Columbus, O., Aug. 20.-Governor
Nash today refused for the second
time to honor requisition from the
Governor of Indiana for the return to
that state of Frank B. Archer, of Bel
laire, a, member of the Senate, who is
alleged to have secured bond for a
street paving contract at New Bed
ford, Ind, by making false representa-
tions.
Senator Archer called upon Cover
nor Nash today and stated that there
was nothing more than civil claim
against him at New Bedford, which he
was unable to meet on account of bus
iness reverses, but which he expected
to pay. He denied that he made any
false representations in securing the
bond. The requisition was first re-
fused because of a technicality.

Chillicothe, o., Aug. 20.--The log
cabin, or wooden pen, discovered in
the Adena mound yesterday has de-
veloped into veritable mausoleum
and 1t is estimated to be at least 1000
years old. 1t was found in the last
section of the worked earth or mound
proper, and inside were found the re-
mains of child carefully laid away.
The crib is six by ten feet. The child,
carefully wrapped in cloth and num-
erous coverings of birch bark, was
laid in 1t, together with numerous or
naments and the bones Of deer and
badger. Much of the cloth was in a
good state of preservation. The rest
ing place of the skeleton was sur
rounded on all sides by logs 1t was
originally covered with logs, but these
had decayed and the earth above
formed dome.
The excavators are also tracing the
course of an ancient barricade, the
purpose of which cannot yet be told.

An oGd derivation has been fur
nished for streamin Colorado, which
used to be spoken of locally as Pick
et-wire river. It's earliest name in
Spanish meant The River OF Lost
Souls, which is taken from number
of carly explorers having lost their
lives there. The French pioneers,
keeping in mind the lost souls, !"
more mercifully changed 1t to Purga-
