cred last Friday by workmen on the
convict road in Plateau canon. a short
distance from the J. z. Harris prop

The men were blasting rock for the
purpose of surfacing the highway and

the mountain discovered in a large
crev,ce or fissurc The skeleton of a
map entire. There was nothing found
near the body but the holder for a
cigar by which the Identity OF the
party might be learned.
II is the first superstition that IT may
be the body OF ono of the convicrs
engaged during the years l9ll-ts-l3.
and Il IL remembered that some time
during that period one OF the convicts
in a quarrel killed another: the mur.

TO discover him wars unaxaiiina. The
custodonian of the skeleton will be
the sheriff and he will take the mat.

sible the identity Of the party will be
traced. A careful search oil the place
may reveal something more tangible.
