After q lapse of close upon 1000
years since the destruction of Pompcii,
the skeletons Of four of the victims
have been discovered in the actual
positions in which they were over.
taken by the catastrophe.
Two of these, victims, apparently n
man ana wife belonging to the upper

the shower OF red-hOt stones In tho
clolstered garden OF their villa, and
while Fastening to seek shelter in a
corner had been suddenly buried and
asphyxiated through the collapse Of
the roof overladen with volcanic dust.
The husband was found in sitting
position, with his head and back bent
forward and the legs wide apart. His
wife was standing erect Immediately
behind him. Her gold earrings were
found on level with her ears, and
there are two gold rings still on the
fingers.
A third skeleton was that of youth

garden wall. The last of the group, a
full-sized man, bent almost double

debris, had on finger of the right
hand an iron ring inset with prettily
engraved cOrnelian.

HAS FAMILY in ITALY

Guiio Bragone. Knox county select
i've service man in training at Camp
Sherman, who tried to secure exemp-
ton from service on the ground that
he has a wife and children dependent
upon his services and was refused ow-
ing to the fact that the law makes
no provisions for exemption in cases
where the dependents do not live in
the United States, while Bragones
family lives in Italy, has not yet CIV
en- up his fight for discharge depsite
the TACT that his claims were refused
both by tho local board and the dis.
trict board.
Bragone visited the Office of H. G..
Devin, clerk of the local board, Mon
day morning, being here from Camp
Sherman on a visit, to inquire if 1t
would be possible for him to get a
discharge If he were to bring his
wife and children here from Italy.
BragCne said that it was impossible
for him to care for his family on the
salary he receives as a soldier and
maintains that he wouldn't mind the
army life If 1t were otherwise.
Mr. Devin informed the man that
the recent ruling of the provost mar
shal general had closed all rchearings
of draft cases, but that in case Mrs
Bragone became resident Of the
United States he could probably get
ing officer at Camp Sherman.
Mr., Devin is of the opinion that
Bragone will arrange to bring his
family to this country if possible and
at least make an attempt to secure
his discharge.
