Nearly $50 photographs of Indian
mounds in southern and central Wis
consin were taken by DR.. George r.
Fox, curator of the Chamberlain
Memorial museum, Three Oaks, Mich,
recently. To carry out his new me-
thod of securing pictures from above,
DR.. Fox used a ladder or climbed
trees, and by busting the lines with
powdered lime, he secured unusually
clear photographs. One of the most
difficult mounds to photograph was
the famous man mound in Sank coun-
ty which has been marked with a
tablet and enclosed in park. It is
PA feet long, and an effigy of human
being walking. The intaglio panther
mound at FIT. Atkinson, the mounds
on the hillside on the west shore of
Lake Waubesa, the goose mound at
Merrill Springs, and the eagle mound
at Mendoza are among those which
were difficult to photograph but re-
suited in successful pictures. A set
of the photographs will later be on
at the State Historical mu-
scum, Madison.

ago. Mamie White, with whom she
had been living for several months, is

turned her affections to the K1einow-
ski girl and made complaint to Off
