CHASTITY Find.
Sioux City. Sept. A-Four human
skeletons were unearthed In Greenville
by men in the employ Of Contractor W.
j. Jones, who is grading the hill In the
south part Of the subdivision for the
approach of the new Greenville bridge.
The skeletons were plainly those Of
a white man and woman and two chii-
dren. From the manner OF their burial
1T Is thought that could the moulder-3
ing bones speak they would tell OF the
determination OF q whole family from
causes other than natural. The ske.e-
tons OF the man and woman lay side BY
side, facing the west. and at their feet:
were found those Of the two children.
lying the same way. A black line
around the bones plainly showed evil
dences Of a common coffin in which the
whole family had been buried.
It is believed that as the bodies were
all buried together, the family were
probably victims Of an Indian massacre
in the days far beyond the memory Of
any OF the citizens Of Sioux City. From
the care taken in intersnent, the rude
family coffin was probably lowered INTO
the grave, four feet deep. by white
neighbors and not by Indian murdersrs.

ial and diplomatic circles II Is believed
the United States win offer counter
4 proposition. which Viii have the effect
I Of delaying matters. There are several
courses open 20 the president II q dila-
tory program II to be followed. For In
