uNEARTH SKELETON
IN CITY Street
Bones Of Unknown Man Dis.
covered by Street Workers.

wednesday, while the city team
was engaged in plowlng on Seventh
avenue south at the corner of St..
Paul street the plow struck a skele-
ton supposed to be of white man
which had been buried in a shallow
grave, how long since no one knows.
The plow broke the skull and bones
into several pieces. The skull, in
Guiding the lower jaw with all the
teeth intact, and several bones of the
arms and shoulders were gathered
up and brought to the city hall. Near
the skull was found cigar holder,
colored slightly red and showing
the burned effects at the end. The
other bones we're left where found.
How long the skeleton has been COW
cred with earth and what we're the
circumstances connected with the
death and the identity of the person
are matters for speculation. Perhaps
some of the old-timers of the city
might recall the burial If it was
known at the time or possibly it
might be the remains of some early
day resident or adventurer who met
his death by foul means.
Robert Marshall and John Nc
Quade, who were doing the city work
at the time, unearthed the skeleton.
The bones that were brought to the
city were given in charge of City
Weighmaster Geise, and were dis
covered about two feet below the
surface.
In the early days there was a
graveyard located at what is now
Seventh avenue south, but the ceme-
terry was used only q short time and
the bodies were removed to the old
Fort Seward burying grounds on the
bluff west of town. 1t is supposed
that all the bodies were then re-
moved, but the finding of the skele-
ton today indicates that such is not
the case. Afterwards the bodies of
.
civilians buried at Fort Seward were
again removed to Highland Home
cemetery and the bodies of the SOL
diers buried at Fort Seward were
sent to the national burying around
at the Custer battlefield in Montana.
The cigarholder is a peculiar shape
if such it was. 1t is open at both ends
about two inches long and looks as If
it might have been used by an In
dian as a pipe or a part of pipe.
The skeleton was standing erect in
stead of lying horizontal and the foot
bones were down to a depth of about
six feet, an unusual position in which
to bury the dead.
