RELICS OF ANCIENT PEOPLE

Found in Cave on Farm of Judson Forrest, Near Kingsdale

H. Judson Forrest, of Littlestown, reports the discovery at his stone and sand quarry, of a cave and various implements made out of wood and stone, which shows that the section was once inhabited by an ancient race of people who lived probably in pre-historic times.

He also reports that there are certain devices found in the cave carved on stone and wood that indicates the manner of communicating with each other. He has found what he thinks were idols dedicated to the Sun God worship. One of the caves discovered is used as a place to keep tools and other paraphernalia used about the quarry.

The place is close to Kingsdale, and the relics are in a fine state of preservation.

TELLS OF QUAKE IN JAPAN IN 1891

Miss Anna Forest, of Littlestown, Was Missionary There

CANNOT BELIEVE NEWS

Says Calamity at that Time Was Greatly Exaggerated in Press Reports, Water Famine is Danger.

Miss Anna Forrest, of Littlestown, a foreign missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who was working in Japan during the fire and earthquake of 1891, has left her home in this county for New York, from where she sailed this morning for a year's trip to India, China and Japan. Miss Forrest has several relatives in the present stricken area of Japan, and she is anxiously awaiting reports of their whereabouts.

Miss Forrest, in an interview given last week, gave a vivid description of her memories of the 1891 earthquake.

"I cannot and will not believe the reports at present in this country regarding the Japanese catastrophe. They resemble the reports received here of the "quake of '91, which later proved to be very incorrect. Hundreds of thousands of persons were reported killed at that time and cities destroyed, but, when the correct facts were known, fatalities were listed at 2,000 and none of the cities or towns were entirely destroyed.

"I was in the city of Nayoga, about 218 miles from Yokohama, with two other missionaries when the 'quake came. Within a period of forty-eight hours there were 360 earthquakes. Fire followed, but it was checked before any cities had been destroyed. Fourteen were wounded and four were killed in Nayoga. Among the injured were my two co-workers, both of whom survived.

"According to the reports I have read there is a water famine. If this is the case more deaths will result from the natives' drinking impure water, taken from surface wells, than from the 'quake and fire. Martial law has been in force in regards to drinking this impure water, but I greatly fear that this cannot be properly enforced now.

"Newspapers carry the story of a closer relationship between Japan and America since this catastrophe. This surely is true. The Japanese are a thrifty, lovable and wonderful people. Only one thing hinders the Japanese. That is that the country is not large enough for its inhabitants."

Two cousins of Miss Forrest, Charles and John Reifsnider, of Tiffin, Ohio, both ordained Episcopal ministers, at last reports were in Tokio (sic). Other missionary friends of Miss Forrest's are also in the devastated district.

Miss Forrest has served a missionary in Japan for thirty-two years. She returned to Littlestown fourteen years ago when her father, Hamilton W. Forrest died. Just recently her mother died. During the fourteen years in this country Miss Forrest engaged in local missionary work.

She attended a meeting of missionaries in Inwood, Long Island, Saturday and Sunday, sailing on the City Lahore from New York in company with her secretary, Mrs. William Sturgeon, of Pittsburgh, for Bombay, India.

Two men were injured, one suffering a fracture of the left leg above the knee and a third escaped unhurt when the floor of a barn on which they were standing collapsed and they fell more than seven feet at 8:30 o'clock this morning.

Emory H. Forrest, aged about 65 years, of 50 York street, the more seriously injured, suffered a fracture of the left leg above the knee, and was taken to the Warner Hospital in the Gettysburg ambulance.

Nicholas Redding, West High street, suffered a puncture wound on the right arm at the wrist. He received treatment at the office of a local physician.

George Fitzgerald, Hanover street, escaped injury.

The accident occurred at a barn at the rear of the home of Mr. Forrest on York street. Mr. Forrest, Mr. Redding and Mr. Fitzgerald had started to remodel the barn so that a large truck owned by Mr. Forest's son, Frank, could be drawn into the place.

The three men were standing on the second floor of the barn when a large girder gave way and all three were precipitated to the first floor.

Mr. Redding's arm struck a spike when he fell and his right arm was punctured at the wrist.

Later in the day, work of remodeling was resumed by Mr. Redding and Mr. Fitzgerald.

Mr. Forrest's son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Forrest, who live with the elder Mr. Forrest, left several hours before the accident for Cincinnati, Ohio, and will be gone until the middle of the week.
