OLD SKELETON
IS UNEARTHED
Human Remains Dug Up by Road
builders on Bishop
McRae's Farm.
BONES THOSE OF AN INDIAN
Indications Point TO Immense Size OF
Deceased AborigInc--Dead Prob
ably Fifty Years.

County road employees working near
South ond Jordan river this morning
unearthed q human skeleton. As soon
as the news spread there was a wild
scramble to see who should be first
TO get a look at the bones. When
Deputy Sheriffs Joe Sharp and Andy
Smith arrived on the scene they we're
confronted with a crowd numbering
nearly 100 persons. All were curious
and many stories We're told of persons
who were missing 20 or 80 years ago,
and who had never been heard from
since There We're offers to lay wagers
that the skeleton was the bones OF
no less than is different persons. The
outcome of the betting was in doubt
when the deputies left the place with
the bones in a gunny sack.
REMAINS OF INDIAN.
In the sheriff's office the bag was
opened and the bones spread ON a
newspaper. An examination of the
skull revealed the sloping forehead,
high crown and cheek bones character
lstic Of an Indian. Further examine
ton disclosed an almost perfect set of
teeth. Their general form showed
plainly that the bones were those
which once supported a. copper colorcd
aborigine probably so years ago or
more. The locality is known to have
been m old Indian camping and burial
ground. for many relics have been
found in the neighborhood
OF VAST STATURE.
The sheriffs force and others who
have viewed the bones declare that
they were once the frame work of an
Indian of great height. The teeth are
peculiar, they are sharp and the set is
complete. The enamel is almost worn
away, but every one is in place.

HOWARD CORAY
GONE TO REST
Pioneer and Veteran Church
Worker Passed from Nor
tally Last Night.

Howard Coray. the pioneer who pass
ed away at 10 oc dick last evening, was
a notable character in the history OF
the Church. Mr. Coray was born at
Dansville. in Steuben county, N. ", on
May &, 1917. He was therefore 81 years
of age at the time OF his death.
When he was quite young his father
moved into Pennsylvania. locating and
acquiring title to 1850 acres, or one
third of the township now occupied by
the city of Scranton. The family some
years later moved into Illinois, where
the deceased met the Prophet Joseph
Smith He was In his nature deeply re-
ligious and the teaching and personali-
ty of the prophet so impressed him
that he promptly associated himself
with the Church. His education and ex-a
perience had especially fitted him for
clerical service and at the prophets
invitation he became his private secre-
tary. living in the family until his mar
riage several years later to Martha j.
Knowlton.
The close association with the
prophet led to an enthusiastic devotion
TO his leader, which induced him to
make whatever sacrifices we're neces-
sary in order to be with the people of
his adoption. His father died In 1871,
and in 1S43 Howard taught school in
| a ,
living in Utah.
| STARTS WESTWARD.
After experiencing a part of the dis
tress which fell upon the saints at
Nauvoo, with his wife and two little
children, he started on the great Jour-
ney west, moving leisurely and With
out incident as far as Fort Kearney
where he and his devoted wife re-
cuperated their fortunes somewhat by
keeping a clearinghouse for the Of
f., ficers of tho fort. In due time he ar
rived In Salt Lake City. Mr. Coray
was well known For a time he was
dent Young. He was clerk OF the
first territorial legislature. He served
one mission before leaving Nauvoo and
another after coming to this valley
He was member OF the first dramatic
organization In Utah. and was one o.
the 10 patriarchs appointed not many
| years ago by President Woodruff.
CHOICE MEMORY.
One of the choice memories of his life
was the fact that In scuffle with the
| prophet the latter had been the means
of breaking his leg and had personally
served him during the ordeal of re-
covery as both surgeon and nurse. Sc
thoroughly did his belief in tho divine
calling of Joseph Smith Impress How
ard Corey that the idea al but alb
sorbed his time and thoughts. He
was go familiar with the Scriptures
usually quoted by the prophet that he
quoted them extensively by memory
with fuency and accuracy.
BURIAL AT PROVO.
The deceased Is survived by six sons
and three daughters. The body will
