CAVE FOUND IN INDIANA HTS ;: AGE 0LD RACE. Giant Skeletons and Metals Strange To America Seen in Ancient
 Sepulchre
 BLIND SNAKES ARE FOUND Bottomless Pit Temporarily Halts All Expl0rations-Be Resumed at
 Later Date
BLIND SNAKES ARE FOUND

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1-Recent discoveries in widely separated local lties of the hills of Southern Indiana may be expected to add something to the general store of knowledge of nat ural history. The topography of h. diana is interesting from sand dunes bordering Lake Michigan to the roll ing hills which occupy the southern part and in places are but little short of smal mountains.
 In the hills, however, the geologist has found most to interest him as has more recently the archaeologist.
 The state museum in Indianapolis is crowded with evidence of a prehistor- ic past, but with small resources it cannot make the most of the oppor- tunity it might otherwise have of tearing off the veil from long gone ages.
 The opening of an ancient sepulchre
 
 American Indian and probably not re- lated to the mound builders, has ar oused much curiosity. This occurred in Jennings county, ten miles from North Vernon, in bend of a small creek where some excavatig was done in mound built by human hands and reaching 100 feet in height and about the same in diameter. Be- fore digging was stopped to await the arrival of more scientific help some interesting things were found.
 Bodies Guarded
 Protected by great stone slabs skel- etons of three men, the longest of which measured much beyond that of modern man, were found They show ed that infinite care had been taken that the remains be preserved against the ravages of the elements. Metals not common in North America also were found.
 Although the locality has been set tied more than 100 years, residents near Folsomville in the extreme south western part of the state did not know until recently that cave of mammoth proportions existed close at hand. The discovery was made by hunter who accidentally stumbled up- on the entrance. The cave reveal ed some things which easily outdo the author of "The Arabian Nights" and have the added advantage of more veracity perhaps.
 The most interesting "find" was species of blind snakes which hiss so loudly that the Stygian gloom of the earth's innermost recesses becomes all the more hideous. Nester and some friends succeeded in capturing two specimens alive, and they were sent to the Smithsonian Institution in Wash ington.
 After Nester and his party had pro- ceeded a distance of 300 feet they came upon a pit which apparently had no bottom. 1t was sounded to a depth of 2,50O feet. One compart- ment of the cave was warm and com- fortable and another extremely frig- i'd.
 Nester the discoverer, said he be- lieved a race of prehistoric men knew of the caves presence and made 1t their home and added it's size would accommodate thousands as dwelling place. He found many things to indi- cate human habitation, including ar row heads and stone implements.

POmerleau Case
Discharged Account
Lack of Evidence

Fred Pomerleau of Winslow was
arraigned in municipal court yester-
day afternoon at ESQ o'clock charged
with operating an automobile while
under the influence of Intoxicating
liquor. The complainant was Con-
stable w. T. Reynolds of Winslow
who testified making the arrest. F.
Harold Dubord represented the state
and A. A. Mathew handled the case
for the respondent.
Several witnesses appeared for the
state and the offence was alleged to
have been committed Saturday, June
z, at about $50 P. NJ, between a fixed
point ON Bay street in Winslow and
a cottage on the shores of Pettees'
pond. Most of the testimony was
given as an attempt to show that the
respondent was intoxicated at the
time that he was arrested which it
appeared was about one hour after
he had arrived at the cottage on the
shores of the pond. Because of the
lack of evidence indicating that he
was at all under the influence pre-
vious to his arrival to the pond, the
court discharged him.
