y. S.)-A few days ago while work
men were opening a new gravel pit
on the Arville Quick farm, FIVE miles
west Of this city. they struck an
ancient Indian burying ground and
uncovered a total Of eighteen skele-
tons. The bones were in a deposit
OF clay a few feet below the surface
Of the earth They were in various
stages of disintegration and il is
thought by many that they are the
remains Of persons buried there at
least $50 years ago.
Several persons have advanced the
opinion that the bones are tie re-
mains Of braves killed at the battle
Of TippeCanOe. as history states that
all the warriors who fell during that
battle were taken away by their
comrades and buried at points dis
tant from the scene However. this
theory is not given general credence
as the remains Of several children
were included in the lot The most
plausible story is that all were vic

the Indian village believed 20 have

prising the Quick farm. and that all
who died Of the disease were buried
at one time.
