INDIAN SKELETONS
FOUND IN GREENFIELD
Prof Wilder of Smith College of the
Opinion That the Bones Are
800 Years Old

GREENFIELD, Mass, Dee. l. = In
dian skeletons were unearthed here
Wednesday by Prof. H. H. Wilder, head
of the zoology department of Smith
college, and Ralph H. Whipple, assist
ant professor of geology at Amherst
college. The skeletons were found near
the car barns of the street car company
on a raised knoll near a loop of the
Green and Deerfeld rivers.
The skeletons were found lying on
their right sides with arms and legs
folded back and facing toward the east.
No utensils of any kind were found
with them The dirt was dug awav
| from the body in the shape of a square,
which was then boxed and a bottom
driven under it and a top nailed down.
In this way the entire skeleton and its
| bed of dirt undisturbed was transferred
to Amherst college for the purpose of
studying the burial methods of the In
| dams.
Prof. Wilder stated that the bones
were probably 800 years old. He also
said that the arms and legs are folded
back SO far they must have been tied
AS they faced slightly more northeast
than east, he stated that they were
buried in the springtime, as then the
sun rose farther north. The spot was q
natural burying ground, being slightly
raised, with good drainage and near the
loop of the river. Other skeletons are
expected to be unearthed later.

 The sheriff had received warning of the coming of the Verona with the Industrial Workers prior to the time she left Seattle, as the I. w. W.'s had made no secret of the fact that they intended to make a raid on this city. In fact, call had been issued from I. W. W. headquar- ters in Seattle asking for volunteers to "avenge the forcible expulsion of Industrial Workers from Everett and to establish the right of free speech there" The call was sent to all I. w. W.'s in the State of Washington last week.
 The warning that the Verona was coming was sent here yesterday from Seattle. AS consequence a mass meeting of citizens was called, at which it was decided that the I. w. W.'s who were coming on the Ve- roma should be met at the wharf and kept from landing.
 Therefore when the Verona docked here today she was met by Sheriff McCrea, his posse of deputies, and a large force of armed citizens. Sher- if McCrea stepped forward and in- formed the I. w. W,'s that they could not land. The spokesman for the l. w. W's immediately started to argue with the sheriff, but when he saw that the officer was in earnest he gave a signal with his hand, and the men on the boat started firing.
 The first man to fall as the re- suit of the fire was the sheriff. The second was Curtis, the member of the posse, who was killed instantly The crowd on shore was panic
