week ago to investigate a report at
tributed to J. e. Coker, mine operator,
that he had witnessed the excavation of
skeletons of men feet tall.
DR.. Cummings said he found no evi-
denoe to support the story, although he
had excavated IS skeletons from an an
cient Indian burial ground.
Every people throughout the ages
has had its stories of giants" he said.
''but they never have been Substantiated
scientifically.
I'm our excavations we uncovered 1S
skeletons, five of them adult males, the
others women and children in what
obviously is an ancient burial ground.
THE males raj ged in height from 6
feet to 6 feet 6 inches-good sized In
dians, but by no means gigantic. The
women were entirely normal in stature,
the tallest being feet 10 inches. The
children also appeared normal.
THE tribe evidently was an ancient
one. They were long-headed Indians

were some small shell ornaments, several
crude stone implements which evidently
had been used In making ornaments,
and a few large seashells rom which
the ornaments were made"
DR.. Cummings said no serious trouble
was experienced with the present Indian
inhabitants of the region.
