A skeleton, apparently that of an
Indian. was found on the Vermont
shore of the Connecticut river yester'
dav al the point where the dam is be-
ing constructed across the river south
of Brattleboro. Workmen were dig
cling hole for anchoring a guyrope
of derrick when they unearthed the
bones. Brattleboro people who have
visited the scene of operations at the
dam will locate the spot where the
skeleton was found when II is said
that il was between the camp and the
spring. A skeleton supposed TO be that
OF an Indian was found last autumn
on the New Hampshire side of the
river. Other skeletons have been
found in that locality, which gives rise
to the belief that the Indians once had
burial ground there.
