A human skeleton was found a few
days ago on the farm of Ben Willis
near Gresham, York county, and AS
there was nothing to identify the re-

the general impression is that some
tribe of Indians buried one of their

the grave being ON the side Of a hill,
the rains washed the dirt down so that

and brought them to the surface. The

visited the grounds to inaugurate the

Of cattle since the time, some eight
years ago, when IL was found neces-

the grounds at Lincoln. The show of
horses is also going 70 be better than
