HIGHWAY WORKER
UNEARTHS SKELETON

Human bones, presumably those of
a soldier, were found In a shallow
grave about six miles out on the Aus
tin road by a highway workman late
Monday.
The complete skeleton was unearth-
ed and brought in to a local under
taking parlor by Deputy Sherifss Pet
ers and Dwyer. An inquest may be
held by Justice of the Peace Ben s.
Fisk. ~
Records of mysterious disappear
ances of Fort Sam Houston soldiers
with in the last few years, as we'll as
disappearance of civilian residents of
the city, will be investigated in an ef-
fort to solve the mystery Of the bones.
The skeleton was discovered by
Guillermo Escalante, ia West Mistle-
toe avenue, who is employed with
road crew working in the vicinity of
the unmasked grave.
He stumbled over a portion of
human skull while walking with his
wife in a deserted gravel pit near the
road camp. He recognized the bone
which his foot had hit as part of a
skull. Digging into the loose dirt, he
soon unearthed the entire head. Other
workmen were called and they soon
uncovered the almost complete skele-
ton.
The man had been buried in the
loose dirt of the gravel pit, scarcely
two feet below the surface.
From the condition of the badly, of
ficers believe the bones may have lain
undisturbed in the shallow grave for
as long as 10 years.
Brass buttons found in the grave
indicated the dead man was soldier,
as they bore the United States insig-
mia.
