easily Find of Boys Playing on the
Bank of the Ohio.

Special 10 the IndlanapOIIs Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, March IL
While playing the falls this morning
number of boys found what appeared to be
an upturned fatboat, but on investigation
they saw it was box heavily coated with
tar. The box was seven feet long, two and
one-half feet wide and two and one-half
feet deep. They tore off the top and discov-
cred the skeleton of man. The skull was
indented as if struck by blunt instrument
The boys ran away and notified the officers.
From the appearance of the skeleton it had
been in the box some time. The coating of
tar on the box had rusty appearance. The
spot where the box was found was in
clump of trees known as the Willows"
and 1t was partially hidden in the shore
mud. From all appearances there is little
doubt it is a case of murder. 1t is the slxele-
