FIattening Tribe
FRANKFORT, Ohio, July CIV. B.
Moorehead, curator of the state universi-
ty, has made some important discoveries
in the ancient mounds near here during
the past week. One mound which ne
opened contained nine skeletons buried
two feet below the surface in a layer of
gravel. The bones are those of short,
heavy, muscular men. The skulls are
thick and rather round, and the facial
angle is low. Several skulls give evil
dence of artificial flattening of the face
during infancy. No skeletons found in
OHIO present more inferior ribe phys
ically. In other gravel knobs about this
place Mr.. Moorhead discovered further
evidence of burials of similar character.
Arrowheads. axes, copper bracelets and
various ornaments lay by nearly every
skeleton. DR.. Thomas Wilson Of the Smith

extreme peril. and that it was only by

of Marshal de Campos himself that the
day was saved and made an especially
great illustrious action for the Spanish

CASHIER CAUuHT

CHICAGO, July 21.-C. H. Rowe, the
defaulring cashier of Poweshiek county,
Iowa. is under arrest in the City Of Mex
CO, and large part of the $50. 900 which
he made away with has been attached by
the Pinkerton operatives and is likely to
be returned to the county from which it
was taken. Richard Rowe, brother of the
absconder, is also under arrest as an ac-
complice. 1t is somewhat doubtful
whether either brother can be taken
back to Iowa for trial. Requistion pa
pers were honored by the state depart
ment at Washington and foi warded to
Mexico as rapidly as possible, and with
these the detectives applied to the Mexi-
can authorities for the arrest of the BROTH
ers.
They were locked up, but when it came
to extraditipg them the detectives found
themselves blocked under the Mexican
law. A foreigner may 60 there, renounce
allegiance to the country from which he
came. become a Mexican citizen. and
thus avoid extradition. Rowe had taken
advantage of this law, although he had
been IN the City Of Mexico only three
weeks. AS result. there is likely to be
heated contest, in which the United
States government will probably play d
prominent part.
