APE MEN AND WOMEN
R0AMED IN WISCONSIN
AGES AGO, BONES PROVE
Skeletons Uncovered; Small
Heads, JaWboneS of SimianS
Buried Deep in Clay

Madison, Wis, June 15.-Examina-
ton tof skeletons discovered in
mounds at Lake Delevan and Lake
Lawnfarm was declared today to in
dictate that a hitherto unknown race
of men inhabited Southern Wisconsin
ages ago. Information of the charac
teristics of the skeletons was brought
to Madison by Attorney Maurice Nor
rissey of Delayan and Charles e.
Brown, curator of the State Histori-
cal. Museum, will make further in
vestigation.
The heads are much smaller than
those of any people which inhabit
America today From directly over
the eye sockets, however, the head
slopes straight back and the nasal
bones protrude far above the cheek
bones. The jawbones are long and
pointed, resembling those of the ape.
! Skeletons supposed to be those of
women had smaller heads, which were.
similar in facial characteristics.
The skeletons are embedded in
charcoal from four to ten feet deep

BATS TO FIGHT

Texas Man Has New Plan to

There is man in Texas who has
found out a new way to light the mos

Campbell. He is official bacterIl2gis
of the city OF San antonio. His ide,
says the wffter in the Technical
World Magazine, is to employ bats as
mosquito lighters The neignborhooa
of San Antonio. is especially plagued
with mosquitoes malaria. is more or
less rife in the vicinity--an for a
long. time past the inhabitants of tns
municipality and is suburbs have
eagerly sought to find solution OF
the problem. Much benefit has been
obtained by keeping minnaws in cist-
erns and ponds these small fishes be
ing greedy devourers OF mosquito lar
vae-but such measures have not al
together met requirements.
Bats, as is well known, are insect
eaters, and are particularly fond OF
mosquitoes. In the twilight, when
they rove abroad, they devour i'm.
mense numbers of the pestiferous IN
sect4-their manner being to dass
back and forth through a swarm and
gobble the victims up by wholesale.
In view of which fact, it occurred to
DR.. Campbell that It night be good
idea to establish In and about San A
tonic number OF bat roosts,' as he
calls them-that is to say, structures
SO contrived. as to invite bats for
sleeping purposes. He has already
put up two of them, and proposes To
erect others, those already in opera

THIEF RETURNS WATCH
STOLEN TWO YEARS AGO

Conscience stricken after two
years possession, an unknown
person who stole a gold watch
from the desk of William Rosa
in March, 1910. returned the
timepiece by mail to the proper
owner a few days ago. Rosa, at
that time a sophomore at Nc
} KinIey High School. and at pres
ent assistant Federal Court
clerk, says that although the
watch was new. a recent gift s
from his mother, it has been
;. cleaned and is in better condi-
ton now than when he lost it.
The identity of the thief is
unknown. That the act was
originally intended as a joke
which became serious when the
} thief became frightened at his !,
own temerity. is the 1belief of
Rosa.
This is strengthened by the
; legend in serawling script on
the small plain box that carried
} the watch back to Rosa, which
, reads. Returning. Did not mean
, to take it."
Rosa, who graduated from the
J High School this spring, had ,
given up all hope of recovering
the timepiece. The principal and
}, the police were notified at the
) time, but no clue to the identity
) of the person who took it was
obtained.

"Bald jack Rose, who says he was
Becker's gambling house collector, felt
the ground slipping from under him. day
by day. Without money or friends, he
realized that he was being made to bear
the weight of the crime alone. His coun-
sci advised him to confess. Rose became
completely terrified. To his counsel
James L. Sullivan, he said:
IF you see to it that my wife and
children are protected, I'll come across
and tell the truth about this killing"
limitations were made to Rose that
an indictment might be expected against
him and then he confessed. Counsel for
Weber and WALTON, catching the drift
of things, also advised their clients to
tell all the truth and become immunized
Rose told Whitman that for long time
he had been Beckers gambling house
collector That Becker, as head of the
