Nehawka Farm
Yields Skeletons
of Ancient Man
-r. G. H. Gilmora and Workers Reveal
Find of Bor.es of Race That May
Have Lived Eefore Indians.
From a cornfield on the Nelson
Berger larm, north of Nthawka,
there was taken Thursday, fifteen
skeletons believed to be those of a
race that had lived in this country
long before the coming of the In
dians or the visitation of the Span
ish from the Mexican settlements.
Dr. G. II. Cilmore. of Murray, who
has directed much of this research
work over the state was informed
of the finding of the bones and at
once moved to the scone to reveal
the cache of skeletons of what he be-:
lieves to have been a race living
along the Weeping Water crook from
Elm wood east to the Missouri liver.
Dr. Gilmore investigating the bones
and judging from the shape cf the
teeth and the facial features is of
tho opinion that the hones are prob -
ably those of a Mongoloid race, pos-
sibly a tribe that moved into Ne-i
braska centuries before the coming
of the Indians.
The find was made as Mr. Berger;
was pulling a stump, the roots of
which caught in the rock and ex
posed a skull.
Tho grave was located near one
of the largest Hint mines in Nebraska
which may have accounted for the
settlement near an ample supply of
this Hint used by the dwellers in
many purposes.
Dr. Gilmore declined to r.ct a time
of their residence, altho tlu absence
of metal xn.'gh: indicate that it was
prior to Spanish explorations of this
section of the west. !
The skeletons were crudely yet
effectively sealed in an air tight
