ing.

BUTTE, Neb.. April 25.-(specisl Tele-
gram.)-The mystery surrounding the sud
den disappearance Of old man Hill and his
son Charles. in 1898. was undoubtedly solved
yesterday so far as the latter is concerned,
when Charles Daily plowed up a skeleton
on his farm which was located on the south
bank Of the Niobrara river in Holt county.
The remains had been buried face down,
evidently in a big hurry and were identified
by people who had known him in life.
It has always been pretty we'll under
stood that the Holt county ~vigilantes made
away with the Hills, but UP till now no
trace Of them was ever discovered and IL
was the general superstition that the Wig
ilantes hung them first and then sunk their
bodies In the ~quicksand of the Niobrara-
The incident recalls the fact that the
principal actors in the Barrett Scott tragedy,
which happened a few miles from where
the remains of Charles Hill we're found,
have nearly to q man left this country.
