TWO SK[LETONSARE
FOUND ON SHORE OF
BAYOU BY SMALL BOY

What are thought to have been the
skeleton of couple of Indians, dead
for many years, were unearthed
yesterday by boy named Williams,
on the shore of Bayou Chico, half a
mile from the electric car bridge. The
boy was hunting lost reels which had
been missing since the last storm and
was searching for the lost property
by digging around the roots of tree
which went down during the storm.
The skulls of two human beings
were brought TO light. Not only that
but a witness who hurried to the
scene stated last night that Indian
relics had also been found there.
These relics, according to James M.
johnson, near whose former home
the rather CHASTITY discovery was
made, consisted of beads and a
weapon which in years past may
have served the purpose of a toma-
hawk.
A report of the discovery was tele-
phoned to the police station. Captain
of Police Cusachs, in charge of the
department at the time, was unable
to personally investigate the story,
having been detained as a witness in
the United States court. Captain
Cusachs;Showever, gave what infor-
nation he had to Constable S. ].
Jones, who visited the scene and saw
the portions of skeletons of human
beings which may have been buried
for many years, the bones having
blackened from their long undis-
turbed state.
Persons who have resided in the
vicinity for some time told yesterday
that in the past near the spot where
the skeletons were discovered had
been situated garrison.

HIGH SCHOOL
vICTORs 81 To D

The Pensacola Collegiates were de-
Ieated yesterday afternoon at Maxent
park. by the fast eleven from the High
School, by score OF 81 to 0. The game
was well attended by friends of the two
teams, and much interest was taken in
the contest, although little doubt of the
outcome was shown from the first.
In the first quarter Morgan for the
High School made touchdown after a
wide end run Of ninety yards, Perkins
kicked goal making the score seven,
naught.
The first quarter was the most excit-
ing of the game, for the school boys We're
given hard fight by the Collegiates.
The line smashing OF quarterback Mann
ner, and the interference of Diaz. forced
the p. H. s. to play the limit when the
ball was placed at their Is yards line.
The noteworthy features of the game
were the long passes of Fulghum, while
the co-action of Bell and Smith made
these plays very effective. In the second
quarter the first down of the Collegiates
lost on tumble, the ball carried to 20
yard line, where an attempt to drop
kick by Fulghum was blocked. For the
Collegiates, the work of Hammer and
Axelsson was notable. The line-ups fol-

Big Sturgeon on Trot Line.

dangling from the main line with

Barion's catch was a sturgeon, a
big fish that measured seven feet with
out the head. When the sturgeon

twelve bells rang clatter that awak-

THE MAN OF MYSTERY.

One bright day in the winter Of
1902 a gorgeous chariot drew up be-
fore the principal inn of Heidelberg.
II was drawn by four prancing steeds,
which wore silver-mounted harness,
and the coach itself was lavishly deco
rated with expensive curlicues.
From this vehicle there presently
stepped forth a man of stately and
commanding appearance, lady Of
queenly bearing, and three small chill
dren, the party being followed by q
female servant.
There wasn't much doing at Heidel-
berg just then, and the coming of this
princely stranger created a sensation.
There was much coming and gong Of
kings and princes in those days, and
II was the general belief OF the town
people that the stranger belonged to
some royal house. There was some
disappointment when Herr Kinkel,
who made vinegar in large quantities.
announced that the stranger, Herr
Grandson, was q merchant from
Denmark, and had talked with him
about buying a large shipment of his
product.
The days went by and Herr Gran
disson and his family remained at the
inn, while the herr himself made the
acquaintance of the leading people of
the vicinage. He was a most charm
ing man, highly educated and accom-
plished, and of such stately manners
that people felt themselves honored
when he paused to converse with
them. II soon became known that II
he wasn't a prince of royal house,
he at least was prince among mer.
chants. He had warehouses in many
lands, and ships on almost every sea
There was great satisfaction In
Heidelberg when Herr Grandson an
nounced that he had concluded to re.
main there indefinitely. He had i'm
uortant interests in Germany, and

Hla Identity.

We met a man with the most as.
toundingly lugubrious cast OF counte
nance that we had ever seen. Gloom
sat on his brow like brooding con
dor on her nest and an abysmal sad
ness seemed devouring him.
"Ah!" said we, 1--WE perceive that
you are celebrated wag. for, in sooth
we have never before In all of woes
appointed ways beheld such a personi
fication of wretchedness."

wished to watch over them. Also, he
was enamored of the town, which
seemed an ideal place to educate his
children. He rented large and hand
some dwelling and went to housekeep-
ing in his usual princely way, with a
retinue OF servants, and fine horses
and carriages in the stables, and ev-
erything that money could provide.
Now and then he left the town for a
week or two to look after his i'm
portant business interests.
After being there some months,
Grandson approached the chief Of
police one day and showed him his
hat, which had been pierced by bull
let.
Il have been shot at from ambush"
said he, and you must find and pun
ish the miscreant who is guilty, or
must leave this town"
Needless to say, the chief of police
and all his underlings ruined their
suspenders trying to run down the
loathsome individual who had shot the
great mans hat. Most of the towns
people went sleuthlng, TO help the po-
lice, and the neighborhood of Heidel-
berg was full of false whiskers and
dark lanterns, but all in vain. Not a
clew could be discovered. The leading
business men, the wheelhorses of COM
merct. called upon the herr and
begged him to remain notwithstand-
ing, but the great merchant was firm.
He didn't care rix-dollar about his
life, he said, but his duty to others
forced him to be cautious.
So he moved away. and for several
years was heard OF no more But his
memory remained green. The leading
business men never ceased bewalling
his departure. He was the only GUS
toner they ever had who threw money
at the birds. And the social leaders

and In the morning he was found
there dead. He had hanged himself
from the doorpost with his handker-
chief, and the immense will power OF
the man is indicated by the fact that
he had to hold his feet up from the
floor in order to make the suicide a
success.
Who was he? The greatest and
most spectacular robber OF the time.
For twenty-five years he had been
robbing mail coaches, residences, post
offices and all sorts of repositories of
money, and with such wonderful skill
that suspicion was never directed to-
ward him until the close OF his career,
when accident led to his undoing. He
was 80 magnificent, so splendid, that
1t seemed idiocy to accuse him of rob-
berry, even when he had been the sole
passenger In a mail coach which was
despoiled of large number of thai
ers.

written confession, and 1t is a dis
appointment to know that she proved
a cheap sport. She tried to picture
herself as a martyr OF angelic quail
ties. who had been yoked with mon

crimes, Grandson retained the pub
lie sympathy. In fact. he was almost
hero; and the woman's story did her
no good. She was seat to prison for
two years, and II soon developed
through police researches. that she
