These latter were made of two walnut shells and had a handle between the two, the shells being filled with gravel made rattle.
 Old citizens of the community where the mound is located say that the mound has been plowed over and cultivated for at least 60 years. The relics of Indians were found at depth of less than three feet

Fair Association To
Purchase New Ground

AT a meeting of the board OF
directors of the fair association
held a short time ago, it was de-
cided TO try and obtain grounds
nearer the city aud a committee
was appointed to investigate the
matter. The committee, which
was composed of j. H. Neil and
William Noyen, has spent con-
siderable time in looking into the
matter and examining sites that
have been offered.
The tract which has met with
the most favor of any shown is
one on the south side of the ST..
Joe river between the Olinger
laundry and the bridge across the
river. There is something over
four acres in the tract and, al
though that is not as large as
imany desire, it is thought that it
will do very we'll. 1t is as CEN
trally located as would be possi-
bic to find, which of itself is a
big attraction.
It is stated that this land can
be purchased at reasonable
lprice and upon terms which tho
association can meet. The com
mittee will make its report at the
next directors meeting and vii
recommend that this land be pur-
chased and the directors vii
probably adopt this report.

Mayor Roberts and 20 Aids Convicted
Government Wins.
Indianapolis, April S.-AIl of the 81
defendants, including Mayor Dom NJ
Roberts, in the Terre Haute election
fraud cases were found guilty by a
jury on Tuesday. The case has been
on trial in the federal court here since
March s.
Judge Anderson announced that
sentence would be passed on the q
who were found guilty and the 80
who have pleaded guilty next Monday.
The federal government based it's
claim to Jurisdiction on the fact that
a United States senator and a mem
Der of congress were being voted for
in the election. The indictment charged
that qualified voters were prevented
from exercising that right, that quail
ned persons were prevented from serv-
ing on election boards, and that per-
sons who had committed no offense
were deprived of their liberty without
due process of law. The final count
charges a scheme to defraud the gam
blers and saloonkeepers of Terre
Haute. and in furtherance OF this
scheme a letter was placed in the
mails. This count is based on section
215 of the penal code of the United
States.
