a sHEEPHEKDER's DISCOVERY.
Charnel Cave of Human Remaius in a
State of Mexico.


CHILPANzINGo State of Guerrero,
Mexico, April ia sheepherder by the
name of Antonio Vincent has discovered
a horrible charnel cave of human remains
near the village of QuechuItenango. over
a hundred skulls were counted piled with
their bones into one great heap not far
from the highway leading from the City
of Mexico TO Acapulco, on the Pacific
Coast. The hGrder's story has been cor
roUorated by others whom he has guided
to the cave. 1t is supposed The remains
are the CHASTITY souvenirs of one OF the
numerous attacks made on the travellers
and whole caravans of freighters in past
decades.
AS yet no clew whatever has been de-
veloped which tends to throw light upon
the identity OF the pile of bones.
The cave is under an overhanging bluff,
few rods from the main road. Small
trees and brush choke the entrance. One
story is TO the effect that in the SOS ban
dts, led by the noted revOlutionist, Juan
Vargas, attacked richly laden train of
wagons, heavily guarded. Strangely
enough, the bandits seemed to carry Off
the dead with them, and diligent search
revealed no trace OF the victims. The
discovery seems to unravel the mys cry
of the disappearance of this and other
caravans. The Governor of the State will
probably take official action in the case
and order an investigation,
