, 1927-07-20

A distinguished group of visitors
to the museum came over by the
stage coach on Sunday evening late.
The leader was Hayward G.. L.eavitt
of Omaha, Nebraska, an old time
friend of the Codys. Mr. Leavitt
had a letter from Howard Elliott,
chairman of the board OF directors
of the Northern Pacific and also an
old time friend of Colonel Cody.
MIR. Leavitt and his party looked
over the museum very carefully for
liott, who was unable to get over
upon his recent visit to Cody.
Years ago Mr.. Leavitt, who is in
.terested in the sugar beet industry,
made a special trip to North Platte
with Colonel Cody to look into the
possibility of raising beets on that
land, and for thirty years the
friendship grew. The two had many
mutual friends, especially the Gen
eral Miles and Roosevelt families.
Mr.. Leavitt was taken all over the
museum, told details of the build
ing and shown the relics, as well
as many rare old pictures and let
tiers that cannot be shown on ac-
count of the lack of case space. He
and his entire party were enthus-
iastic and thought the building en-
inently suitable. the location of the
scrap of frontier land and the start
of the Cody road. and visioned a
great future.

FIND FOUR SKELETONS
: ON BULL LAKE PROJECT

Contractors constructing the Wyo-
ming state highway in the Bull
Lake region. Fremont County, last
week, reported the finding of four
skeletons which were uncovered by
an excavation crew about six miles
west of Bull Lake.
Not a particle of clothing or a
button could be found anywhere.
Besides she skulls of the dead there
were but comparatively few bones
that were not pulverized. The
skulls. however. were in a com
paratively good state of ~preserva-
ton. One of the skulls had a hole
in it, indicating that a bullet had
passed through. 1t is stated that
,it was hard to decide whether the
skeletons were those of white men
or Indians, although it is surmised
that they were white men killed
by Indians between fifty and sixty
years ago. stripped of all clothing
and dumped in a ravine, where
sliding earth gradually covered
them with the passing years.
Pete Anderson, one of the real
old timers of Fremont, claims to
have a faint recollection that in
1866, the time the miners were
driven out of the South Pass coun-
try, a band of about twenty drift
ed along the Wind River and were
killed. and that perhaps these four
may have been of that band.
The story is also told that four
men, two of them large powerful
men, had spent some time pros
pecting in South Pass and Atlantic
City country, and had on their
person a large amount of gold.
They decided that there was gold
up along the Wind River range.
and the four men, decided to pros
pect all the way up to the head
of Wind River. They did not
know the country and one Jack
Holbrook, quite a noted character.
and at n time said to be one
fourth owner in the Miners Delight
agreed to accompany them on the
trip. Holbrook was alleged to be
quite a bad man, the story goes.
but the four prospectors decided
h a they were not afraid of him
as they could protect themselves
The party set out in the year 1869
or 1870, and started across the
mountains. They had been gone
about two months and one day.
Holbrook returned to Atlantic,
stating he had left the four pros
pectors on the head of Mill Creek.
and that after quarreling with them
he returned to South Pass and tbay

Walter Kepford came to the
museum and asked the committee
to visit his house and make any
selections, and took from his W
walls heads and skins and horns,
and helped hang these priceless
relics.
Jake Schwoob sent a load of
priced treasures down, gave most
valuable relics of the early days
here with Buffalo Bill, and then
went back again to unearth still
more stuff. and later sent some
color for the rooms in shawls and
blankets.
Mrs. Eli Jernberg loaned a rare
old gun along with other things.
Monte Jones sent in a lot OF val
liable stuff.
F. S. Groves, Jr., present owner
of the TIE ranch, and wnS 90 finely
cooperated with the museum build
ssrs, was taken thru the new build
ing shortly after he arrived one
morning and liked it SO well that
he at one loaned the museum a
most valuable and personally inter-
esting collection of old cossack,
Irish lancers, pack saddles, collars
from the show team. and a number
OF things doubly interesting be-
cause they came from the TIE ranch.
A complete list of the relics
loaned and given by the Cody and
Buffalo Bill country folks will be
published in the Museum bulletin.

shown in the guns and frequently

DR.. Schurman was of the opinion
that the foresight Of Bremen's burgo-

major causes for Germany's prom
