The lava caves, 40 miles west of
Idaho Falls in the desert, which were
discovered several weeks ago by two
sheepherders, and number of bones
and skulls found, were explored thor
oughly Tuesday by party of seven,
who made the trip in automobiles, be-
ing able to drive within few miles
of the lava beds. The party was
equipped with lights and made a
thorough search of the cave, finding
number of skeletons and bones. pieces
of bows, arrows, flints and spearheads
A number of the skulls and bones
show evidence of fire. Parts of IA
skeletons were broughts out. The
absence of any metal is evidence that
the bones are not those of white men,
though the absence of beads would
lead to that conclusion. Several Of
the skulls are Of great size, Win well
preserved, though badly worn teeth,
while several are evidently those OF
women and children.
