A TEXAS CATACOMB.
An Ancient Sepulcher Recently Un-
earthed.

Considerable excitement was created
in Ezra, Texas, when it was learned that
an ancient sepulcher had been discov-
cred near there by DIR. Fears, Major Fid-
ler, of that place, and Professor Ashley
of Springfield, Ill. The doctor made bis
first discovery six years ago, since which
time lie has spent much of mis- spare
time in the region making investiga-
tions. Some months ago he took Ma
jor Fidler into his confidence. The
exhuming of the ancient resting place
of the dead began in very quiet way.
1t was soon discovered that something
OF an historical nature had been brought
to light, when Professor Ashley was
wired to come at once. The professor
arrived last Friday.
The catacomb contains many petriied
remains of human beings, some very
ancient sculptures and weapons of war.
The professor claims that there is some
clew to dates that will be of great his
torical importance. 1t is further whis-
pered that considerable treasure has
been found.-fSt. Louis Republic.
