A GREWSOME FI Skeletons of 11 Persons Found in an Indiana Murderer’s Den. Tudianapolis, Ind., March 2 sensational reminder of the ao of | Knoblock and Prather fawilies, of Dubois county, was unearthed yes terday by John Flaunigan, the pres ent owner of what still bears the name of “Knoblock Ranch.” were eight sons in the two families, and years ago they formed a part of + desperate gang of horse thieves! snd robbers that iufested Southern fudiana “Knoblock Place” was the most pretentious house in the coun ty, being a two-story log house, which was suffered to fall into de- cay after the gang was broken up and fled the state. The massive logs of which it was made rotted partial ‘y away and fell into a huge bY and have lain thus for years, a thi et of underbrush growing up around them. Fiannigan had a force of men at work to-day clearing the ground, and when the debris was removed the men began to take out the stone of which the foundation was made. They soon discovered that a cellar had been made under the floor, and the heavy logs which formed the ceiling was well preserved. These were remuved, and the cellar was seen to consist of three apartments. {n the corner of the apartment stood a heavy. high, old fashioned bed stead, upon which lay two skeletons, dressed in what appeared to be well- preserved clothing, though it fell to dust when touched. The skeletons were of a large sized man and a wo man. That of the man fying upon tts back with its arms by its sides, while the woman was ina crouching attitude, resting against the head board, with a brass. candlestick clasped in its bony fingers. The sight made the workmen shudder and turn away, only to be confront ed by a sight more grewsome in the adjoining apartment. Here the cel lar was found scrupulously cleav but for the mildew and musty smell Ranged along the north and west sides were two long benches made of split logs on which were nine skeletons, some of which had _ par- tially fallen. All of these skeletons were ina crumbling condition, but they held together sufficiently to permit removal toa couple of log offing, in which they were placed for burial to day. “Ministers ot the peace are requested to call at our drngstore and we will give them (free ot charge), one$5 00 box of “Cacterine” or Extract of Mexican Cac- tus, which cures Catarrh, hay tever and all throat and nasal troubles. H. L. TUCKER. 1-4m Only Needs an Appletree aa a Sepent St, Louis Star-Sayings Minnesota is legislating ina way that shows that she is trying to rival that happy land where St. Pete: guards the gate. Last week her law- makers went to work on four bills that beat the record. One was to prohibit the sale, manufacture, wear ing or loaning of hoopskirts; a sec- ond, to allow female suffrage for all offices; and a third to absolutely prevent pool selling at all times and places. But last, but not least, the state proposes to declare the accept- ance of a railroad pass by any legis lator or state officer to be the accept- ance of a bribe, punishable by a fine of not less than $5,000, or by ten years imprisonment. If the last bill passes, all Minnesota will need to be the original Garden’ of Eden will be an appletree and a serpent, as the late Mr. Spoopendyke would say. ’ See SE igs To night and To-morrow Night And each day and night during this wegk you can get at all drup: a tree saltiple bottle a Kemp’s Dea ae tie throat and lungs, the mgst» successful remedy ever sold for covghs, creup, bronsshitis, whooping céugh, asthma and consumption.
