 The skeleton of an unknown man was uncovered by the recent heavy rains near the spring of Judge Adams about 12 miles southwest ok Yellville. The skeleton has the appearance of having been buried there for about 20 years, and was discovered by Judge Adams after the heavy rains had washed the earth away and left 1t exposed to view. It is thought that it is the skeleton of a man by the name of Watkins, who was killed by Andy Hudspeth about 20 years ago. Hudspeth and Watkins had been to Yellville and left town together and Watkins was never seen any more and Hudspeth was indicted for the murder of Watkins, and after long and tedious trial he was convicted and hanged, but the body of Watkins was never found. It was thought that Hudspeth had murdered him and hid, den the body at some secluded place.
