CANYON HILL ROCKS
REVEAL OLD SECRET
SKELETON UNCOVERED LAST
SATURDAY NEAR OLD
BATTLE, FIELD.

"Here comes a dead man" shouted
lusty younkstcr on Canyon Hill last
Saturday when 4 crew of men were
using lava rocks from. the hillside to
reinforce the dam for the co-opera-
tive Ditch company. And down the
hill came rolling the skeletonizcd skull
of human being. II was followed in
rapid succession by other portions Of
the skeleton whose bones had seen
many years Of bleaching.
William WEIGH had charge of the
work of repairing the bridge and it
seems that some youngster. attracted
by the prospect OF rolling rocks from
the top of the bluff near the Mount of
Olives church, had volunteered their
assistance. Upon investigation, Il was
found that the skeleton was in an ex-
cellent state of preservation. Close
beside II lay an old fashioned log
chain.
No satisfactory explanation has
been offered as vet to account for
the presence of the skeleton at that
particular point II Is believed that
the bones are those Of 4 white man,
although that has not been definitely
determined Just across the river.
sometime about 1896 ,skirmish of In
dams and white pioneers occurred. Sew
eral men on both sides were killed
and In former years. il was not nm
common to find the remains Of one
of these fighters. both Indian and
white. But never before has skele-
tom been uncovered on the west side
of the river and il is believed that this
particular individual was not 4 victim
of that skirmish.
