INDIAN RELICSJ
TO BE EXUMED

The location of an Indian mound
and grave is known to few Canton
ians who expect to resurrect it's con-
tents in the earlier part of next sum-
mer. The reason that it has not been
previously unearthed is because the
few people who knew of its location
are superstitious. The only person
who has been informed of 1t from the
mouth of an Indiar is still living near
Columbiana, o. He says it contains
many Indian curios belonging to the
former chief of a wild band of In
dians. The chief instigator Of this
movement is a school teacher in Tus-
carawas county who already has
most splendid collection Of the bones
Of American Aborigines.

Failed.

For the eighth time burglars made
descent upon the store of w. II. Nees

and a considerable amount of proper
ty, consisting of clothing, knives, etc,
carried away. Entrance was gained
through a window, which gave access
to rear room, and the burglars then
broke through a window, which gave
access to rear room, and the burglars
then broke through partition into
the main room. The value of the goods
carried away was not great, but the
proprietors of the store have become
very much incensed at the repeated
visits of the burglars and are taking
steps to have them captured.

UNDER WHEELS
Greek Loses His Life In
the Pennsylvania
3
Yards.

Thinking that the shifter which he
heard approaching from the rear was
on the west track of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad upon which he was walk
ing, Alexander Buntis, a Greek, aged
SO years, whose home was at CIT South
Rex street, stepped to the east track
near the depot about $50 o'clock Tues
day night. The approaching locomo-
tive was backing up and Buntis was
struck and ground under the wheels.
He was picked up by witnesses Of the
accident and carried into the baggage
room. In Miller-Blanchard's ambu-
lance he was taken to the Aultman
hospital, where he died As minutes af-
terwards, having never recovered con-
seriousness.
Buntis' skull was fractured, his
right foot taken off and his right leg
crushed. At the hospital Drs. S. B.
Post and II. M Schuffell amputated
the leg just above the knee in hopes
of saving the victims life but 1t was
in vain. His remains now lie in Mil
ler- r-Blanchard's morgue and will be
cared for by a nephew of the dead
man.
The deceased was employed at the
Carnahan Stamping & Enameling
works. He came to America about s
months ago and leaves a wife and
three children in his native land.
The accident occurred just east Of
the Pennsylvania depot at Tenth and
Saxton streets. Buntis was walking
west along the track and hearing the
shifter coming towards him in the
rear thought that he was directly in
its path and without turning to look
he stepped over to the other track. 1t
was this step which cost him his life
for he made a miscalculation. The alb
sence of a pilot on the rear of the
shifting engine was partly responsible
for the seriousness of the injuries. AS
soon as possible the shifter was
brought to a standstill and Buntis was
taken from underneath. He was un-
conscious and remained in that condi-
tion until his death.

drains with the storm water sewers
in portions of Canton not having san
itary mains has gone forth from the
board Of health. At its meeting Tues
day night the board threatened to en-
join property owners from making such
connections and protested against the
action of council in grantip,, permis-
sion to them to do SO. When the drains
are joined to the storm water sewers
the refuse flows into creeks and runs
polluting the streams. Before taking
other action the board will serve no.
tice upon owners of several buildings
now in the course of construction TO
make other provisions for the drainage
of the properties.
Diphtheria has been prevalent
throughout the city during the past
month, % cases having been reported
during October. Most OF these were
in the west portion of the city and
some on the outskirts. The serious

lice authorities in an effort to abate
