CHASTITY FIND
BY C0L0RED MAN
Body of Month Old White
Child Found in Out
building
POLICE MAKING An INVESTIGATION

Coroner William T. Purks and the
police are investigating the finding of
the body Of a white female child be-
lieved to be about a month old, in a
cess pool at the home of John Aiittner,
No. SOC Locust street, shortly before
noon today. The body was discovered
by Levi Jones. colored, of No. 912 B
street. who is employed by Z. Congo,
an odorless excavator.
The we'll was being cleaned when
the tiny body was brought TO light, 1t
was wrapped in oil cloth but its head
protruded from one end. That ii had
not been in the well long was evidenced
by the fact that decomposition had not
set in.
After the colored man got over his
fright he informed his fellow workmen
and word of the find was sent to the
lpolice, who notified Coroner Purks. The
latter had the body removed to the
morgue and with the aid of the police
is making a searching investigation.
DENY KNOWLEDGE OF AFFAIR.
The Mittner family, on whose prop
erty the body was ound, deny all
knowledge of the affair and were as
much shocked at the discovery as this
lcolored man who brought the remains
to light.
The Mittners have several children
the youngest of which is IL years o.
lage. Uhe police have not yet fount
lany clue to the identity OF the parents
of the child.

GREAT SKELETONS
FOUND IN TALBOT
Remains of Prehistoric In
dians Discovered Along
Choptahk River
WERE NEARLY EIGHT FEET tALL

Gigantic skeletons of prehistoric In
dians, nearly feet tall, have been dis
covered along the banks of the Chop
tank river, in Talbot county. by en-
ployes of the Maryland Academy Of
Science says the Wicomico News. OF
Salisbury, Md.
The collection comprises eight skel-
etons, of which some are women and
children. They are nos all complete.
but all the larger bones have been
found and there is at least one COM
plete specimen of man. The exca-
vations were in progress for months.
and the discovery is considered one of
the most important, from the stand
point Of anthropology, in Maryland in
a number of years. The remains are
believed to be at least 1000 years old
The formation of the ground above and
the location of the graves gives every
levidence Of this.
During the excavations the remains
Of the camps of later Indians were re-
lvealed. These consisted of oyster shell
heaps. charred and burned earth and
fragments of cooking utensils. These
discoveries were made fully ten fee
labove the graves which contained tbs
Gigantic skeletons.
There have been other discoveries IA
Maryland of remains of men of tire
lmendous stature. A skeleton was dis
lowered at Ocean City several year
lago which measured a fraction over
fleet six inches. This skeleton was in
terred in a regular burying mound. AM
beads manufactured by white men wer
found on it. This dead Indian wa
probably one of the tribe mentioned b.
Captain John Smith, who in July. 1906
made a voyage of exploration Of tn
chesapeake Bay
At the point on the Choptank wher
the remains were found there are stee
, shelving cliffs of sand and gravel tina
extend to the waters edge. Beneat
this bank is a layer of mari. tn
graves are in the sand a few fes
, labove the hard mari, and have deposit
of between 20 and 80 feet Of sand an
= gravel above them. A peculiar featul
of the discovery is the charred stat
4 of the bones Of the women and chi
dren. Those of the men are untouchC
by fire.
This seems to indicate that the an
lcient Indians cremated the bodies
Ian except their warriors. The w
resting place of the bones for so mai
q centuries has made them very soft al
l. fragile and it was with the create
ldimcplty thht they were removed.
