SKELETONS BONES OF PREHISTORIC DWELLERS UNCOVERED AT PENDLETON Skelletons Supposed to Be Those of Indians One of Them Possibly a Woman. Pendleton, Ind., August 24. As Ward Fuqua was loading gravel in a pit iu the W. S. McCarty farm, suih of here, he struck his pick into what seemed to be a human skull. Investigation followed with the result that two skeletons, persumably those of Indians, were exhumed. The bones were in a bad state of decomposition and tended to crumble upon coming in contact with the air. By careful handling the pieces were put tojrt-ther sufficiently to ascertain something of the size of the people buried here at that far off mysterious' time. One, possibly a woman, was something over five fees in height, while the other, whose heavier bones betokened a man, appeared to have belonged to a person nearly six feet in height. The former was facing the south and lay face downward, as if the body had been carelessly tossed into a hastily made grave on the hilltop, or had been buried while yet alive, and in choking agony had contracted its body and rested his face on his arm in an effort to shut out the stragling soil and yet a little air might yet be around the body. The decayed condition prevented the excavators from discovering any traces of physical violence that might have caused the death of these unknown people. There is no knowledge at hand of any private burial ground being located there either of recent years or of pioneer (limes, iue SKeieions migiit be thoe ii; m. . -i ll t . . of a pioneer and his wife, but the strange positions of the bodies forbid such a conclusion, unless that hill was the scene of a forgotten massacre. There has been no agency of nature which would contain bodies so buried. The number of stone darts and fragments of waring instruments found around the pit would tend to prove that the moan was an Indian burial site. - "STRICK" GILLILAN Subject of Sketch in Leslie's Weekly of the Last Issue.
