ANCIENT RELICS FOUND.
Flint Implements Discovered Imbed-
ed in Sandstone in Michigan.

iceland, Mich, March 18.-A farmer
named Keats, who lives near James
town, has made a discovery Of great in
terest to all antiquarians.
MasOns in his employ, while hewing
sandstone from the Waverly quarry,
four miles west of iceland, came upon
a pocket in the solid rock containing
flint implements, unquestionably
wrought by human hands. Three of the
instruments were used for hammers, as
there are grooves around them p by
which they were fastened to the han
die. Another stone implement was long
and had thin elliptical edges. The pock-
ct in the block of sandstone was al
most a perfect mold for the stone i'm
plements, which would lead one to be-
lieve that the sandstone had formed
since the implements We're left there.

TO USE COMPRESSED AIR.
New York Street Railways Contem-
plating a Change of Power.

New York, March 1S.-Today there is
not a street railroad, including the ele-
waited, that is not contemplating
change of motive power and figuring
on what is the best to adopt.
All reports to- the contrary, no new
system has yet been accepted. Tests
are daily being made, and in them all

is a power. Property owners are now
taking a hand, and for surface cars de-
mand that cars with an independent
motive power be run, reminding w. c.

interested in this because they have
been promised a power that will not re-
Quire the ripping up of streets at odd
intervals.

Colusa yesterday morning, at which
place he had represented General Null
Ter pending the excitement following
the shooting Of Miss Florine Poirer by
Pedro Vinali
Major Douglas states that at no time
Wee the troops called on to guard the
jail. and that Sheriff Jones in maxim g
his request for troops had only asked
that Company B Of Colusa be put I'M
der arms, so as to be within call il
needed.
Tl-7 fact that Company D of Marys-
vile was called out, Major Douglas
states, was due more TO the view taken
by Colonel Harrington, Judge-Advo-
cate-General on the Governors staff,
than on the report of Sheriff Jones. The
troops We're merely assembled at the
Armory, and We're not at any time
called on to do guard duty.
Friday afternoon Major Douglas tel
egraphed General Muller that the ex-
element had subsidized and that there
was no longer fear of mob violence.
Acting on that advice General Muller
ordered the Marysville company home,
and the Colusa troops were excused
and went about their business.
Major Douglas highly commends the
action of Sheriff Jones in calling for
assistance, and believes that his prompt
action was the only thing that averted
bloodshed, and probably the lynching
Of the Mexican, who did the shooting.
Major Douglas thinks the latter will
recover from his self-inflicted wounds.
IN case he does, there need be no sur
prise if the excitement breaks out
again especially if the young woman
dies from the effect of her wounds.

HER MIND IMPAIRED.

Sisters Guardian.

Anna N Harrison has petitioned the
Superior Court that her sister, Mary
Ellen Jeffers, be declared incompetent
to manage her estate and that she be
appointed her guardian.
The ground for the petition is stated
to be that for the past six months the
mind of her sister has been impaired
by sickness and that she is not compe-
tent to manage her property. A short
time ago suit was commenced against
Mrs. LETTERS for services alleged to have
been performed in nursing her While
sick. She told the officer serving the
summons that she owed nothing and
would not pay the bill and paid no at
tention to the summons. Judgment
was taken by default and an execution
issued, when her sister discovered how
affairs stood. Driver & Sims are petit
