Indian tribe. died early Sunday
morning at his home near Lap;

oil internally while in an insane
condition. Moses had gone in
sane last week and declared him.
self to be a second Christ. He
sat on an improvised throne in
his home and would allow no one
to touch more than the tip of his
finger. Owing to the esteem in
which he was held many of his
tribesmen believed fully in his
divinity and crowds gathered at
his home to converse with him
and receive his blessing. On
Saturday Moses became violent
and had to be tied down but his
friends still believed in his divin-
ity. During the night he saw
his wife rubbing some japanese
oil on a bruised limb and think
ing it to be a bottle of alcohol
and cocaine, which he had been
using before going insane, he
grabbed the bottle and drank of
it's contents. The medicine con-
tanned some rank poisons and the
insane man died a short time
later in great agony.
The Indians refused to allow a
coroner's inquest to be held.
The funeral was held Tuesday al

RlLEYS FIRST POEM.
Former Governor Henry A. Buchtel
Gives It to His Students.

Former Governor Henry A. BuchteI
Gives It to His Students.
Chancellor Henry A. Buchtel of the
University of Denver, former governor
of Colorado, recently gave Riley read
ing TO his summer students and pre-
sented to each copy of what he said
was James Whitcomb Riley's first
poem. At the time it was written
QS76) Chancellor Buchtel was at
Knightstown and was asked to deliv-
er a funeral sermon at the burial Of
Hamilton ]. Dunbar, man universal
ly popular and idolized by Riley. The
poet afterward said to Buchtel:
when the service was over 1 went
home and wrote a poem on Ham Dun
bar and sent it to the Indianapolis
Journal, and the literary people said,
"A poet has arrived And that was
the first poem l ever wrote that gave
me the idea that 1 could be something
else than a sign painter. So 1 always
associate you," Riley said to Buchtel,
with the first poem ever wrote"
That poem has never been published
in any of Riley's books because it is
so personal. Following is an accurate
copy made by Henry A. Buchtel for his
students:
Dead! Dead! Dead!
We thought him ours alone,
And none so proud to see him tread
The rounds of fame and lift his head
Where sunlight ever shone,
But now our aching eyes are dim
And look through tears in vain for him.
Name! Name! Name!
1t was his diadem,
Nor ever tarnish, taint of shame,
Could dim its luster. Like flame
Reflected in a gem,
He wears it blazing on his brow
Within the courts of heaven now.
Tears! Tears! Tears!
Like dews upon the leaf
That burst at last from out the years
the blossom of a trust appears,
The blossom above the grief,
And mother, brother, wife and child
VIII see it and be reconciled.

VIEW STATUE FOUND or
THE EMPEROR CLAUDIUS.
Unearthed In Recsnt Excavations and
Is Seven Feet High.

For three years Vittorio Spinazzola,
director of the Museum of Naples, has
been conducting a scientific excavation
among the temples of Pesto and from
time to time has brought to light many
objects Of bronze and of marble and
has uncovered several of the old walks
around the temples.
On June II at the end of broad
way his men came upon great edifice
with twenty columns lying before its
facade, with a monumental entrance
and sala thirty meters in length and
eighteen in width.
The sala contained six inches in
which had originally stood as many
statues. Five of these had long since
been destroyed or carried away. There
was one niche, however, which had
been overlooked either through super
stition or carelessness, and before this
there lay where 1t had fallen the statue
which had once stood within.
1t was heroic size statue made of
Par1an marble and showed a face like
that of the youthful Caesar Augustus
grown old with the cares of state. But
instead Of the toga it appeared to
wear the sacerdotal robe of priest of
Neptune.
AT first glance Signor Spinazzola rec
ognized the type of the imperial fam
lily of Julia Claudia and more particu-
iarly one of the Drusi. 1t was perhaps
Nero or Drusus.
Now, however, all doubt is ended,
for Signor Spinazzola, who is very
learned in all matters pertaining to
political Rome of the early Christian
centuries, has identified the statue as
that of Claudius himself-Claudius I'm
perator. He did this by comparing
the robe with others of known dates
and the features with those of others
on we'll identified statues of the en-
peror.
The statue is nearly seven feet in
height and shows Claudius in the robe
of Pontifex Maximus in the act of sac
rificing with yelled head.
1t is a wonderful piece of sculpture
both in design and creation, even to
the smallest details. 1t easily takes
its place among the most notable
works belonging to the first century.
1t was probably made between AZ and
40, for it bears a striking resemblance
to a mural portrait of that date pre-
served in the Naples museum.
