Cox OF the firm is now In the city and last
evening he secured q lease ca the Mar
ket street building. He secured the un-
expired term OF the Goldstandt-Pow
company from the first OF next September
until the first Of January. and a lease Of
J. r. Meade for three years from the
first of next January.
Mr.. Upton Cox is a practical business
man, who has unbounded faith in the
future OF Wichita. His firm is now
ready to launch their wholesale house
here and Mr.. Cox did his best to secure q
large building, but failed. The best or
fered was the Market street building,
which is three stories with basement. Mr.
Cox said he could do no better than wait
until September J.
The new house win be opened with a
$4,000 stock OF goods, which win be in
creased when trade is established. Mr.
Cox told a reporter for the Eagle last
night that they would have a number Of
travelling statesmen on the road and that
they would bring a number Of families
here. He said he was disappointed in not
being able to get a house at once, but
after looking over the city ne determ-
ined to walt until September TO open
their wholesale house. After all he
thought there would be one advantage in
waiting until September. Their people
would have TO secure residences IN the
city ana this arrangement would give
them time to do It.

Wichita IS lucky in securing this new

house. The Observation-Disclosures people /

HUMAN BONES
FOUND IN PARK
Workmen Unearth Them in

BURIED MANY YEARS AGO
Slight Mound Marked Place
of Interment.
BURIED MANY YEARS AGO

While excavating for the lily pond IN
Riverside park yesterday afternoon.
workmen unearthed pieces Of human
skeleton. which had evidently been in
TERED thirty years ago. The flesh was
entirely gone and the bones had become
separated from each other IN relating
the incident Csss Woods. the park police
man. said;
Il was standing on the high ground
watching the workmen in the excavation
below, when Sam Bolts, one of the work
men, called me. and holding in his hands
a large bone said: See what we have
found
4 told the men TO search for more
pieces and they unearthed four arm
bones, thigh bone. a hip bone. the lower
part of the spinal column. four ribs, a
piece OF the collar bone. piece Of the
skull and what appears to be part Of
the brain. There were also several bones
which I could not place, thought best
not to unearth any more of the skeleton
as TO do so would loosen the soil which
We are trying to harden so We can cover
it with cement.
Before the excavation began there was
a slight mound at the spot where we
found the skeleton. The body was buried
about two feet below the surface. Near
the mound was willow tree, which was
cut loose from its roots four or five days
ago. one of the roots Of the tree had
grown through an opening in one Of the
bones, showing that the body had decayed
before the tree had reached its growth.
This is another evidence that the body
had been buried for a great many years.
The lily pond is being made in that por-
ton Of North Riverside park, where
brickyard was located twenty-five years
ago. The bones were found in the north
part OF the lily pond excavation.
All are at a loss to account for the dis
covery Of the skeleton. as none has any
knowledge of anyone being buried there.
How the skeleton came there and who
the person was are mysteries which viii
probably never be solved.
