TOMB OF ANCIENT RACE
Skulls Found In Kansas Are De-
ciared to Be Unlike Those
Of Indians.

Junction City, Kan.-While tearing
down an old mound that lay In his
wheat field, John holland. who lives
several miles northwest of town, found
several skeletons in a fair state Of
preservation.
The mound, apparently, was Of nat
ural origin, and the Oldest settlers re-
membered 1t. They say that 1t look
ed like the work Of nature, and many
supposed that it was a grave. pile GOV.
cred with sod. No attention was aver
paid to the mound until several
months ago, when MI. holland decided
to level 1t and utilize the land for
wheat instead Of blowing around 1t.
as farmers have done for the past so
years.
The mound was about 30 feet in
diameter and about FIVE feet high. It
was covered with sod, with an occa-
sional rock %protruding. When MIR. No
land started to level it, he found that
about eight inches underneath the sod
was a rock wall. He kept digging the
dirt away, following the rocks, until
he had unearthed about half Of the
wall. Then he started at the top.
which was slightly concaye, and gave
evidences of once having been arched
over. Digging down in the center, he
came upon many well preserved skulls
and bones, in piles at different places
within the artificial cave.
People who have examined the skulls
say that they do not resemble Indian
skulls, and the absence Of Indian
weapons and utensils world seem to
indicate that bones were not those Of
indians.
