INDIAN RELICS AFTER A FLOOD.
River Banks the Place to Search

A few days ago when the water in the
Allegheny River was slowly subsiding

You see, IN the early days this was 2
great redskin country. Thousands or
Indians followed the rivers In their ca
noes and lived along the banks Every
time the water is high ! am sure to
find some trophy that savage, no
doubt, priced highly. The flood either
along the shore or they are washed ont
on the banks" says writer in the
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Many a time after a rise I have dis

Before the advent Of the white man the
weapons were made chiefly Of stone.
AS a rule the tomahawks are not
works OF art. A thin stone was Clipped
off to make 1t as sharp as possible. and
sometimes the Indians serrated the edges
to make them more effective In dealing
an enemy blow, The Jagged appear

how q inf1ict pain on an adversary.
The tomahawks either had no handles
or very short ones. They were tied to
clubs by thongs which the Indians
welded with unerring aim. The boys
were taught ito throw them, and every
brave was an expert at 1t.
THE double-bitted battle-axe in my
possession has a short handle. There Is
evidence to show that II had been tied
to a club like The others. Occasionally a
tomahawk is unearthed that some red
skin had taken the trouble to polish. or
at least make 1t smooth. This was done
by rubbing stone against stone. The
chances are these hatchets were carried
by the chiefs. with these stone imple-
ments the Indians cut down great trees
and young saplings. As a rule, however,
when they wanted timber they burned
the trees at the base. then hacked at
them until they fell.

Jury Finds Him Not Guilty of MUIR

WOODBURY.. N. j.. July 21.-The jury
In the case OF Patrick Kerwin. charged
with the murder of Charles GAM, came
into court at 10 o'clock this morning.
after being out seventeen hours, with "a
verdict Of MOT Guilty"
Kerwin was Immediately released from
custody. He was soon surrounded by
the friends who have stood by him and
Uhowered with congratulations. The
trial lasted two weeks, and expert testl-
mony of every sort has been introduced.
II was alleged by the prosecution that
CAM and kerwin while drinking with
some companions at "a hotel near here,
Jan. IL last, quarrelled. CAM was killed
and his body thrown Into the Delaware
River, where It was found some weeks
afterwards. kerwin admitted quar-
relling with CAM, but denied having
anything to do with his death.
CAMS mysterious disappearance was
for long time the sensation OF South
Jersey. The mystery was heightened
by the finding of "A body in the river
which was positively identified by some
or CAMS relatives as that of the miss
ing man, but which afterwards proved
to be the body of another person.

Mayor Schieren's call for a special
meeting of the Board OF Aldermen on
Monday morning to take action on the
application for S5o.OoO to extend the

whether the city Fathers would take
