While blowing in the field of Capt.
Perry Dunton of Barriers Island last
week Byron Giles, the well known
contractor and real estate man of
Boothbay, unearthed basket full OF
Indian relics, including tomahawks,
scalping knives and other instru-
ments Of torture, states the Booth
bay Register. The relics are rusted
and decayed but are well enough
preserved to be unmistakable.
The historical value OF this. find is
perhaps important. This is the sec
ond time within few years that In
dian relics have been discovered
nearby. Frank o. Blake, while
blowing in the field of Capt. Free"
McKown at Oak Point, few seasons
ago unearthed Some Indian instru-
ments of torture and the hunt. In
both cases the fields are located near
the water and indicate camping
grounds of the Indians, perhaps even
ante dating the arrival of the white
man on our shores.
