A SENSATION
Created at Martins Ferry Over a Doc.
tors Kit Of Bones.
Quite an excitement was created on yes.
terdsy BY the finding of the skeleton of an
infant in q email wooden box in, the lot in
the rear of the Commercial block By some
children. Itwss gathered up and psraded
over town BY the youngsters and shown to
almost every one in the vicinity, and TO
some who are more remote from the scene
of the discovery. Quite large amount of
unjust speculation was INDUCED in, and as
usual great many people had the only
true version of the affair" In Justice to
DR.. A. r. Ong and his clerk, who occupy
q part of tie building referred TO above,
we give the complete history OF the
bsby's bones, which have caused 80 much
wonder. Anderson Ralston, Jr., formerly
clerk in DR.. Ong's store, attended med
ical school in Cincinnati last winter, and
during the course OF his studies in the dis
secting room, he came in possession of the
remains of very young child, the bones
of which he placed in proper position. Of
course it being his own private property,
he, with the same deaires which actuste all
doctors to keep skeleton of some hind.
took considerable pride in the kid" and
brought it home with him. Not caring to
have such specimen at home, he
got Dr.. 0ng's permission to store
the relic in an out of the way place in the
drug store. On ThurEdsy night the clerks
we're cleaning up and one of them insd.
vertently threw the box containing the
skeleton out with lot of rubbish and
empty boxes A number of children, with
their usual ayidity for empty boxes, gath
cred the medical students prize up among
the other similar boxes thrown out, and,
as a natural consequence, the excitement
over the find. In few hours the report
gained circulation that the infant in full
dress, with flesh and all, had been dug up
in an ash heap.
