BURKE FAMILY GO
T0HASTINGSFARM

The Times-Record enjoyed a social
call Thursday morning from Judge E.
T. Burke. The judge with his family
was en- route to his farm near Hast
ings and the trip was being made by
auto. He stated that one of his rea-
sons for calling was to see how we
were standing the strain of rejuvenat-
ing this rag of freedom. The verdict
was that we don't look much tougher
than when during the nineties jour-
neys were made to Fingal and other
Barnes county towns on a baseball
mission under Captain Burke. The
honor of being on the bench of the
supreme court ought to give a man a
title, but we call him ED" and we
imagine he would be considerably fus-
sed if it were otherwise. This trait of
making and holding friends is quite an
asset in a political campaign, and two
years hence when the judge is up for
reelection our opinion is that his
strength in that direction will not be
one whit diminished.

The phenomenon made it's appear

DIG UP SKELETON
FROM CITY STREET

jamestown, Aug. 4-This afternoon
while the city team was engaged In
blowing on Seventh avenue south at
the corner of st. Paul street the plow
struck skeleton supposed to be of
a 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, including the lower jaw with
all the teeth intact, and several bones
of the arms and shoulders were gath
cred up and brought to the city hall.
Near the skull was found cigar hold
er, colored slightly red and showing
the burned effects at the end. The
other bones were left where found.
How long the skeleton has been COW
cred with earth and what were 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 1t
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. y
In the early days there was a
graveyard located at what is now
Seventh avenue south, but the ceme-
terry was used only 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 ground
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 part of a pipe.
The skeleton was standing erect in
stead of lying horizontal and the foot
bones were down to depth of about
six feet, an unusual position in which
to bury the dead.
