AN INDIAN WORKSHOP.
Interesting Discovery by Wesleyan
 Student

Interesting Discovery by Wesleyan
 Student.
 Middletown, March 21.-Wilbur Reed Mattoon, a Wesleyan student, this past made many hundred years ago. He was walking up the Berlin Branch rail- when he saw that the frosts and rains had loosened part of bank by the track
 In the hole made by the falling of the dirt he discovered the bones of an In dian. Some of them had crumbled, but he recovered the femurs, the ulnas, several vertebrae, some perfect teeth, etc., which showed that the skeleton was that of a young person. Pursuing his researches he discovered near by very large piece of pure quartz and lying near it many smaller pieces of the same, showing that they had been hak ed off to form arrow heads. In fact, several incomplete heads were found. He had walked into an Iidian work shop, as it were.
 
 and deposited in the museum The place where these relics were discover ed was at one time a part of Halls Grove. It is supposed that this grove was once an Indian camp ground and that their burial place was near by. When North Main street was cut through this grove the workmen un- earthed many bones which they used to fill up the street. Mr. Meeker at that time found perfect battle ax, the best specimen yet found anywhere, which Is supposed to have belonged to some great chief, and also the remains of an old fire.
 The charcoal and blackened stones which showed signs of long series of feasts were removed to the college mu- scum, together with bones which have been proven to belong to bears and deer.
 A number of students went to Halls Grove to-day. They found number of pieces of quartz which had been haked off from larger pieces and like wise more pieces of 6 human skeleton in which the teeth were in perfect con- dition. It is the general opinion among the college experts that these remains must have been buried about five hun dred years, as the stone implements found in this locality date back to the stone age. The work of digging will be kept up to see whether they can find still further remains and if pos5i- ble to get specimens of Indian pottery. A piece of a broken bowl was fcuIid to-day.

DIED OF APPENDICITIS.

Frederick Grant Graves, painter, died at the hospital of appendicitis early yesterday morning. He was painting last Thursday when he fell about fifteen feet from the ladder on which he was standing while painting and struck on his abdomen. He went home feeling sore in the abdomen, but returned to work Friday. He worked all day, but was in great pain during the day and Friday night. Saturday morning he again went to work, but at 9 o'clock In the forenoon he was in such pain that he went home and went to bed. A physician was called and pronounced the case one of appendi citis and ordered MT. Graves removed to the hospital. He was taken there Sunday and an operation was perform ed, but to no avail as the patient died yesterday morning. The operation showed that he was suffering from appendicitis and peritonitis. The phy- sicians think that he probably had ap- pendicitis before the fall, but that the fall aggravated the case, and that if he had been operated upon before the fall his life might have been saved. MT. Graves was thirty years of age and leaves widow.
