on the fence OF course, as to Swan

SKELETONS UNEARTHED.
Believed To Be Those Of Murdered
Tennessee Traders.

Eight skeletons were unearthed
by L, & N. laborers employed in
building a switch near Guthrie last
Thursday. Medical men summoned
were of the opinion that the skele-
tons were the remains of men who
had been buried probably 30 or 40
years. -Four of the skulls were
crushed in as though having been
dealt blows with some heavy instru-
ment. The other four had holes in
different portions of the skulls, as
though a large caliber bullet had
been fired at close range. Many
years ago, near where the skeletons
were found. stood an inn, and
traders from Nashville and other
Southern points would spend a
night there, when on their way to
st. Louis to dispose Of stock. In
1852 a company of traders, eight in
number, left Nashville for st. Louis
with large drove Of cattle. They
disposed of their stock, and a few
days later started upon their re-
turn trip home. Nothing more was
ever heard of them, although they
were traced to that section, and
the skeletons discovered Thursday
are believed to be those of the long
lost men.

ELIMINATE SILVER.
Such Scheme Said to be on Foot
Among Eastern Democrats.

st, Louis, MaIoh 16.-Ex-Gov.
VIM j. Stone. Democratic National
Committeeman from Missouri, said
to-day he believed there was some
truth in the statement that there is
a movement among Eastern Demo
Gratis to elect Tom L. johnson, Of
Ohio, Chairman Of the National
Committee and eliminate silver from
the platform. Gov Stone said:
"From information that came to
me at Washington and since /
gather that the end which the
Palmer and Buckner Democrats
are trying to attain is the capture
of the organization of the party.
Their scheme seems to be toget into
the convention as delegates, and
with as little noise as possible, but
by means of adroit manipulation
control as many delegates as possi-
bic with the ultimate object of cou-
trolling the convention and captur-
ing The national committee. They
will be for Bryan, but they want
the organization.
Speaking for myself, while I am
very glad to see the Palmer and
Buokner Democrats, who deserted
the party in 1896, come back to it,
1 don't believe in offering premium
for their return, If they come back
they should come with no hope Of
reward, but as plain Democrats. "
