Mound in Louisiana Gives Up Bones of Indians More Than Seven Feet Tall

NATCHEZ, Miss., June 21.-(AP) Skeletons of Indians estimatated to have been more than seven feet tall have been unearthed by explorers at Catahoula parish, Louisiana.

The discovery was made by Dr. E. A. Beithaupt and E. W. Knight and was regarded as contributing to the theory that the prehistoric mound builder once lived here.
