WEST POINT, N. Y, Jan. 24.-Bones by
the hundred have been unearthed right
under the officers clubrOom. They
are all human bones in good
condition, but nobody knows when
they were placed on how they got there.
1t might have been half q century
ago, but the probabilities are, judging from
The stories told by old residents. that they
are the bones of soldiers killed in the Revo-
lutionary war. 1t is known that spies and
Tories hanged on the plains were buried by
tue patriots where the mess hall now
stands. What disposition ~ill be made of
them has not yet been announced, but it is
likely they will be buried in the cemetery.
Coroner Miller, of Highland Falls got an
inkling of the find. but as coroners are
allowed in West Point only by permission

holding an inquest IT is clearly evident
there was no foul play in connection with
