What was thought by Deputy Sheriff
Painter and Deputy Blakely OF Pendle-
ton to be a murder mystery was the
finding of two human skeletons en-
cased in a gunny sack and made known
Friday.
Rumors were at once circulated that
some terrible double tragedy had been
enacted.
Investigation proved the skeletons to
have been found some time ago and
one OF them was probably the remains
of an Indian.
The skeletons were found IN the ioIt
of a house on the Overturf place near
Milton. For some time the place mao
been deserted. When the present oc-
cupant took possession of the house ne

Road to Complete Victory

WASHINGTON, March 25.-With
the capture of Choluteca by Zetaya's
forces on the march to Tegeigarpa, the
Honduras capital is easier reached.
Most of Zelaya's success is due to
the assistance of Honduran revolution
lists who are in organized bands in a
fight to overthrow BOtilla.
1t is not believed Zelaya will include
a demand for territorial concessions in
imposing terms.
Efforts of the United States and

of the proceedings, being only an amateur
criminal, he seems to have lost his nerve en-
tirely, and to have been able to think of nothing
better to do then to await the inevitable dis
covery.
On the day before the inspector was due to
arrive, he made a last raid on the stack of gold
bricks, and, taking about one hundred thou
sand dollars worth of them, proceeded to hide
them in the ventilator shaft above the ceiling
of the vault His reason for this extraordinary
move seems never to have been satisfactorily
explained. 1t may be that he had in mind a
notion that he might obtain pardon by max.
ing conditional offer to reveal the hiding
place of this great amount of treasure. If So,
he did not carry out the plan, but weakened
and confessed everything His private melting

detectives. but the twenty-eight thousand
dollars which had been converted into money
