Found q woman's Skeleton.

New YORK, Aug. 81 The skeleton of
a young woman was found i'll the woods
two miles south Of Calverton, l.. l., by a
party of berry-pickers IN Saturday after
noon. 1t was extended at full length.
One arm was above the head and the
other lay close by the side. The skeleton
vas about FIVE feet six inches in height.
In the forehead above the eye sockets
were two ragged holes the size of a dime.
Small fractures were around the two
holes. The skeleton had probably been
there fully three years, as the bones were
bleached white. A fire swept through
these woods in the spring of 1888. On
removing the bones bits of a brown dress,
a silk handkerchief, and what was at one
time a pair Of silk mitts were found.
From pieces of the dress examined il
looked as if the material was dark green
silk. A pair Of small high-heeled shoes
were on the feet. The teeth were sound.
No jewelry was found on the skeleton,
nor was there anything that might lead
TO an identification.
Ii 10 believed the woman was foully
dealt with. The spot where the skeleton
was found is a lonely place and is seldom
visited by any but berry pickers. An
abandoned wagon road runs near the
spot. The coroner will hold an inquest
over the bones.

CRAwFORD's SIDE
ae Makes Matters Plain Regarding
His Fees From the Greek Indians.

His Fees From the Greek Indians.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Ex-Governor
Samuel j. Crawford, against whom it
was proposed to institute proceedings for
having as attorney of the Creek Indians
received 10 per cent. OF the proceeds OF
the sale of about 2 ,400, 900 acres of their
sands in Oklahoma, today filed with the
secretary Of the interior a sworn state
ment. When the Greeks in December,
1884, learned that bills were pending Ill
congress to vest in the United States the
title to the Oklahoma lands they EN-.
ployed him either to defeat the legisla'
ton or secure compensation, agreeing to
pay him 10 per cent. on whatever amount
he might secure. He obtained s., $50, S57
for their interest. The secretary Of the
interior approved Crawford's contract
after amending II to make the compensa-
ton 81 per cent. In December, 1888, the
new delegates Of the Creeks asked a new
contract fixing the compensation at lO
per cent, to be the fee for all past AID
future services. This new contract was
approved b ythe Creek national council.
In February, 1889, Secretary Villas in
formed Governor Crawford that he would
defeat the measure. which was then
pending in congress, to make application
to pay the Greeks for their lands, unless
he (Crawford) surrendered the contract
and looked to the Indians for whatever
compensation they deemed just. Gov
ernor Crawford says he agreed under pro
test to this arrangement, and since ther
hasihad no control over what compensa
zion the Creeks should give, and the.
fixed the fee themselves and without hi
Interference.
