FIND BONES OF DEAD
NEAR BANK OF river
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. M. Eager Came
Upon GreWsome Object
SKELETON OF IN INDIAN
That Is the Belief of Constable
W. J. Nixon of North
Mankat0

Mystery shrouds the finding of a
human skeleton on the bank OF the
Blue Earth river on the North Man
kato side in the neighborhood of the
George Pond farm almost opposite
Sibley park late yesterday afternoon
The discovery was made by Mr..
and Mrs. ]. M. Eager, as they were
out walking near the spot. Mr.. Eager
first noticed a human skull, not far
from the waters edge, and closer in
vestigation revealed the fact that a
whole skeleton was there.
Mr.. Eager notified the Mankato
police, who in turn notified Constable
Nixon of North MankatO. Shortly aft
erwards, Mr. Nixon, Henry Robel, Jr.,
and Mr.. Eager all visited the spot, and
the bones were picked up and dug out
of the bank.
Traffic Officer E. " Waters says
the badges found with the bones re-
semble those he has seen worn by
the steamboat captains that used to
ply the Minnesota river in the early
days. He has an idea that many
years ago one of these captains
might have been buried on that spot,
and these may be his bones.
Opinion of Constable.
1t appeared to be the skeleton of a
man of about six feet. The skull was
quite large. Nearly all of the teeth
were there. The teeth were excellent
and there were no filings. Mr.. Nixon
was very much inclined to believe
that it was the skeleton of an Indian
who had been buried in the bank
about three feet deep, but whose
bones were dug out by the wearing OF
the current of the river in times Of
high water.
Mr.. Nixon took the bones to his
home and notified Sheriff Olson at st
Peter, and the latter notified the
coroner. The coroner, after hearing
the circumstance of the finding of the
bones, decided that there was no ust
