to the bedside of his step father,

Something of a sensation was
caused here Saturday (July 1S)
by the discovery of human bones
in a bay near Rosemary by
party out hunting. The bones
were those of a man and the

that the dead man was a
negro in the employ of the A CL

some time ago. 1t is believed
that the negro was murdered,as
we learn that there was a hole
of considerable size in the back
of the skull. The body was
