GETTY.


The preliminary trial Of DR.. W. NJ.
Phillips, a chiropractor of DeLand.
was set before County Judge McCFory
today, but at the request of Murray
Sans, attorney for the defendant, the
case has been postponed in order to
allow more time TO look up the deci-
sions OF courts in other states.
The DeLand News says:
DIR. W. NJ. Phillips, DeLand's only
chiropractor. was arrested yesterday
afternoon on the charge of practicing
medicine without a certificate. The
warrant for the arrest was sworn out
by DR.. Forster. of Hawks Park. secre-
tary of the yolusia County Medical as
sociation.
There are four recognized schools
of medicine with licensed boards OF
examiners in Florida-Allopathic Ho
meopathic, Eclectic and Osteopathic
There is no school of chiropractic, and
no board of examiners for this breed.
Therefore. DR.. Phillips could not Sc
cure a certificate authorizing him Il
practice chiropractic if he desired t
do so.
''Dr. Phillips claims that he does no
practice medicine. that he is opposed
to the giving of medicine, and tina
there is no law by which he can b,
legally apprehended.

Cost Of eulIdIna Wire Fence.

An idea of the cost Of building
ba~rbed-wire fence is given in a circu-
lar relating to fence building in North
Dakota, recently issued by the United
States department of agriculture. The
costs in North Dakota are high, owing
to the fact that all material, including
posts, must be shipped in, and for this
reason the figures are thought to rep
resent practically a maximum for this
country. The maximum cost per rod
is 1863 cents, for a ~three-wire fence
with posts spaced n rod apart. A
two-wire fence with posts spaced one
rod apart costs 1922 cents per rod; a
four-wire fence with posts spaced two
rods apart costs 29.7 cents, and a five
wire fence with posts spaced three
rods apart. 80 cents. The figures also
show the low cost of wire as compared
with posts both in construction and in
upkeep.-Popular Mechanics.

RELICS OF OLD RACE
IMPORTANT FIND REPORTED 81
NEVADA SCIENTISTS.
Traces Of Ancient Civilization That
Antedates Anything Known in
American History Said to Be a
Discovery of Recent Date.

The archaeological department of the
University of Nevada has nearly com
pleted the exploration of a cave in Ne
vHla, sealed up by nature 5000 years
ago. 1t contains relics of what is be
lieved to be the ancient race from
which the American Indians sprung, a
race far older than the Aztecs. Among
the things brought to light is a skull
declared to be more than 5000 years
old certainly and possibly in existence
several hundred thousand years ago. Ii
these surmises are corSect, it is older
than the Piltdown skull. found in
Kent. England.
Along with the skull were found
many relics of a prehistoric race in q
remarkable state of preservation. be-
cause, they have been Theoretically
sealed in natures own preservatives.
The first mention of this ancient
civilization that is remembered b.
white men dates back to 1874, when
General Fremont led from California a
little band of whites across a new trail
through the Rockies. He followed the
Humboldt river until he came to the
shores of what is now called Hum
boldt lake, a half mile east of the main
Humboldt range of mountains, and a
mile south of Lovelock, New. In the
region of the lake he entered the land
of the Piute, the chief of whom was
Winnemucca. The trail makers were
met by the Indian chieftain with open
arms.
General Fremont and his party were
guests of the Piute band for many
days. Familiarity with other tribes
had taught Fremont a method of COM
munication by means of signs. He
asked the Indian chief If he, in his
great wisdom. could tell the white
man whence came the red men-their
origin. The aged chief by signs indi
Gated that the history of the Indians
went back to the beginning OF the
world. 1t told him his ancestors had
driven a whole nation into a huge cav
ern and sealed them there to perish.
When years later Chief Winnemucca
had learned the white mans tongue
the Piute legends spread among the
pioneer miners and finally reached the
ears of scientific men. With the COM
ing of educators into Nevada in the
last 25 ear interest quickened with
reported fossil discoveries in the beds
OF extinct rivers and on the falls Of
canyons.
At Winnemucca's death his daugh-
ter, Sarah, became attached to the
family of an army officer, and through
them the legends became public when
they were recountod in a book printed
in 1870.
Her granddaughter, Sarah Winnie
mucca, was educated in a reservation
school. Her imagination fired by the
legends of her people, she repeated
them to her instructors, until finally
Prof. ]. C. Jones. chief of the archeo-
logical department of the state uni
versity, determined to make a search
for the lost cave. The stories indi-
Gated that it must be somewhere near
the Humboldt lake. Sarah Winnemuc-
ca picked a spot as near as the leg
ends could guide her, from which point
the scientists conducted their search
successfully.
