on which is situatod hno spring. a few mouths
since. this spring not supplying sufficient water
to irrigata h,a garden, Martin employed some
three or four Indians, md began to clean out
and enlarge it. After digging down short dis
tance lie found N immense quantity OF loose
rocks Of ali sizes, which he proceeded to remove.
Aftor doing 80 he found several human skele-
tons. On making this discovery the Indians
became somewhat excited, and expressed
desire to stop work; but, after much
persuasion, Martin succeeded ia getting
them to work again, and iu short time took
from the spring nine skulls and other bones be-
lougiug to the human frame. Tie Indians re-
frslug to work any lunser. aud the water coming
in so Fast he was compelled to glve up work for
the time. Martin is couddent that there are
seyetnl more yet in the spring. and as soon "a
possible will remove them. Those takeu out
were buried short distance from the spring.
The akuils are evidently those OF white persons
OF all ages and se1cs.-infaute, cil,ldren, mud
adults. Besides these wcre also found glass bot
ties and other couveniences used by emigrants
in camping; also quantity OF flint arrow-hoads,
such as are used By the Pit Rlver Indiana, and in
one Of tho skulls was found split ball. The
Indians profess to be wholly ignorant of the
matter, yet all the circumstances give evidence
that an emigrant train was murdered hera
many years ago, and that the Indians are tie
authors OF it.

his unconditional release from tho prison-keep-

sketch Of lis Iifo. not boloro published, will ba
read with interest, and carefully pondered over,
By those wishing justice naesed out to avery

Hts EARLY LIFE
Spence Pettis is a Virginiau BY birth, OF re-
spoctable family, and ia now about 10 years OF
age. pettis County in Missouri is so called in
honor OF an uncle. who was lawyer in St. Louis.
Tho branch Of the family to which Potts belong
moved from Virginia to New York City, and
pettis had from carly youth tho scholastic ad-
vantaecs Of tho Empira City. During Spence's
school life hts father became infatuated with
woman With whom he lived in an irregular way,
4 dissolution OF the family WAS tbs result.
Spence remained in New York with his father
and tue new housekeeper, to whom the elder
pettiB was subsequently married. Tho mother
and ulster took themselves away, and tho sister,
now the only ono Ut tho TWO remaining, IL aup-
posed to be living in California Stata.
N!6 l.CL1sATioS TO A FAST LITE.

understood BY referring to paragraph recently
published, which represents au interview between

there is an indictment in New York City against
