those I unearthed and also those
found forty feet away. are of unusual
occurrence. There must have been
some urgent necessity for this mode
OF burial and the most plausible rea-
son for such hasty interment is
that battle was fought near here.
and that those slain were, after be-
Ing stripped of their weapons, hastily
buried In shallow pits. We must re-
member that already the remains of
twenty-one persons have been found
within a distance OF fifty feet and a
total area of less than two hundred
square feet has been excavated. II
would be interesting to know what
the demolition of this entire bluff
would bring to light.
Result OF Battle.
There was no appearance of hair
discovered; the smaller bones were
almost entirely decomposed and would
have instantly crumbled to atoms
when first exposed to the air; six OF
the skulls were removed from their
proper position and there were scant
traces of fire upon the bottom of the
grave.
"All these circumstances, coupled
with the fact that other burials, un-
doubtedly of aborigines. have been
discovered in close proximity to this
charnel pit would prove beyond doubt
that these were the remains of In
dians.
Had the deceased been whites,
some article OF indestructible nature
such as buttons, buckets, rings or
other objects surely would have been
found.
still 1t would be absolutely nec-
essary to have the services of an
expert in craniology to positively de-
termine the race to which these
skeletal remains belonged.
II am greatly indebted to Mr..
Marvin III. Markle, of the Baltimore
Y. NJ. C. A., for his permission to
excavate and his many courtesies
while engaged in the work; also to
the Rev. c. C. Morhart. of Cleve-
land, Ohio. and Drs. Catch and
Palmer. of Baltimore. Nd. for their
