FIND MAN'S BONES OF PRE-INDIAN ERA University Explorers Dig Up Prehistoric Skeleton at Galena, Il By the Ascociated Press. CHICAGO, September 13.—The skeleton of a pre-historic American, an ancestor of the Indians who later roamed the Midwestern plains, has been uncovered in a mound at Galena, Tll.. by a University of Chicago an thropological expedition. ‘The bones, those of a man about 30, were in a flxed position, the arms folded across the breast and the knees drawn up to the chin, The find, detalls of which were told in dispatches to the Chicago Tribune, was made Sunday about three feet be- low the surface, along a 1,100-foot ridge of mound. The scientists are under the direction of Prof. Iay Cooper-Cole. Nearby were portions of two other skeletons, while bundles of bones of a woman, a child and a dog also have been found. Tllinois, according to Prof. Cole, is the key State, anthropologically speaking, in the picture of pre-historic America_which sclence is trying to depict. Efforts are being made to find out what sort of people produced the Indian tribes that the white man found in this locality, and whether the civilization is linked with the great mounds of Ohio and the lower Mix sissippi. A large collection of relics alre; has been gathered in the Galena are by amateurs, and now it is planned to survey the district and open the mounds thoroughly. 1In one locali alone there are 142 mounds untou Others have been looted of arrow heads, hammer heads, pottery, pipes, copper ornaments and other relics Skeletons uncovered will be incolsed in plaster and sent to the universit laboratory for measuring and then will go to the Field Museum and othe:r institutions. The type of civilization revealed is not high, in the opinion of Prof. Cole, who said that no writing has been uncovered in mounds in any part of the United States. OHIO YIELDS MANY RELICS. Copper Ax and Ceremopial Offering of Great Value Dug Up. BATNBRIDGE, Ohio, September 13 (®).—With less than one-haif of the Seip group of prehistoric Indian mounds near here explored, work for the season has been wound up. The climax of the year's digging was capped Saturday, when an im portant ceremonial offering and s rifices of rare value were removed from the mounds. The relics will be taken to Ohio State Museum, at Co lumbus. Among the most interesting objects in the sacrificial offering were eight large copper breastplates, shield shaped several of them embellished with exceptionally fine and intricate scrolled designs. A gigantic ceremonial copper ax, weighing about 15 pounds and said to be the second largest prehistoric copper implement ever found, was among the relics. The find also in- cluded a large quantity of finely preserved woven fabric of unusually fresh condition. The entire offering occupied « rectangular platform of carefully com- pacted earth, elevated one foot above the floor of the mound. Inclosing this platform had been erected a cabinlike structure of logs. WOULD EXTEND SIGNALS. Director Eldridge Proposal More Traffic ¥ights.
