Kingsbury and Constable O. l.. Pick ems of this precinct. who were di- rected to the scene Monday after noon and made final disposition of the remains. An aged Mexican pros pector made the discovery, The re- port found its way to the sheriff $ office and Sheriff Montgomery inves- tigated the case Monday morning on his way to above Payson where he will spend his vacation. He later notified the local authorities to make the proper disposition of the body.
 Only the bare skeleton remained, according to Constable Pickens, indi- cations being that death had resulted some 15 or 20 years ago. The double up position in which the body rested indicated that it had been buried hurriedly, possibly as the result of a crime. but the skull or other parts of the skeleton showed no bullet holes or apparent wounds. An old broken and rusted prospector's pick lay near the improvised grave. The skeleton was found in small l ravine about three-quarters of mile from the Salt river and less than 2 1 half mile off the Apache Trail. A | grave was dug there and the remains were laid to their final and per- manent rest.
