REMAINS OF 18
PERSONS FOUND

Woodstock. Va. August 15.-while
excavating for an abutment for a
bridge which will connect the two
farms OF Fl. b. Chapman. on the north
fork of the Shenandoah River several
miles south Of Woodstock. workmen
uncovered the remains of eighteen
persons.
While seemingly an attempt was
made to keep the finding OF the re-
mains secret. 1t has become well
known.
How this number of people were
buried at this spot is n matter OF much
conjecture. but that they were soldiers
in the Civil War Is almost certain.
On which side they fought is not
known, and there ia no way that this
can be told.
Stories are rife that during the war a
band of Independents who fought In
conjunction with the Confederate Army
are responsible for the death of these
men. that they were taken prisoners.
and. though they were started TO
some Confederate prison, they never
reached that place. as It was much
easier to dispose of tho prisoners than
to take them to the prison.
Another theory is that number OF
Confederate soldiers were camping
near this spot. and that some of them
died and were buried near the river

Woman Drowned.
The body OF a colored woman was
found in the Appomattox River this
morning near Swami Island, opposite
Blandford, Some persons passing saw
the hands raised above the water and
they pulled the body ashore and no.
tilted the authorities. The body was
subsequently, identified as that of Kate
BROOKS Cooper. wife of Isaac Anderson
Cooper, residents OF Blandford. The
manner of the woman's death seems
somewhat of mystery. 1t is stated
that she was seen last night going in
the direction of the Norfolk and West
ern station. and that possibly she
might have gone on some excursion
and fallen from the boat. The hus-
band has not been at his place OF
work to-day, and has not been To-

body did not show any evidence of
