A most remarkable find was made the
other morning, on Van Cholette's farm,
seven miles west Of Marinette, Wis,
on tho Peshtigo river. Mr., Chollette
went out IN q boggy field to get some
wet muck to put under his horses feet
and had dug down about two feet In
the damp soil when his spade struck
stons. He investigated further and
was Mortified to see the form Of man.
The remains were uncovered and found
to be entirely petrlfed. Even the
wrinkles In the face and hands were
visible and the evidences Of mustache
can be distinguished. What appears to
be bullet-hole is in the left breast and
a cash like q stab and another smaller
hole in the right breast, The man was
evidently strongly built and powerful.
The cheek bones arc not high enough
for an Indian. The body now weighs
400 pounds, and Is five feet ton inches
long. Mr., Chollette has already re-
fused big SUM for the specimen.
