Manti. Utah. Aug. 23.-The skele-
ton of man, supposed dead some
25 years, was discovered by ranch
man living at Crystal Springs, Utah.
u few days ago when he and his sons
were climbing a mountain near that
town.
For many days past the streams
had been swollen and had carried
small pieces OF coal down the gulch
and onto the property owned by w.
d. Livingston. They started out to
find the source of the bits of carbon
with hopes OF finding the mother
vein of coal. They had walked less
than mile when they came to n
place known as Sleepy Hollow. so
christened by the Livingston boys
because of Its resemblance to n pen
description in rip Van Wrinkle"
having rather weird, uncanny ap-
pearance and being the home chiefly
OF owls.
AT this place the mountain is very
rugged, and Livingston was making
his way up when he cast his eyes
narrow and deep fissure in the
rocks.
After notifying his friends of his
lind, several went TO digging and
uncovered many of the larger bones
of the skeleton. About these bones
were many pieces of what had at
one time been burlap and canvas,
with piece or two OF strap-a broad
hint that the body had been wrapped
in horse blanket or other covering
when deposited in the crevice.
IL is believed. from appearances
that this body had lain there about
ten or fifteen years, covered with
leaves, debris and flat stone. The
constant flowing of water over this
place during the many recent rains
had uncovered the skull. soon to be
