GRINNING SKULLS
And Remains of Giant Found il
a Stone Receptacle.

And Remains of Giant Found in
a Stone Receptacle.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Workmen engaged in eXcavating
on the farm of Abiah Hayes un.
earthed a singular find. Several
feet below the surface they reached
a large flat stone, which proved
to be the lid or covering of a stone
box about two feet squared and the
same in depth. The stone vault,
for such it was, had been tightly
sealed with clay. Upon it's rocky
bottom lay two human skulls; not
another bone or vestige Of human
ity was found in this small, but Sc.
curely built vault, nor was there
the slightest evidence to indicate
that anything had ever been
placed in this peculiar repository
than the human heads of which
the grinning skulls were the only
remnants, nor would the contract
ed space have admitted of any
thing save the twol heads that had
evidently been severed from the
bodies and buried by themselves,
for what purpose conjecture only
could surmise. By the side of the
entombed heads, in a disturbed
and broken scpulcher, was the
giant skeleton of a man. Spear
points Of flint, a huge stone AK
and other emblems of Indian
warfare lay with the rubbish
Of decayed articles that had been
buried with the colossal corpse. A
measurement of the fieshless bones
was taken before they were dis
turbed and proved to be seven feet
and two inches in length, showing
that when imbued with life their
pOSsGssOr must have stood nearly
eight feet high. When exposed to
the air the bones rapidly crum bled
and could not be removed or han
died. Buried by the side OF the
bOdyless heads and in similarly
constructed receptacle, there must
have been some connection and
relative history associated with
their lives, demise and interment,
but what it was the opened, but ST.
lent, graves gave no explanation.
Could it have been that the giant
bones were those OF a mighty chief
tain, who, when stricken down by
the shaft of death, was buried by
his tribe with the dismembered
heads of human foes, or had cruel
superstition caused the more heart
less act of beheading his favorite
wives, that the might accompany
him to the "happy hunting
grounds" Of the benighted savage ?
The lapse of fieeting years has sur
rounded the strange sepulcher with
a maze of mystery that time can.
not dispel nor future reveal.
The crumbled bones were raked
to an adjacent spot and carefully
reburied, their true history going
to oblivion with them.

A Costly Joke.

Last night John H. Combs sum-
moned the patrol wagon from a
place on San Pedro avenue,
and then boarded a north bound
street car, intending to play what
he termed a joke on the city
police. He was pursued by the
mounted officers and taken to the
police station for being drunk and
disorderly. This morning he paid
a $40 fine for his fun.

Sneak Thieves,

The clerk of the recorders court
complains that his family clothes
line was relieved of numerous ar
ticles last night. 1t would be well
for the police to look after loafing
Aztecs who carry axes as an ex-
cuse to examine the back premises
Of residences. The police captured
a Mexican the other night carrying
sack full of towels, sheets, etc.
