SKELETON UNEARTHED
NEAR TYLER

Last week while loading gra-
vel from the pit mile south of
town, for the road, Peter Beck
unearthed skeleton about four
feet below the surface of the
ground. From all indications the
body had been buried without
any ceremony as it lay in a some
what cramped position with the
head towards the south and the
bones as far as could be deter
mined were those of an elderly
person, possibly a woman, as
nothing was found at or near the
remains to tell the tale of the
grave diggers.
We may speculate as to whe-
ther the skeleton was that of an
Indian or a white person. Posi-
bly, it may have been buried by
the Indians roaming the prairies
to and from their hunting and
fishing grounds around Lake Ben
ton, or it may have been one of
the early pioneers, who with the
extreme and covered wagon
vending their way across the
prairies in the early sixties or
another theory may be advanced
that a crime had been committed
and the body buried in the sand
and gravel to hide it.
But one thing remains certain,
that a great change has been
wrought on the prairies since the
body was first buried, and that
no men in autos dug the grave
like on this occasion when Mr..
Hermanson, with the assistance
of Jens Beck and Peter Beck, of
Hope placed the bones in the
ground again a short distance
from the place where they were
discovered in the same hill so
many years their resting place
