Aug. 7.-The archae¬ ologists who are traversing the Sus¬ quehanna river valley, visiting sites, of Indian villages and digging up aborigines and other relics, are said to have made a most astounding dis¬ covery on the Murray farm, near here, in finding the hones of OS pre¬ historic men. The average height of these men, when their skeletons were assembled, was seven feet, while many were much taller. Additional evidence of their gigantic size is found in the massive stone battle axes in their graves. The average age of the«e men is said to have been from 30 to IO years. Another amazing point of thc dis¬ covery is the allegation that "per¬ fectly formed skulls were found from which horns grew straight out from the head."
