tons Are Well Preserved.
Special to Times Republican.

Clinton, Oct. 12.-Workmen digging
gravel in the gravel pit on the John
Coffey farm near Coleta, Saturday at
ternoon dug up the skeleton of Spanish
soldiers and Indians, who, it is said.
engaged in a desperate battle there
over 100 years ago when this country
was a wilderness.
The discovery of the skeletons was
made by Ben Knox, who was hauling
out the gravel. The bones We're gath
cred up and brought to town, where
an examination was made by compe-
tent physicians, after which they were
taken over by Highway Commissioner
Halls, who has them in charge.
Spaniards were found about three feet
under the ground with the arms in
terlocked. showing the dreadful con
iiict which had taken place with mo
quarter" asked by either side.
Armor and implements of war were
also unearthed by the workmen and
this proves c%onclusively that the COT
fey farm was the scene of one of the
most desperate battles which took
place between the discoveries of the
continent and the redskins which in
habited it.
Tradition has it that more than 100
years ago a party of Spanish soldiers
camped ear the spot that is now the
Coffey gravel pit. They were sur
rounded by the sayages and a desper-
ate three days battle ensued in which
the Indians were victorious, altho los
ing a number of their braves.
Soldiers and savages were left alike
on the field of battle entwined In each
others arms as they fell on the field
OF conflict.
An Indian hunting knife of flint was
found buried in the breast of one of
the Spanish pikemen, who. altho they
fought valiantly, were overwhelmed by
numbers and finally stricken down.
Much interest has been taken in the
discovery Of the skeletons M a num-
Der of antihuarians have examined the
skeletons taken from the hole.
All the skeletons were in an excel
lent state of preservation.

BURLINGTON MUST BE GOOD.
State Moves for Enforcement Of MuIct
Law.

Burlington, oct4 12.-George Cos
sons, Of Des Moines, assistant attorney
general Of Iowa, appeared here before
Judge, Smythe, of the district court. to
ascertain when the court could hear
an application for a temporary injunc-
ton against all s-aloonkeepers in this
city who have failed to observe the
provisions of the mulct law. The hear
ing will be set tor sometime next
week, probably Saturday. There is
little question that the temporary in
junction will be granted, as there is
no question of the violation of the law.
At the next term of court the tempor-
airy injunction will be asked to be made
permanent, and if this is done and
there is no doubt that it will, 1T will
mean that the proprietors of about
twenty saloons in Burlington will be
permanently enjoined from conducting
a liquor business at any point within
the judicial district and the buildings
in which the offending saloons have
been conducted will be closed to rental
for one year from date of the decree.

both legs terribly hurt. One was
broken in two places, and the other
broken in one, with the knee crushed

wounds dressed, and a nurse procured

us WRATH OF GOD"
Rainsbarsers, Who Are Seeking Par
dons, Point Out the Misfortunes
Which Have overtaken Their Ac-
cusers.

Des Moines. Oct. 12.-Frank and
Nathan Rainsbarger, who are seeking
the murder of Enoc Johnson in Har-
din county in 1866, told the members
of the board of paroles at Anamosa
last week that the wrath of God is
following the men who placed them in
prison.
The two R~ainsbargers appeared be-
fore the board of parole in the
prison, and for a half day explained
their case. They stoutly maintained
their innocence of the murder of Enoc
Johnson. They told the board MEM
bers that Johnson was murdered by a
member of the vigilance committee
who had been after" the Rainsbarg-
ers. They mentioned his name and
explained to the board that he is dead.
They mentioned another of their pros
ecutors who has lost his fortune and
is now wandering about the country a
pauper. They spoke of an official who
died shortly after their imprisonment.
They say it is the wrath of God.
When asked IL liberated if they
would hold any malice against the
people who were instrumental in Sc
curing their incarceration, they said
they would not. They have been in
prison twenty-five years. Frank is now
SO years old and Nathan is SO. The
hair on the heads of both men is snow
white. When asked how they have
managed to live so long in the peni-
tertiary they said because they had no
worry of conscience, n had taught
themselves to be contented. They
hope to secure freedom. They told the
board their story of their whereabouts
on the night OF the murder. But the
men they went to see We're not at
home, and could not prove a satisfac-
tory alibi on their trial, they said.
The board will hand down no de-
cision until week after next. This
week the board will visit Fort Madison.
where applicants for parole will he ex-
amined.
