SKELETONS FOUND IN
A SMUGGLERS' CAVE
Excavators Discover Tunnel
Leading to Secret Cavern

An amazing discovery was made at
Gronpton near Annapolis Royal, n. ),
which has revived a score OF halr Tor
gotten traditions concerning smugglers
and pirates said to have aOurished In
that neighborhood a century and more
ago. Excavation for a cellar was in
progress when the picks and shovels
of the workmen uncovered an opening
in a stone wall. The opening led in the
direction of the shore of Annapolis
basin, a large inlet from the historic
Bay of Fundy, says the New York
Times. After considerable difficulty the
men cleared the entrance of debris and
found a tunnel some u feet wide and
s feet high The tunnel had the appear
ance of having been dug a great while
ago, its age being shown by the condi-
tion of the stone walls which line it
throughout.
After walking through the tunnel
more than 200 yards the workmen came
to large door built of heavy oak and
fitted into an opening which had been
cut out of the solid rock The tunnel
and cavern in the cliff evidently had
been used by the cOntraband traders
who have left behind the traditional
reputation Of having carried on the
most active industry OF the GrOmptOn
of a century ago.
Within the oaken door several iron
pots were found and iron hoops which
apparently had bound hOgsheads long
since crumbled to dust In addition,
several old firearms were discovered,
among them a large and heavy sword
bearing the date 1898.
A more startling discovery, however.
awaited the investigators when they
had removed the oaken door and
stepped out into the little sheltered
nook in the face Of the cliff. Reposing
in a corner were the remains of the
skeletons of three men. In all prob
ability they were the mute reminders
of some tragedy OF the old smuggling
days. A few gold pieces of Spanish
currency were found near the skeletons.
The bones were gathered up and
buried in the Grompton churchyard.
The effect of the discovery was in
stant and remarkable. Nearly every
man in Grompton abandoned his regu-
lar work and began to digging for gold.
A score of old yarns about buried treas
ure have been remembered by all the
old men in the vicinity, and the ground
is being torn up at a lively rate

CROMWELL'S BURIAL
PLACE is UNKNOWN
Two Churchyards Claim to Con-
tain His Bones

Does marlborough church, near Pc
terborough, contain CromwelTs bones?
The only positive evidence TO that ef-
feet Is that of the nurse who saw the
hearse containing them driven by night
through Huntingdon, not stopping
there, as she hoped and expected. but
taken further north. and also that of
the postbOy. who said he was paid the
mileage fee to Marlborough, says the
London Globe.
There is no indication of them hav-
ing gone so far north as Newbury alb
bey, although a stone in the passage
there says: Under this stone rest the
bones of oliver Cromwell etc. and
the facts of Cromweli's widow going TO
live there and being herself buried
there are in favor of the persistent ira
dition in the parish that CromwelAwas
secretly buried there and another BODY

fruit GROWERS
GETTING READY

When orchardistS and business
men unite against Jack Frost that un-
welcome visitor will have TO Ego
some" to get ahead Of them. A def
mite line of campaign is being ar
ranged to combat at every point Of
danger any possible frosts. 1t is
the purpose of the business men to ar
range for receiving all frost forecasts
and then have them spread to every
orchardist who is prepared to fight the
frost. More than this the townspeople
will personally join with the farmers
in the fight.
AT a meeting of the publics affairs
committee last Saturday Weather OBJ
server Allen informed the committee
that the weather station at Portland
would furnish this place with frost
forecasts if responsible citizen would
be named to receive them and have
them transmitted to the growers. The
committee designated NJ. F. Albert to
receive the reports. He will transfer
them to the telephone centrals, who
will notify all the growers prepared
to combat the frost.
These frost warnings will be sent
aut from six to eight hours before a
frost. In addition to receiving the
warnings from the Portland station.
the committee decided to purchase
two government thermometers to be
installed here in a convenient place
for the night marshal to make hourly
readings during the danger period.
A committee was appointed to make
a canvass among the business men and
citizens to get the names of those who
will aid the orchardists at critical
times. To carry out this plan Gener.
