Aboriginal War Weapon

Charles Hale, of near Milán, was in the city, yesterday, and exhibited a huge flint spear head, which he found on his brother Israel Hale's farm, well known as the Moore farm. The weapon is 3 inches wide and 5 inches long, the center being coni posed of a sort of conglomérate, and polished. Out of the various seams and colors in this field, it is possible with a little carmine and blue in the imagination, to trace the forms of beasts, birds and creeping things; and these nteresting materializations might be greatly heightened by crossing the fancy with a "jag" of Milan whiskey. The suggestion, however, is purely theoretical. The spear head is about the size of a Detroit republican politician's gall, and as hard as the heart of Pharaoh, and was probably used by the aboriginal Washtenaw Milanese in repelling the fierce tribes that swarmed up to the county line from Monroe. There was not in the prehistorie days much amity between the tribes of Milan, and it is said that they tomahawked each other, even more than now.
