SKELETON ExHUMED.
Last week, on the Kula ranch of
Deputy Sheriff Edgar Morton, while
digging up some land for potato
patch, a skeleton was unearthed.
From hole discovered on one side of
the skull it is judged that the man
must have died from violence-killed
probably by a spear wound many
years ago-or perhaps murdered by a
blow from some sharp instrument
and hastily buried for there was no
trace of any coffin and the skeleton
was punched together, the hands and ,
knees pressed close to the breast. The
identity of the victim will forever re-
main mystery.
