years standing-the remains of four
human beings having been discovered
in an abandoned coal mine mile east
of here. David Snyder has explored
the old mine, which has not been
worked since the COS, and discovered
the human bones. One of the skele-
tons was sitting upright against a
ledge. Beside this skeleton was found
flask containing a note that ex-
planned the mysterious disappearance
of John Ewing. Ben Ayres, Tom Ack-
elson and Joe Obney thirty-two years
ago. The note was written in pencil,
but well preserved. 1t read as fol-
lows:

known that we giving names) are
prisoners here owing to the cavlng in
