Cyrus Ball Unearthed Bones Of an Indian Near Wilders.

The following item from our old friend and former townsman is taken from the Francesville Tribune: Constable Cyrus Ball recently placed on exhibition in Francesville, several bones, including parts of the arm, skull and' spinal column of a human being. These bones were found by Albert McSweeney, east of Wilders, Ind., together with some arrow points and other evidence of their being those of an aborigine. They were carefully examined by Geo. Moon, a graduate of the American Institute of Anthropology, who is known tp be one of the most skillful experts in the identification of ancient skeletons, in northern and he pronounces them the bones of a race of people once inhabiting these pa/rts, called the American Indian. ’
