A skull Dug Up in a Sewer Connection
in the Rear of II Business Block.
Saturday last the city engineer was
inspecting the digging up of a sewer
connection between Egloff's jewelry store
and the lateral in the alleyway, when
n of the workmen called his attention
to a very vile stencil arising from a GER
tain part of the ditch. Mr.. Swearinger
thought it arose from the sewage, but
the workman insisted that it came from
some decayed animal matter, and a little
later he threw out of the ditch an old
red flannel shirt and some shreds of
cloth of some kind, but thought little
more about it till one of the clerks in Ed.
Shiras' store came to him bringing a part
of a human skull that he found his dogs
playing with ami said he thought they
must have found it among the dirt
thrown out of the ditch. Afterwards the
other portion of the skull was found in
the ditch. 1t appears to be the skull
Of a white person. probably a woman, &C.
cording to the judgment of a physician,
who might be it about 1s or 20 years of
age. The wisdom teeth being only part.
ly grown is the reason this age was fixed
on.
The city engineer has been making in
quiries with a view to discovering any
theory as to how the CHASTITY relics came
to be found in the sewer ditch at a
depth of nearly 10 feet. He finds that
the ditch was originally dug in May,
1891, and at that time an old clubhouse
stood near the place where the skull
was found close to the ditch, and
in the real Of what was then
known as McNab's saloon. After the
original sewer pipe was LAID the vault
of this clubhouse caved in and the sewer
was filed up, burying the matter that
came from the clubhouse. 1t is supposed
that the skull came from this clubhouse,
which has since been taken away and
the vault filed up.
DR.. Weitman formerly had an Office
near this place and it was thought the
skull might have come from his office,
but he informed the reporter on being
interviewed in regard to the matter that
this was not the case.
Some think that the rest of the skele-
ton might be found by excavating where
| the old clubhouse stood. The matter &C.
casioned a good deal OF talk yesterday on
the street, but it is probable that no ex
PLANTATION of the mystery Of the skull
| will aver be Forthcoming.
