DISCOVER SKELETONS

LOS ANGELES, CAL. May 9.-In
digging a cellar on a ranch about eight
miles west of this city this week a
curious discovery was made. Two skel-
etons were uncovered the positions of
which, taken in conjunction with the
articles found with them, are sugges-
tive of an old-time duel of an unusual
nature.
The heads of the skeletons were
near together, with arms outstretched
as though they had fallen forward
while engaged in the sword battle. Two
rusty blades were found, the hits still
clutched in the bony fingers of the
skeleton.
The bones were about Is inches be-
meath the surface and had evidently
been covered by nature rather than
man, for the place is where the ma
turel wash of a considerable area of
ground would pass. 1t is believed that
the bones are those of two of the old
Spanish residents of this section of the
country, who unbeknown to Others.

succumbed to their wounds and neither
was able to triumph over his foe.

WHO IS THE !
REAL OFFENDER

The case of young Renwick Mccain
mon, the boy arrested on Friday
charged with numerous thefts, prom
ises to develop some sensational tes-
timony during its trial According to
the confession of young McGammon
he was virtually forced into the thefts
on account of the fear in which he
held one Hans Johansen, second
hand dealer to whom he sold about $500
worth of harness, jewelry and other
goods.
"He forced me to continue the thefts
under the fear of arrest" said the boy
in his confession made on Saturday to
Captain Coverly and Desk Sergeant
Walker.

He is known as a miser-hoarding up

BAD BOYS STEAL

Small boys have for the past few
Sundays been raising havoc with the
property of the Spokane Falls Pickle
works, corner Sheridan street and
Front avenue. Some time during last
night thieves entered the place and
carried off sacks and jugs of consider
able value. The proprietors suspect
the boys who infest the neighborhood
on Sundays. None of the picked
goods were molested-too sour per-
haps-but the boys stole the jugs and
sacks promiscuously. The police are
searching the second hand stores in
the hope of locating the junk.
