Old Indian cemetery-A Silver City
dispatch says A. B. Laird, Of the con.
tracing firm Of Matthews & Laird,
was in the city yesterday from Fort
Bayard, the government s%anitarium
for consumptives, where his firm has
the contract for erecting the hospital
corps, barracks and other buildings.
Mr.. Laird says that while excavating
for the foundation Of the barracks,
east Of the present hospital, the work
men unearthed an ancient Indian bury
ing ground about two feet from the
surface. A large number Of skeletons
have been unearthed, some in good
state of preservation, others simply a
jumbled mass Of bones. In n skull
the teeth were In . perfect state of
preservation, wen and all well form
ed. a jawbone was also dug up, EVIL
IDENTIFY that Of a prehistoric giant.
However. the most Interesting find
consisted OF 8 number OF specimens II
indian pottery. An sarthern jar about
ten inches long, six inches wide and
four inches deep, was unearthei. The
ends were round, while the sides and
bottom were perfectly nat. One Of the
dat sides lay against an Indian skull.
Inside the jar was : drawing OF =
terrapin or mud turtle, every outline
Of which was perfectly visible and a

which must have been several hum

the relics unearthed are not those
Of the Aztecs, differing from the latter
In q number Of details, and that he Is
to believe they are the work

Is inclined to lhe same view. The jar

AsA
A. e. Morelock. night wire chief a
the Santa Fe telegraph ONCE in To
peka. has just completed an invention
which is attracting q great deal of at
tention among those who are inter
ested in telegraphy, especially opera
tors, for 1t is that class Of men which
will be benefited the most by this new
invention. Mr., Morelock's invention
is a device which can be attached to
any typewriter, and with which any
one, whether he is an operator or
not, car send a telegraphic message,
the only requirement being that he
knows how to operate a typewriter.
Mr.. Moreloc'k invention is probably
best described in his own words:
1T is a combination of electro mag
nets with release or trip bars adapted
to release and stop insulated symbol
discs that are loosely mounted on a
shaft revolved by a three-volt motor.
with a variable speed gear for fast or
slow sending as desired.
"The electro magnets are connected
in series by a comb-like switch with
one pole of a local battery to the indi-
viiual key bars Of q typewriter. the
other pole connected to an eccentric
switch, thumb-screwed to the type
writer under and Gro all the key
bars.
by depressing any letter OF the
typewriter the symbol discs are In
stantly released, causing the make and
break of the main line which is con-
nected to the discs by a split plug in
serted into the Morse key or switch
board"
Mr.. Morelock has been working on
the machine for about q year. He
really completed it several months
ago, and since then the first machine
Of its kind has been under process
OF construction at the Santa Fe shops
in this city. With the exception Of
one or two possible improvements, the
machine Is now completed, and Mr..
Morelock Is now using 1t every night
at the Santa Fe telegraph Office. So
far it has worked to perfection, and
all experiments that have been made
have been successful.
M0relock Is well known In New
Mexico, where he worked for several
years.

TRAMPS TAKE
POSSESSION
OF West Bound Freight Train for
a Short Time Only.
CONS" PRESENCE OF MIND
And Quick Action Interferes With
Hobos' Western Trip-Are Locked
in Car but Manage to Kick a
Hole in It and Escape.

A gang of about 40 hoboes took
possession of west bound freight
train in charge of Conductor Lewis
Brookhauser last Friday between Sc
dan and Marion and ATTEMPTED to
run it to suit themselves, but owing
to the quick work of the conductor
their attempt was frustrated, When
the train was leaving Kalispell the
conductor found the bunch on an
Hpen machinery car and when he
asked them for transportation they
gave him the laugh and told him to
go to the hot place. that they were
on the train and they would stay
there. Brookhauser told them they
would have to get off at Sedan and
left them. The train stopped at Sc
dan, and the men disappeared off the
car. but on searching the train after
wards the conductor found about %
of them in an empty box car. When
Marion was reached Brookhauser
went to the car door and told the
men they would have to get off, and
gave them few minutes to get out
of the car. They began to curse and
threaten him and he pulled the door
to and locked it. Then going to the
end door he gave the men their
choice Of being locked in the car and
being shipped back to Kalispell or
getting off where they were. This
only aroused their wrath and they
threatened to do all kinds of things
to him if he locked them in Getting
tired Of their abuse he closed the
end door and locked it making the
men prisoners as he supposed
An east bound freight pulled into
Marion about this time and the car
containing the cursing discounted
hoboes was switched onto it, to be
brought to Kalispell. The railroad
officials here had been notified of the
affair and a number of officers were
in the yards to nail the men when
they arrived.
When the train reached Kalispell a
rush was made for the car but the
birds had flown. A big hole had
been kicked in the end Of the car
and the men had craw1ed through
and dropped off the train.
