The committee appointed by the council
at its last meeting to confer with the Calvin
Brass and Iron Works, of Detroit, relative
to the removal of such works to this city,
visited Detroit on Tuesday of this week.
They report that such works are doing a
large and apparently profitable business,
with plenty of capital to back them; that
they employ upwards of 200 skilled me-
chanics with large weekly pay roll. No
arrangements were made further than that
the committee are expecting representa-
tive of the works to come to Owosso and
look the ground over soon.
Later-D. +. OBrien, general manager of
the Calvin Brass and Iron Works, of De-
troit, was i'm town yesterday, and made some
investigation of the facilities offered for the
removal of such works to this city, and was
apparently well pleased with the outlook
here, although no final conclusion was
reached. 1t is probable that further investi-
cation in that direction will soon be made.

A Convicts Skeleton Found In an Old

A strange discovery was made recently

in the hills west of Tishomingo, 1nd. L.
They have brought to town skeleton and
the section of a tree to bear evidence of the
truthfulness of their story. They cut down
a large oak tree which was partly hollow,
but the entrance to the followed portion
had almost entirely grown over, leaving
only a narrow slit in the outside OF tree.
When the tree fell to the ground it was split
open by the shock. and there, lying in the
center of the broken wood, was the skeleton
of a man. On one ankle of the skeleton was
band Of iron attached to a piece of chain,
evidently from the manac!es which had been
upon his person when he sought refuge in
the hollow tree. From all indications the
skeleton had been entombed for at least 100
years, for the tree had grown sufficiently TO
almost cover the opening through which
he had crawled to hide.
Two of the ribs were broken in such
manner as to lead to the belief that it w as
