a Tell-Tale Skeleton.

Special to the Statesman.
PARIS, Tex, May ia day or two ago
Jim Bohannon, while blowing on the farm
of W. L. Foster, near Red river, plo
up the skeleton of man. The plow
point caught the under jaw and dragged
the whole ekeleton out, which was in a per-
feot state of preservation. 1t caused
much excitement and a great deal of
speculation as to how it came there. The
place where it was found has been in cul-
tivation for twenty years, and the oldest
settlers had no knowledge of grave
there. Besides it is not likely that it had
been there so long as that. 1t is believed
that the bones are those of some man
who mysteriously disappeared.

denying to Indians of other tribes who
