LIKELY TO REMAIN MYSTERY
Little Probability Of Identification Of
Skeletons Recently Dug Up on
Texas Prairie.

Further search Of the spot near
Bishop, Tex, where were found %
skeletons Of human beings early in
August revealed Is more skeletons,
making total of 40 remains Of men
who were victims of some kind of
tragedy of which people Of the pres
ent day have no knowledge. No proof
has come to light to substantiate the
theory that the skeletons belonged
to members Of Jean Lafitte's pirate
crew.
That they belonged to some part Of
the old world, however. is evident
from the rust-incrusted relics that
have been found close by the spot
where the collection of skeletons were
discovered. These include brass
incense burner, gold rings and brace
let's and an unidentified iron object
bearing the words. Cadiz. Spain, upon
it's surface. The fact that close at hand
were found many Indian arr0wheads
leads to the conclusion that the men
who lost their lives may have be-
longed to a. crew of shipwrecked YES
sells and were killed by Indians.
]. B. Briscoe of Pecos. Tex, is of
the opinion that the skeletons may
be those Of party Of men who were
on their way to Mexico in 1865 to
keep from serving in the war be-
tween the states. In a letter to a
public official of Corpus Christi, Mr..
BriscOe said:
about the first Of April, 1855, a
bunch Of men-3S. / think-left the
west part of Hunt county to go to
Mexico to keep out of the war. and
not one Of them has ever been heard
Of since they left. am quite sure
they were all murdered before they
got to Mexico. They started from my
wife's fathers house, and she is the
last person living that saw them start.
I was In the army at the time and did
not get home until the last of May.
Now, it is barely possible that those
skeletons may have been those men.
Several of them were married men
and some Of the women lived widows
Is years before they married. An
old settler about Greenville or the
southwest part Of Hunt county will
remember these men, but there are
very few living that were there then"
The skeletons were given Chris
tian burial at Corpus Christi a few
days ago. Search for possible treas
ure at the place where the grim re-
mains weref found is stu being car
ried on.

Battle Of Argonne
Easy for this Guy
Colorado Farmer Believes an Extra
Wife Would Help Solve
Labor Problems

The problem of farm labor has fin
ally been solved by resident of the
state of Colorado.
This particular gentlman has a
theory which makes old Brigham
Young look like a. piker and his plan
is not hitched to any religious prac-
tice either. His name is George
Smith and he may be decendent of
the Smith of Norman fame; we
don't know; but his solution of the
farm labor problem teens with the
essence of Utah in the early days.
Mr.. Smith is bit hard in his deal
ings with the city man, but his argu-
ment sounds fair enough to the
farmer. He advocates that in Colo
RADIO, each farmer be allowed two
wives This is his appeal to Cover
nor Shoup at Denver.
Governor o. H. Shoup-I am a
farmer seven miles south of Denver.
You are good state governor or the
people would not have elected you by
such large majority the second
time. You should originate some
good help for farmers and offer
you something to help the farmers
end you could lead all the other gov
eInors if you can get it made law.
at is: Let the city men have one
wife and farmers have two wives.
You see one could help the other and
a farmer could surely raise boys to
work the farm and not need to hire
at high wages. Then the farmers
could sell cheap crops and make
money and living in cities would be
cheaper, and many young men would
leave cities to be on a farm and have
two wives.
81 tell you this argument about.
farmers to be organized is all bosh.
A farmer needs no theories. | am
certain a. farmer can't get any help
unless it is born and raised on
farm.
"You would be greater man than
Lincoln if you can get the United
States to let all the farmers have two
wives. You see the farmer would be
Independent of hired help in few
years both on the farm and in the
house work. A farmer could often
marry two sisters or good pals"

Initiating Mahogany.

In the manufacture of furniture and
cabinets a great deal of red gum is
used as an imitation of mahogany or
Circassian walnut, says the American
Forestry Magazine. When red gum
is properly finished it can be made
to look much like either of these
woods. There is very distinct diff
ference, however, between red gum
and mahogany or walnut. This diff
ference lies in the size Of the pores.

To dream Of snake denotes treach-

a green snake is a good omen to
