CHICAGO, June 29.-For several DAYS
numerous complaints have beer made
to the health officers and the Deering
street police station by residents in the
vicinity of Archer avenue and Hough
place. Investigation was made by
both departments, but without locating
the trouble.
Yesterday several boys found near
he corner a human skull n several
thigh bones, bleached white. The lads
told the first policeman they met of
their discovery and he notified
health officer. DIR. Ware, with several
assistants, visited the scene and made q
more thorough search than had been
made.
A bad odor was detected from
~Schinesman' old ice house on the corne
The searchers ripped UP n part of the
floor and were mortified to find rows of
skeletons, to some of which shreds of
flesh still chung. Who placed them
there was not known, and the authori-
ties will make every effort to find the
guilty persons.
The theory advanced by the health
officers is that some attache of n medi-
cal college brought the subjects there
to bleach. The bones We're allowed to
remain in the building until the matter
can be more fully investigated.
