One Of the hest known men about the In

ard, who for several years has been con-
nectei viii, the house of II. F.. Kinney, grain
broker. Mr.. Shepard y u bluff, hearty, Old
gentleman of medium height, rray-heaGed
and with a muS,ache like q French veteran.
He is Il man Of very decided views on ill
subjects and is especially orthodox in poll
ties and medicine. Notwithstanding his firm
ness in his convictions and the vigor with
which he maintains them he is q man of many
friends for manly men. even though some
times obstinate in their opinions, have the
force of character that win admiration and
friendship.
So a few months ago when the news came
ID his old associates on the Board of Trade
that Mr.. Shepard had received a stroke Of
paralysis and that the probabilities were that
his days Of usefulness were over, and that
perhaps, his hours were numbered, the deep
est sympathy went out to the smitten man
and his family. 1t seemed to all his friends
almost impossible that this rugged old man,

it was true and many weeks passed before

hearty welcome and the story OF his illness
and recovery is we'll worth the telling.

No direct and authentic reason has been

INDIAN RE MAINS.
Skeletons of Thirteen Warriors Unearthed
by In Springfield, Mass.

Skeletons of Thirteen Warriors Uncarthed
by Workmen In Springfield. Mass.
One of the most important discoveries
Of Indian remains ever made in New
England has just been made in Spring
field, Mass. Workmen, in cutting away
q bluff in the southern part of the city,
in the neighborhood of the place where
history says al Indian fort was located,
dug up l3 skeletons of Indians in an
excellent state of preservation.
The skeletons were found imbedded
in the smooth red sand of the bluff.
Each lay with the head to the south,
the region where the Indian god was
supposed to dwell. the face turned to,
ward the east, whence the ManitOu, the
Indian messiah, was to come. The
right hand was under the cheek, the
left lay across the breast, and the knees
were drawn up under the chin, such po'
sitions being due to the fact that thus
less digging was required with the
rough implements Of the aborigines.
Above the bodies, about IL inches
from the surface of the ground, is a con
tinuous line of charcoal, left from the
fires which were kept burning to warn
the departed spirit on his journey to the
happy hunting grounds.
Near this place the skeletons Of two
white men were also unearthed. They
are believed to be the remains of two
Hessians who, being mortally wounded
III the battle of Bennington, sought
refuge in the house of IA Mr.. Lombar
