1t will be remembered that a
couple of the Hall brothers of
Pine Cienega disappeared several
years ago. They started off on a
bear hunt and never got back.
Their wives and friends claimed
they had been bushwacked and
killed near Ash Springs between
Duncan and Solomonville. The
country around there has been
hunted over and over again for
some sign of their remains but
until recently nothing has ever
been found. A short time ago a
skull was found near there. There
was q hole near the top Of the
skull over the right temple and
another over the roof of the mouth.
The holes have the appearance
of being made by a pistol or gun,
and their position indicates the
man was shot while lying down.
Friends of the Halls claim this is
the skull of one of the brothers.
The skull was sent to DIR. Clarke
for examination. He pronounced
it the skull of a white man who
had been dead for eight or ten
wears. The lower law was gone.
