May Be the Bones
 of Aztec Indian Chief

The Phoenix Democrat thinks that the bones uncovered while . trench was being dug for water mains at Phoeni< are those of an Aztec chief with whom was buried secrets of a race that has given the scientists many days of of studious research.
 That the section in which the .keIe- ton was found was centuries ago an Aztec burial ground has long been known to Phoenix people, and ire quently skeletons hove been uncover ed which to all appearances are those of the lost race.
 The magnificent proportions of the man. the sitting position in which the bones were found and the locality all tend to support the theors that he was once a mighty Aztec chief, who helped rule a mighty race of people that has since disappeared from the face of the earth.
 That the man was a chief or some enc of importance among the Aztezs is indicated by the finding oi his skele. ton. Had he been one of the com mon people his body would have been burned according to the custom uf the tribe and his bjnes placed with his aches in 6 funeral urn.
