A correspondent Of the Jacksonville Times
Union at BrOoksville says: Tuesday even
ing James l.. EfDusttra came into town and
related a remarkable find. About day-break
the barking Of his dogs awakened him. and.
from the amount Of disturbance they were
making he concluded that a fox was in his
sheep-fold. He jumped up. grabbed his gun
and mounted his old reliable Grover, and fol-
lowed in the wake OF the dogs soon getting
on the trail of the fox. The fox led them on,
and when about two miles from home the
dogs stopped at the mouth Of a cave. Mr..
Eibusttra got down, went into the cave but
could see nothing. Striking match, he found
O small hole about five inches in diameter in
the southwest corner Of the cave. Having
nothing with him to dig with, and
not knowing what he might run onto,
slngie-handed. he went home. After break
fast he took his wagons, his boys, some tools,
his dnrkey, Scrub shotgun and rifles and
lamp, and drove back TO the cave. After
reaching there they dug and shoveled for an
| hour, and finally made an opening large
enough to crawl through Upon passing the
partition they were IN another small cave,
something larger than the first; then an open
ing as large as an ordinary door leading
through about ten feet OF tunneling they
came into a large cave. Here they were
amazed and horror stricken: the darkey took
TO his heels, and did not stop until he reached
nome. In one corner OF the cave were a
number OF skeletons, and a number of
| beautiful stalacttes above as If sol
| EMMY Q pointing TO the dead beneath,
| WIN we're thrown in a promiscuous pile,
| and appeared to be white men, probably
| Spaniards. on the other side we're sitting up
/ in row, as II keeping watch over the pile OF
untOrtunates IN the corner nine forms which
| from the Indian implements by their sides,
| were at once concluded to be Indians Indian
/ chiefs OF ygone days. Everything in the
cave OF o once organic nature, was petrihed
seemingly by marble, some OF the bodies be-
| ing in perfect state Of preservation, while
on others there appeared to have sloughed of
| large fakes OF skin and flesh before the
! chemical process Of petrihcatiOn had time to
! get in It's work. Some OF the men in the pile
/ showed plainly that they were scalped There
were many evidences of the violence of their
| taking of, one OF the skulls being completely
| oaved in.
! 4 black bear was killed a short distance
! from the post ONCE at Geneva Sunday. Miss
| Laura Shipman was just leaving her home
/ Togo to sunday school when she discovered

| returned and made known her discovery TO

The dogs we're in hot pursuit, and as bear ant
dogs passed AL Geiger place, he got his gun
and followed. The dogs soon overlook Thu
