FINDS PREHISTORIC VILLAGE
Indiana Farmer Said 10 Have DE-
covered Bones and Ancient
Pottery IN sand PIT.

What appears to be the remains of a
village Of earlier civilization OF Amer
lea was discovered at n depth OF IT
feet on the farm OF John A. Gray, re-
siding nine miles north OF Muncie,
Ind. says tho Chicago Chronicle. and
the discovery is attracting the ntten,
tion OF people for mics around. Bones
Of several skeletons OF race OF peo-
pie, apparently OF giant size, were
found.
Almost all were In remarkable
state OF preservation. Besides these
there were n number OF earthen bowls
or pots, several pieces OF small iron
rods, one bearing handle OF some un-
known material. The discovery was
made at the bottom OF sand pit
According To the size OF the bones the
persons averaged a height OF eight
feet.
When asked relative 20 the discov-
cry Mr.. Gray told most remarkable
story, which strangely comedies with
the discovery and which still renders
the find all the more mysterious. He
stated that several months ago two
strange men called at his home and
asked permission TO dig in the sand
pit. They being strangers the priv.
ilege was not granted. At this the
strangers said that he would rue the
refusal as long as he lived, as there
was an Indian village far beneath the
earthis surface, and near by would be
found buried treasure in gold.

cities have found one necessary for

estimate The cost Of these libraries at
$4,000. being s52OOOO0 in all.
IF New York win furnish sites for
these branches for the benefit OF the

for the central library. and also agree
in satisfactory form to provide for
their maintenance as built, / should
esteem it a rare privilege to be permit
