three feet deep just beneath the roots
of the old tree. One of the skulls had
a clean cut fracture probably made by
a tomahawk. An other had two OF
these fractures in the back of the
skull. One of the bones Of the pelvis
of one of the skeletons had stone
arrow head embedded in it three
quarters of an inch deep. DR.. F. w.
Powers said that the shape of the
skulls indicated beyond doubt that
the bones were those of Indians.
When the first report of the find
was made, it was thought possible,
that the skeletons buried close to-
gether in a single grave, might be
those of the, Norsemen whose mass
acre is mentioned on the historic
Rhinestone found near Kknsington.
The Rhinestone was found less than
a days journesy from Barrett, and
the number of skulls found checks
very closely with the number OF
Norsemen killed by the Indians in
what was probably the first visit Of
white men to the Mississippi valley.
The shape of the arrow indicated
that it was not Sioux arrow, and it
is entirely possible that the skeletons
were those Of party of Sioux In
dians killed in battle by the Chip
pewas, and hastily buried there.
The fact that only one arrow head
was left, and that one deeply en-
bedded in the body, would indicate
that the men had been buried by
their enimies who had first removed
all weapons, and buried them in a
mass in single grave. One of the
skulls showed evidences of the scalp
having been cut off.
The tree which was growing above
the skeletons, is believed to have been
at least hundred years old. 1t was
an oak tree, with trunk over a foot
thick. 1t was cut down three years
ago when the house in which Mr..
Hjelle lives was built. The house
is situated near the pavilion on the
SnOf6 OIL DdffeI LAKE.
The roots of the tree grew around
the bones and in among them. One
large root had grown through one
of the skulls, breaking open the
bones of the skull with its force.
Other smaller roots grew in between
the skull bones.
Bones of every part of the body
weer found, although the skeletons
were in no case complete. What be.
came of the other bones belonging to
the skeletons is a matter for con.
lecture. Wolves might have carried
parts of the bodies away, or other
bones might have decayed more
rapidly.
Most of the bones were in excellent

state of preservation. The teeth in
the skulls We're in excellnt condi-
ton. The front teeth in nearly every
case were broad, and all the teeth OF
the older men were worn down to 9
large extent. Only one tooth in the
entire lot showed evidence of decay
Judging from the teeth they were
eleven full grown men boy of fif,
teen or sixteen, and another boy
about ten or eleven years old.
1t is impossible to. say how long
the bones had been buried there, but
it is believed that it must have been
considerable length of time.
w. H. Goetzinger has notified the
State Historical Society of the dis
covery. The skulls and bones taken
from the excavation are now in the
possession of Mr.. Hjelle and DR.. F.
w. Powers in Barrett.

Holdingford Suffers
From Fire Sunday
Business Section Burned-Helped
Called From Nearby
Towns

A serious fire which caused ap-
proximately 100000 worth of dam
age and for a time threatened to
wipe out the village of Holdingford
started Sunday afternoon at about 3
o'clock in the workshop of Val.
Koshiol's garage when a gasoline
vulcanizing outfit exploded. Almost
in moment the garage was mass
of flames, the explosion of gasoline
tanks on the cars in garage quick
ly adding intense fury to the con-
fiagration.
The village fire department arrived
promptly at the scene, but the water,
supply was exhausted long before
the fire could be gotten under con-
troll, and aid was summoned form AL
bany, st. Joseph and st. Cloud.
The small pumping outfit of the
Albany department was the first to
arrive, and rendered material assist
ance in fighting the flames, but was
unable to cope with the rapidly
spreading fire.
The St. Cloud department received
a call at $3.50 and few minutes later
the big Waterous truck and pumper
driven by E. A. Polipnick of the
department, accompanied by Joseph
Neurenberg and Sam Chute as vol
unteers left for Holdingford. The
trip was made in one hour and II
minutes, the St. Cloud outfit reach
ing Holdingford at few minutes be-
fore 5 o'clock.
By this time the flames had spread
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1920-08-19

70 the butcher shop of S. Katzmarek
and the general store of Charles
Brenny.
The Waterous pumper from St.
Cloud was connected to the Two Riv-
ers with a line of hose and water
pumped from the river onto The
flames, which were then gotten und-
er control in about As minutes, and
by $50 were entirely extinguished.
There was only a light breeze, but
such as there was blew towards the
main business portion of the village
which for time was seriously
threatened. The Bee Hive millinery
store next to the Brenny general
merchandise store caught fire a num-
Der of times but the flames here
were put out before making any pro-
gress. The Holdingford lumber yards,
situated almost adjacent to the gar
age was also in serious danger, but
the flames were kept from getting a
start there.
The st. Joseph department also re-
sponded to the call for assistance by
contributing several sections OF h, Sc
to nelp combat the confagration.
The garage, owned by Val. Koshiol
was a new structure of brick and hol-
low tile, completed only abm.- eight
months ago. There were about 3o
cars in the place when the fire broke
out, only one or two of which were
saved. The majority of the machines
were there for storage or in the re-
pair shop, and the loss on these must
be sustained by their owners. There
were also a number of new machines
belonging to the owner of the garage,
which were consumed by the flames.
The total loss in the garage fire
will come close to $4,000. With the
losses of St. Katzmarek and Charles
Brenny added to this the entire DAM
age of the fire will approach the
100000 mark. The losses were par
TALLY covered by insurance.
