A letter was read from Capt. W. P. Hall, stating that on August 18th, 

 1876, he came upon a small pen on the banks of Rock River, in which 

 an Indian was sitting, sunk in the earth about even with the head, not 

 covered, and in a bad state of decay, the stem of his pipe still between 

 his teeth. He was of the Musquakie or Fox tribe. On May 28th, 

 1885, he again visited the same locality, and, digging about one foot of

 (the wood being too rotten to save), which he donated to the Academy

 undisturbed.
