Affair. The Red Men have never been
suspected oil any partisan purpose, and It
by no means certain that they sent the

them. In fact it is hoped, with some rea-

CEASED to exist. To be entirely frank, the
counties mentioned in the Commercial Ga.

In some communities Democrats in

A GREAT PIaD.
A Farmer Discovers tlueer Cave In the
Mouutnlps,

\
MouutnIps,
LITTLE RecK, ARK, November l9.-Great
excitement is caused by strange find in
the mountains. A farmer, while hunting,
discovered cave, and on exploring it
found the skeleton Of man, together with
several silver coin pieces. These latter had
evidently been manufactured by the Span.
iards years ago.. The date, appearance and
inscription indicate extreme antiquity
The remains were in wonderful state Of
preservation, though the skull and limbs
were detached aud scattered. The belief
is everywhere expressed that the cave is
close to the silver mines which are known
to exist in the mountain iasinese, and
which were worked by the Spaniards years
since, and aiterward closed 80 etieClually
that no trace OF them has ever been found.
Parties have been organized 10 make thor.
ough search throughout the chain oil the
Boston Mountains, and It is more than
probable that the shafts so long closed may
avain be opened.
