He WAS SEVEN FEET HIGH.
The Bones of Indians Found In,
Maryland That Indicate
Giant Race.
From the Philadelphia Times


There has just been received at tho
Maryland Academy Of Science the
skeleton Of an Indian seven feet tail
1t was discovered near Antietam ten
days ago. There are now skeletons
OF three powerful Indians at the acad-
envy who, at one time in their wiIdness.
roamed over the state of Maryland
armed with such instruments as nature
gave them, or that their limited skill
taught them to make. Two of these
skeletons belonged to individuals evil
IDENTIFY Of gigantic size The vertebrate
and bones Of the legs are nearly as
thick as those of a horse, and the
length of the long bones exceptional.
The skulls are of fine proportions. am
pie, ana With walls of moderate thick
ness, but of great strength, and stiff
Tened behind by a powerful occipital
ridge. The curves Of the forehead are
moderate and not retreating, suggest
ing intelligence, and connected with
jaws Of moderate development.
The locality from which these skele-
tons came is in Frederick county. near
Ant1etam creek. 1t was formerly sup
posed to have been the battle-ground of
two tribes Of Indians-the CataWbas
ana the DelaWares. Tradition has
handed down the statement that he
!, tween the years 1870 and 1886 the Ca
taWbas overlook a band of Delawares
at the mouth of the Antietam. and in
the battle that ensued the Delawares
We're completely annihilated. So the
trad1tlon goes, but according to DR.
Philip r. Uhler president of the NIarv-
land Academy of Science, and provost
OF the Peabody institute, a careful ex-
animation Of this locality has failed to
| establish evidences Of a battle at this
| point, although numerous spear and
arrow heads have been taken from the
soil there.
1t Is Of great interest, however. to
notice that the locality was at an
carrier date-befOre the coming of the
mlllIe Inan-occupied as a village sta
by Indians of great stature. some OF
them six and half feet in height The
bones of these We're buried like those
| or prehistoric tribes in other parts Of
the state.
The manner of the burial was like
| thls: The flesh was cleaned from the
bones, some Of which were then
charred. The small bones of the face
and neck We're packed in the cavity
or the skull, and a round hole about
two and one-half feet wide was dug
In the ground, in which the skeleton
| was buried and carefully packed with
| clay. Into the grave was also placed
| pottery, a tomahaWk and the other
weapons belonging to the Indian. No
| stone marked the grave and no beads
| or wampum were buried with the skeI-
| eton. But over all, the earth was
heaped up into a small oblong mound,
along which other similar mounds ex-
| tended for many feet. The OVerf1Ows
of neighboring river at this point had
almost destroyed the burial area. 50

lions were recognizable at the time Of

Of the local company went on the trip,
which has been pleasantly anticipated
since the invitation of the Illinois
guardsmen was received some weeks
ago.
The company is in charge of Capt
E. S. Bean, by whose invitation sew
eral officers Of the guard also joined the
eXcursionistS.
The company left on a SPECIAL train
over the Wisconsin Central railroad,
accompanied by City Passenger Agent
Brown. The run to Chicago will be
made in limited time, the company ar
irving in Chicago early this morning.
According to the programme of Com

day afternoon, where he stole pocket
magnifying glass. The domestic, En-
ma Belger, who came face to face with
Leader in the Lownsbury home, the
police say, was positive in her ident1f-
cation of the prisoner and the magnify
ing glass was found in his possession.
Leader denies his guilt.
The police also have in custody In
connection with the case, Charles Car
tin, who is said to know a great deal
of Leaders operations. He is being
held as a witness.
1t was through information impaired
by Cartin that the police got track of
Leader, and a coincidence in the case
Is the fact that while the detectives
were watching the prisoners room in
Minneapolis, Leader, it is claimed, was
robbing the Lownsbury home in this
city
The arrest is regarded by the police
as unusually important, as it is be-
lieved that the assortment of property
found in the prisoners room represents
many burglaries, and, furthermore, be-
cause there is a picture of a murderer
wanted in st. Louis, Mo-, for killing a
policeman last November, to which
Leader bears a startling resemblance.
In general appearance and description
as to age, height, complexion and
weight, Leader closely resembles the
photograph, and several marks similar
to those noted in the appended informa-
ton correspond to like marks on Lead
er's person.
So impressed was Chief Schweitzer
with the striking resemblance that he
at once telegraphed Chief of Police
Harrigan, of st. Louis, and tomorrow
a photograph of Leader will be sent to
the ST. Louis authorities. Leader will
rot be arraigned here until the ST.
Louis police are heard from.

SHEARING BY MACHINE.
Edgar & Long Begin the Clipping of
Twenty-Three Thousand

Edgar & Long, the big sheep feeders
at South st. Paul, have put in power
sheep shearing plant and began the
shearing of $4,000 sheep yesterday af-
ternoon at their sheep barns at the
stOckyards
The machine Is called the "Wolese-
ly," and is after the manner of the
power clippers used by horsemen.
Edgar & Long have twelve clippers or
machines running from a common driv-
ing shaft, which is run by a five-horse
gasoline engine.
The work cannot be done faster with
the machine than by hand, but much
better job can be done, and enough
wool be saved over the hand method to
pay for the cost of the plant, while the
sheep present a much cleaner and
smoother appearance, with less cutting
Of the skin. They expect to finish by
April 1.
Rae Bros. will shear about sc, 600
sheep also this spring, and A NJ. Cree
about 1000, and they will probably put
in a machine plant to do the work.
The fleece Is averaging about eight
pounds per head, and there will be
taken over 500 600 pounds of wool from
South st. Paul sheep this spring.

Damage.

The timely discovery of lamp ex-
plosion in Moenich's tailoring establish

prevented fire. Noticing an unusual

the policeman investigated and discov-

The explosion was unheard by occu-

A lamp also exploded in the bath

before o'clock. No one was injured

Grand Jury Considers the Alleged
Conspiracy Case of Edward
TeitZ.

The grand jury changed the subject
yesterday morning from Moritz Helm
and the taX-evading corporations to
Col Edward Tietz and William F.
Bergmeier.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Bergmeier
swore out a warrant for the arrest Of
Col. Tietz based on the charge that the
latter had conspired with a man named
Wolff to file information of insanity
against Mr.. Bergmeier and bring about
his commitment to the asylum. The
details Of the matter were published by
The G ! o at the time.
The case has been pending in the po-
lice court for more than two months.
1t was set for hearing on Feb. 10, but
when that date arrived the case was
continued.
1t was dropped yesterday as far as
the police court is concerned, as it was
learned that the grand jury was inves-
tigating it.
Among the witnesses summoned be-
fore the grand jury yesterday were
Mr.. Bergmeier, Thomas Newhausen,
Thomas A. Lienau, Charles Nebinger,
H. Wolfson and Valentine Stoesser.
The grand jury also examined wit
nesses in the case of George Hess, who
is charged with stealing a fur overcoat
from c. NJ. Griggs.

Bells testimony given on the trial, in
which he claimed to have witnessed
the accident that occurred in the st.

In the afternoon another incident out
of the ordinary occurred.
Sheriff Wagner was on the stand.
Mr. Wagner had just testified that
when he took Robert Bell to the st.
Cloud reformatory the defendant,
union depot, and that before they
boarded the train, Keefe handed Bell a
paper package.
Mr. WAGNER didn't know what the
package contained, except that there
was a bottle inside of the paper, and
that Bell used" it three or four times
on the train.
Sheriff Wagner was leaving the wit
ness stand when the court remarked:
IT will instruct you that hereafter
when taking prisoners to the state re-
fornatory or Saltwater not to allow
them any refreshment in liquid form"
John L. Strauch, loan and discount
man, testified that he paid the hotel
bills of Bell and Burns while they re-
NAMED in st. Paul during the trial Of
the civil suit against the st. Paul &

BAKING POWDER LAW.
Dairy Commission Secures c

Dairy Commission Secures Con-
viction for It's Violation.
The state dairy and food commission is
making a crusade against dealers who sell
adulterated baking powder, without comply
mig with the law.
During the past week they have prosecuted
three cases in the Twin Cities In two cases
the powder was known as the Grown bak-
ing powder, and manufactured in Chicago.
The dairy commission notified the manufac-
turers Of the law in vogue in this state. The
manufacturers defed the commission.
The commission Immediately got after the
Chicago concern, and secured conviction in
Minneapolis yesterday, where fine of $25 was
imposed. Two other cases are on tab, one
in Minneapolis today, and another in st. Paul
tomorrow in the municipal court.
In cases of this kind the dealer selling the
baking powder is prosecuted but it frequently
happens that the concern manufacturing the
powder pays the fine.
The local trade is pretty thoroughly advised
as to the law. and there are comparatively
few cases reported to what there was a year
ago.
