| One of the most perfect specimens
of stone battle ak ever discovered
| in Iowa was picked UP last Sunday by
Mrs. c. E. Stream. while she and her
husband was gathering walnuts on
Charles G. Cockerill's farm southwest
Of Jefferson The AK was found near
the mouth OF a small ravine which
empties into the main creek which
comes down thru the old Woodland
place, and at point east of the road
across from the former Henderson
farm. The ak is now on display in the
Mark Wood furniture store window
and many have viewed it with great
| interest The original work upon the
| implement, which has been carved out
of ordinary granite. is as perfect in
form and detail as tho it had been the
work of as killed artisan-as it prob
ably was even if he was one of the
early Iowa aborigineS. Mrs. Stream
discovered it under some leaves which
| she had rakeC around in search Of the
walnuts. and the find" is a very val
liable one.
keokuk.
! While tearing down an old shack on
his farm eigh. miles west of Keokuk,
Albert Eevins found tin box. rusty
with age, which contained more than
| 5000 in silver and bills of various de-
| nominations. The box evidently had
| been placed under the caves of the
roof, for it was found when Nevins
began unloading the lumber of the old
structure into wagon. Who placed
| the treasure box in the shack which
| has been deserted for several years, is
a question that Nevins is unable to
| answer. Neighbors, however, say that
years ago The shack was occupied by
an eccentric old character whose name
| was Philip kincaid. The latter lived
alone in the rude dwelling with only
a large New foundland dog as his com
panion. He was seldom seen In public
! and eked out an existence from a truck
patch which he cultivated kincaid left
the country in 1907. He has never been
heard of stree. But IL he was the
owner of the money found by Nevins
why did he leave 1t behind? That is
another question which can not be
easily answered.
