MYSTERY BONES
 FOUND IN OHIO

Kenton, O.-The skeleton of a man, who perhaps lived long before Columbus touched the shores of America, was found recently ing a gravel pit on a nearby farm.
 The curiosity was discovered by W. S. Barringer, Lima, an amateur anthropologist, under 12 feet of earth.
 In his study of the skeleton. Bar ringer discovered that it could not have been that of North Ameri- can Indian. This was indicated in the fact that the cheek bones were not we'll defined. Yet the skull did not indicate that the man was a member either of the white or black races.
 Barringer said he had two reasons for believing the man might have belonged to a migrating race which came to Ohio from California 500 to 1000 years ago.
 One was that in the grave were found numerous shells, evidently used as gorgetes, which, Barringer said, were found only on the Califor- mia coast and on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico.
 The second was that the front teeth in the lower jaw were cross- wise. Recently road builders near Bedding, Cal, uncovered, under 20 feet of lava, the graves of a race which had this characteristic.

Loue Pirate NowSued ByLa1Uyer
 For $56, 900 Fees
Edna Leedom Doelger, Named By Doris Downes Endors,
 Faces More Trouble as Rifts Develop

The $400,000 alienation of affec- tions suit started by Doris Downes Endors, former Waterbury girl, has been revived in New York city by the announcement that the former defendant in the case, Edna Leedom Doelger, a Follies' beauty, has been separated from her husband and is now being sued for $56,000 counsel fees.
 Doris Downes alleged that Edna stole the affections of her husband, Chick" E;ndors. a vaudeville enter tainer. The couple have since been divorced. Chick" spent several weeks in jail. a member of the ali mony club for failing to pay the courts order. The $40O,0O0 suit ended in cash settlement of $1,O0O.
 Here's the latest angle on the Endors and Dodgers:
 The $2,O00,000 bliss into which pretty Edna Leedom. formerly of the Follies, stepped when she mar ried Frank Doelger, heir to the beer fortune, has dwindled to $60O,OOO and separate apartments.
 Edna, it has been learned, has taken her baby and moved to Jack son Heights, while Doelger is living in the family mansion in Fifth ave- nue.

This has been going on for three months now.
 Why?
 That's not out yet.
 News of their arrangement came on the tail of a legal action filed against Mrs Doelger by her former attorney, George A. Hopkins, of the Woolworth Building, who brought about the settlement year ago and hasn't been paid yet.
 His Charges Arc $56,OO0.
 A year ago, exactly, Edna, then living with her husband. decided that she must have her own money. Her husbands people, who control the Doelger purse strings, weren't particularly fond of her. it was thought, and if something hap pened" she'd be out in the bliz- gard.
 So she retained Hopkins to per- |suade Doegler to provide her with a separate checking account.
 Unfortunately, Mrs Chick Endors happened to be suing her for $400,- 900 heart balm. So she deferred the settlement, lest Mrs Endors take it away from her. And finally she &C., cepted it, but failed to pay her at- tOrney.
