DIG FOR GOLD; GET GRAVEL
Dream of Vast Wealth Realized in a
Different Way Than That
Expected.

AS result of dreams, John Spangler
and Thomas Jackson, employees at the
Fear poultry house in Frankfort, Ind,
have brought to light fine gravel pit.
Several nights ago Mr.. Spangler had Q
dream that revealed to him large pile
Of gold under big stone about twE
miles north of the city.
This dream was repeated so often
that he became convinced that wealth
was within his grasp. He told Mr.. jack
son of his dreams, and the two agreed to
investigate by digging for the gold.
They equipped themselves with picks
and shovels and drove to the spot. They
began digging at eight o'clock and for
eight hours they toiled. The farmer
who owns the land discovered them.
but let them proceed undisturbed.
Finally they gave up the search, but
recently the land owner came to town
and thanked them for uncovering what
experts say will prove one of the finest
gravel beds in this section of the state,
the location of which was unknown I'M
hl the two men began digging for gold.

STRONG MAN UNDEvELoPED
Extraordinary Case Exciting Interest
and Amusement Among Lon
don Physicians.

London physicians are interested in
a singular case of a man who possesses
extraordinary strength, yet has no
muscular development. The man, a
German, Herr Georg Lett, is only five
feet in height and weighs but 14O
pounds, but he can lift something like
rs times his own weight.
The worlds record lift is LOO
pounds, yet Herr Lettl lifted an anchor
weighing $50 pounds, with four men
standing on it, thus exceeding the rec
ord by about 450 pounds. He can pull
backward 16-horse power motor car
running at a speed of 85 miles per
hour, and, standing between two eight
horse power cars placed back to back,
he holds them together by sheer
strength of finger tips when their en-
gines are working at full speed.

The most important site to be &C
trance to New York harbor, rendered
necessary, it is stated, by the new deep
water entrance, under construction.
The new works construction in con-
nection with the scheme of seacoast de-
