Unearthing of Numerous Human
Skulls in This City Creates
Excitement.
There was much excitement
created throughout the city
terday afternoon when the work
men engaged in working around
the residence of W. I). .Ion.es on
North Third Ireet unearthed
some eighteen human kulls,
which had been buried at t In
northeast corner of the house,
and several of the skulls were
found under I he edge of the house
itself. A couple of (Jays ago the
men unearthed another skeleton
a few feet north of the house and
were not expect ing to unearth
any more, when in digging for the
placing of a concrete wall, the
spades of the workmen uncovered
the remains of what is generally
believed to he Indians, although it
will he impossible to tell until an
expert examination of the differ
ent skulls is made, whether they
are really Indians "or the victims
of some early pioneer tragedy.
The bones so far as found seem
lo be merely the heads, although
several other parts of skeletons
have been found.
In early days the trail to the
west lay along the south bank of
the Platte river and over the hills
along- the bank of the Missouri
river to the site of this city,
where, in the year ltfls a ferry
was established by I.ibeas T.
Coon, a Mormon, for the use of
the Saints then on their westward
way, and by means of this a route
was established alonu- the blutl's.
and it may be possible that some
party of emigrants may have fal
len victims of the Pawnees and
Otoe-;, which tribes held .-way
over (his ection of Nebraska. The
house beneath which the skulls
were found has been in existence
for at least sixty years, and it
seems from all appearances that
the bodies were buried there be
fore the erecting1 of the building,
and as that part of the house is
merely resting on the suface of
the ground without a solid
foundation, it can be readily een
why the bones were not discover
ed at the time the house was
erected. The fact that the skulls
had been so Ions: in the earth
made it hard to tell just whether
or not I hey were Indians, as the
jaw bones and lower portions of
the skulls had crumbled into dust,
and without these distinguishing
parts of the kull it was ditlicult
i judue of their origin. The
authorities of the historical o
cities of the -(ate and those in
terested in (he early history of
Nebraska will be called upon to
pass judgment on the question of
whether they are Indians or not.
Rev. Father M. A. Shine of St.
John's Catholic church, one of the
most eminent and able students
of early history of this slate, is of
the opinion that the bodies may
be those of Otoe Indians, who in
the early days (about 1855) se
cured some salt pork from the
traders and immigrants and
ported themselves to such an ex
tent that seventy of them died,
and he believes it possible that
the skulls found may be the re
mains of the Indians who feasted
too well of the ally meat. Father
Shine has devoted years of study
to the matter of the settlement of
Nebraska and his knowledge of
this subject is far superior to that
of any in this section of the stale,
of that city, one of the leading
and it may be that this is the re
sult of the untimely feast of the
Indians, which after the lapse of
so many years has been nil-

ne of the skulls was taken to
Omaha this morning and submit
ted to the inspection of lr. (iilder
historians and leaders in the re
search work of early Nebraska
history, and after an inspection
he was of the opinion that the
skulls were not those of Otoe In
dians, but that they were prob
ably of an older tribe, and in
his belief had been buried from
75 to loo years. A message was
received by Mr. Jones this morn
ing from the authorities at the
state university that experts
would be sent down on the 1:15
train to take charge of the work
of digging out the unearthed
skulls, and they did not desire to
have them disturbed so all work
was .suspended awaiting- their

TWELVE YEAR OLD
LAD SENTENCED TO
THE REFORM SCHOOL
This morning' Albert Oardner,
lad, was brought
Allen J. lieeson in
a 12-year-old
before Judge
county court, charged with being
incorrigable, and as the lad had
been in the court once before on
the same charge, the judge sen
tenced him to the State Industrial
school at Kearney, where he will
be taken by the sheriff. Young
Oardener, it seems, a short time
ago stole some six dollars from
his nn d her, who is a lady in
rather poor circumstances, and
hid the same in the lot near the
Methodist church, and after being
questioned by Chief of Police
Hainey. he li na My came across
with the money. After the sen
tence to the reform school was
pronounced upon him he put on
quite a scene at the county
judge's ollice, crying and throw
ing himself around, but was final
ly quieted down and was led out
to await
school.

THE SPEED LIMIT
TO BE ENFORCED
It Is Also Necessary for Those
Driving Teams to Keep Their
Side of the Road.
The .agitation that is bejutf
aroused over the question of the
speeding of automobiles brings
forcibly to mind the fact that
there is ne. ..) t ti enforcement
of that section of the Jaw that
provides for vehicles on the high
way, keeping on the riuhl -hand
side of the road or .street. If
this part of the law was lived up
to more by the drivers of teams,
as well as automobiles, it would
greatly lessen the chances of ac
cidents, especially on the resi
dence streets and country loads,
where more or less speed is not
half as dangerous as the chances
taken by parties driving- on either
side of the street they may' lake
the notion to. regardless of the
rights or safety of others who
may be traveling' along the same
road in compliance with the law,
ami when this is done there will
be much less complaint and
danger of parties being- injured
than at present. As a general
rule the automobile drivers are
more observing" of this rule than
others who cannot or do not bring
themselves to comply with the
provisions of the law, and if
possible the city should see that
provision is made in an ordinance
drawn to cover the quest j.tn of
the tratlic on the highways of the
city. In drawing the ordinance
the matter should be weighed
carefully to see that the auto
mobile owners are treated as fair
ly as possible under the slate law.
