and night the peo-
pie living over about Devils Elbow were
thrown into n state of excitement by the
report that the skeleton of a man had
been found in the pinery just back of
that place, by a young colored boy who
was hunting in the woods.
Investigation proved the report to he
true. Laying with the head TO the roots
of a pine, the skeleton of a man was
found, the flesh having been completely
stripped from the bones by the animals
and buzzards. The appearance of the
skeleton and the condition of the clothes
indicated that the man had been dead
several months. and that he was prob
ably the victim of last winters freeze.
The clothes consisted OF an overcoat
and neat suit OF clothes, the pants
stuck into the tops Of the boots. The
linen shirt had in the bosom two gold
studs inlaid with pearl, collar button,
and in one of the pockets was found a
Waterbury watch. y fine knife, ivory
handled watch key, and a pencil were
also found in the pockets, but no papers
of any description or money was found.
In one corner of the silk handkerchief
found with the clothes was the name of
d. Steadman, plainly written with in
delible ink, but that was all by which
the body could be identified. The upper
teeth of the man were false, set in ordi-
nary rubber plate. The overcoar was
stained red in places, hun whether with
red paint or from hemorrhaGe we did
not learn.
From Mrs. L. 7. Gale, who has the ar
ticles in charge, we learn that the man
was fully six feet in height, and that he
was neatly dressed. From scraps of hair
found, it is supposed that the man must
have been forty or fifty years of age, as
it was grey and clearly showed that the
deceased was white man.
The death of the man is involved in to-
