TEN SKELETONS DISCOVERED.
CHASTITY Find In IA Cave Near Seven Mile

CHASTITY Find In II Cave Near Seven Mile
RICHMOND, Sept. IA Bristol, Tenn,
special to the Dispatch says: Charles
Rector and boy named Morris, in ex-
p|oring cave near Seven Mile Ford,
Va, thirty miles east of this city. yes.
terday, discovered two skeletons, forty
feet below the surface. The cave had
long been known, but no one had ever
ventured to explore it. because of it's
great depth.
The Morris boy was let down by q
rope. When the find was reported
party OF citizens went to the cave to in
vesti9ate further. In all, ten skeletons
were taken out, and were adiudged to
be the bones OF men, women and chill
dren. One skeleton was found in a
sitting posture, with the skull reclining
on the arms, which were folded across
the knees.
Thus far there is but one way of &C.
counting for the charnel house. Old
citizens say that many years ago there
was an inn kept near this cave by man
named Allen and that occasionally
people who stopped there had myster-
iously disappeared and were never again
heard of. The supposition is that they
were killed in this inn, robbed OF their
valuables and then consigned to the
cave.
Some Of the skeletons discovered
were partially buried under stones and
many OF the bones were broken.
Whether these stones were scales which
fell from overhead or were placed there
by foul hands could not be, positively
determined

to put his name to such an agreement
VI would not sign those articles if
$500 were at stake" SAID Jackson
They are to vague. l have already
$40, 900 OF my own money on deposit
and only ask ghost Of charce to
win or lose it. 1 will fight Corbett
within three months for our side stakes
and any purse you offer, provided you
name the positive date and location of
the fight before signing the articles, or
| will fight him before the National

conditions"
jackson held that the articles were
not honest, and that they were drawn
up in Corbetts favor, without consider
alton of himself. You do not specify
whero the fight is to be hold. and NAV
compel noe to fight in the woods or on a
barge in some river" he said.
