struck the hills, while going up a calOn,
Mr.. MoLonghliA discovered a cave. There
was a beautiful spring of water close at
hand and 1t being about camping time
they camped. After doing so the party
proceeded to explore the cave and found
many curious things in the way Of Indian
signs which the antiquarian would pro-
nounce ancient and interesting. The
party report that the cave was about 125
feet in lenght and about go feet in depth
and about lS feet high, hat the walls
were covered with characters (heirogly-
phics) in different cClored paints represent
ing numerous exploits of Indian raids.
