He could eat nothing but thin corn starch and liquids Sunday dur ing a violent fit of coughing he coughed up a big plum seed and shortly after was able to eat a hearty meal. An interesting discovery was made in Clearfield county lately. The petri-! tied body of a large Indian was tound 1 in the most perfect condition. The discovery was made by the work- i men who are building a road from i Clearfield Bridge to Belsena. As tliei men were making a cut through a j rocky hill they unearthed the perfect body of the Indian at a depth of seven feet from the surface. The body is a perfect specimen in eveiy respect, the features being clean-cut and lifelike, except for color, and the entire speci men resembling a statute chiseled by a master hand. The arms of the Indian are folded. Ten men were required to remove the petrified body trom its rest ing-place.
