HIS SKULL
HAS Been
FOUND.
Workmen Uncover Marqustts's
Remains While ExcaVating
for Summer Hotel.

Columbia. Mo, April s.-The remains OF
Father Marquette, the French missionary
and explorer, have been exhumed by
workmen near Frankfort, Benzie County.
Mich. Only the skull and some imperfect
bones were found.
The find was made at a considerable
depth, while excavsting for big summer
hotel. The Michigan Historical Society
claims 10 possess the proof that Father
Marquette was buried at this point In the
year 1855 In the bed of small stream.
Ia Was in changing the course of the
stream that the remains were found.
On May II, 1879, Marquette and Joliet,
together with five boatmen, left the strait
connecting Lakes Michigan and Huron,
called Michilimakinac Cor Mackinao), in
two bark canoes, in search OF the great
river OF the west, or the upper Mississip-
pi on the 18th OF June, 1873. they glided
into the great river few miles below
what is now known as Prairie du Chen.
Returning. Marquette and Joliet reach
ed Green Bay in safety in September OF
the same year. Greatly exhausted by the
hardships OF the expedition, Marquette
remained at the mission of St Francis
Xavier TO recuperate until September,
1874. He then went upon mission among
the Illinois Indians
He was compelled 10 spend the winter
OF I674-75 In miserable open cabin on the
Chicago river. In the spring of 1915 he
resumed his mission work along the east
ern shore OF Lake Michigan. Discovering
that he was rapidly failing and death was
at hand, he induced his companions to
land the small boat in which they were
embarked near the mouth OF a small
river, and there, on that desert coast,
May 49, 1876, at the age Of only thirty
eight. he ended his last expedition and
was buried.

THE HEARING WEDNESDAY.
Guards Alone Prevent an Attack on the Jail
Wilcox Unconcerned. \
(By the Associated Press.)


Elizabeth City, N. c., Dec. 2S-The
presence of a squad of naval militia with
loaded carbines is all that prevents an
attack upon the Jail in which is confined
James Wilcox, accused of the murder of
Nell Cropsey. Threats of lynching were
freely made today and the feeling against
the young man continues bitter.
Z During today armed guards have kept
all persons block away from the Jail.
Solicitor Ward, the prosecuting officer of
the county, requested apt. w. t. Old,
commanding the militia, to redouble his
vigilance tonight in expectation of an at
tempt to get the prisoner. Tonight the
saloons were closed on order of the
mayor Solicitor Ward today had a war
rant sworn out charging Wilcox with
murder. A preliminary hearing will be
held on Wednesday, when Wilcox will be
held for the grand jury which meets in
March. NJ
Wilcox is apparently the most unconz
cerned man in the town. He sits in his
cell smoking cigarettes and talking with
his guards. He says he has no fear of
lynching.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Dec.
2S-(Via Haytien Cable -Advices re-
ceived here today from Caracas, Vene-
zuela, says that the revolution against
President Castro is gaining ground
daily Nearly the whole of the republic
is in revolt and bands of men are
securing the country. Coro, in the State
of Falcon, and Barquisimeto, in the
State of Lara, particularly are in the
possession of the revolutionists.
Cable communication between Gu
mana, Carupano and Barcelona is inter-
rupted and the government is without
news from the State of Bermudes Tin
which these ports are located, which
leads to the belief that it also has been
induced to revolt by General Domingo
Monagus.

dent elect of the State of Caribobo who
rebelled against President Castro,
marched on LaVictoria and was report
ed to have been defeated), has escaped
from the pursuit of the government

nandes and thirty chiefs of the State of
Caribobo who were not willing to en-
gage the government forces before the
revolution was quite ripe, are with him.
Venezuela is said to be on the verge
of even more serious complications. The
telegraph lines in the interior of the
country have all been cut.

DRAGGED TO THE RIVER.
An Official Says That Evidence TO Prove This
Will be Produced
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Elizabeth City, n c., Dec. 2S.-An Off
cial said today that evidence that Miss
Cropsey was dragged from her gate to
the river would be produced. A friend
of Wilcox discredited the statement.
AS one result of the finding of Nell
Cropsey's body and the subsequent ex-
citement three people are totally pros
trated, but jim Wilcox is not one of
them. Former Sheriff Wilcox, his father,
has been i'll all day, and his mother, not
strong before, is suffering greatly.
Mrs. w. H. Cropsey Nells mother, is
regarded as in critical condition. She
has not been Just herself since the
daughter disappeared, and the finding of
the CHASTITY remains yesterday has had
serious effect on her condition men
tally and physically.
The casket holding the remains of the
dead girl tonight rests in closed vault at
the Episcopal cemetery.
The morbid company, which today
marched out in hopes of seeing Nell's
face was disappointed for the vault was
closed. A large crowd is expected to at
tend the funeral Sunday.
The end of the second day since the
finding of Miss Cropsey's body marks
subsistence of popular demonstration
against James Wilcox, the suspected
lover; but if private expressions from
representative citizens may be taken as
an idea, the feeling against him is as
deep and bitter as it was last night
when a great crowd assembled and NUT
tered suppressed threats. Tonight the
county Jail is still guarded by the Naval
Reserves, detachments taking turns, not
to prevent the escape of Wilcox, who is
weak and resourceless fellow, but to
guard against possible attempts to do
mob violence.
Judge Cropsey was not in good hu-
NOR when seen this afternoon. THAT
was a hell of verdict" he said in re-
ferring to the jury's finding.
He thought the declaration against
Wilcox should have been stronger. He
thinks Nell was dubbed with a black
jack and that she was not thrown into
the river on the night of her disappear
ance. There was report in town to-
night that Guy Hall, who has been sus-
pected in the case, and who is close
friend of Wilcox, was to be run out of
town. THAT only came from two or
three hot headed men," Hall said. "Since
/ was suspected of the abduction, the
finding of the body ought to vindicate

AUGHEY ON THE WAR PATH.
Tried to Chew Sheriff Dunn of Red
Lodge into Small Pieces.

At Red Lodge on Friday night last
a man of the name of Aughey got on
the warpath and upon being called
down by Sheriff Dunno, twitted him
with taking protection behind his star.
Dunno thereupon grew very mad and
throwing off coat and star sailed into
Aughey. They fought for about 45
minutes according to the account of
an eye witness and Dunno finally be-
came the the victor. Both men were
pretty badly done up. Dunno had sew
eral chewed fingers and many sore
ribs and Aughey was pounded to a
jelly. This was probably the last
official scrap of the sheriff, as he was
succeeded Monday by M. W. Potter.
The scrap is said to have been a
wicked n and it was very doubtful
at times who would win. Court was
in session at Red Lodge at the time,
but nothing was said about the fight
to the judge. Aughey got on a spree
in this city several months ago, and
while in that condition it took several
officers to get him to Jail, as he is a
regular devil Of a fighter when drunk.
