Madame Doyle Explains Her Reasons fer
Leaving Yankton.
Mention was made in these columns a few
days ago Of the departure of Madame Doyle
from Yankton, and of the fact that she left
behind her a number Of unpaid bills. This
notice came to the observation of the mad
anne, and she has written a letter to her
attorney in this city giving the reasons for
her sudden departure. She says her Yank-
ton customers her $3.50, and her inabil-
ity to collect any Of this induced her to
seek some better paying community where
she could make money enough to meet the
demands of her Yankton creditors; that of
the above sum $3.50 is due on saloon bills
contracted while she was running a saloon
on the corner of Third and Capital streets,
and that the balance, $3.50, is on account Of
her Levee establishment. She further states
that she will sell these accounts, individu-
ally OF collectively, for twenty-five cents on
the dollar, and is considering the proprlety
of advertising them for sale Ut the above
discount, giving names and amount. Such
q publication would create NO particular in.
terest here. as Of course no Yankton mans
name would appear in the list.

EsAsyiAtehla Old Rsnaaias,
On the farm Of Mr.. John N. Lyon, about
three miles south Of Rockport ON the Jim
there are thrss mounds, each increasing
about six feet in height and thirty feet in
diameter. Some time ago MI. Lyon having
chosen . Of these mounds - the site for
his sorghum mill, began to excavsse it. A
little beneath the surface be found q bed Of
stones varying from the siss Of . mans
fist to that II his head, of which about .
wagon load were taken out. At the time
he expressed il. ~ his opinion that in times
past some people had used this and the
other mounds Is . place Of burial, and so it
has lately proved. His two sons, William
and Charles. in continuing the work, after
having penetrated the bed Of stones came
upon a human skeleton in the soft earth,
and asthey ven on with their work more
were unearthed. Up to Saturday, the 7tb,
sixty-6ve skulls had been exhumed. AZ
yet but a small part of the mound has been
opened and there are probably Is many
more skeletons yet within. The two mounds
yet untouched were likely built and used
for the same purpose. The one thing re-
marksble about these bones, is, that they
are larger than the bones of the present
race of man. Here is a grand chance for
those desiring to study into that ancient
race of people known as the mound
builders. From the structure of
these mounds and pottery found near
them 1t would appear that these were once
numbered among the same people who
butt the mounds In Ohio and the embark
nent opposite st. Louis.
Concerning this peculiar and ancient peo-
pie. history can not speak with certainty.
They have disappeared from the face of the
earth and left no record behind, a Y that
Of their mounds, together with their arms,
implements and bodies deposited therein.
They cannot be identified with any exist
ing race. Their mode of living and man
ner of burial was peculiar to themselves.
Whence they came aud whittier they went
Is alike unknown. By some historians it
is conjectured. and only copjectured, that
our present race of Indians. being a war
like people. came down from the north
and waged war upon them to determination /;
by others that they were driven south and
having advanced in civilization were known
as the Pueblo or Aztec Inoians.
On the opposite side of Jim river and
about a mile away is q similar mound. In
Clay county there is yet another. but on a
much larger scale. Mr.. Lyon says that
scientific men aud men seeking after knowl.
edge are welcome to examine into these
s%epulchers, but that he will not allow the
bones Of the dead to be disturbed by mere
curiosity seekers.
