the small box and that the legs
and feet had been doubled under
to allow of the remains being
placed in the box
Only the larger bones remain
ed but the front teeth indica
tions are that the child was
about one year old
The indications are that the
body had been interred for
many yearsythe smaller bones be
ing gone entirely There was a
small amount of hair in the cor
ner of the box where the skull
was located the body had evid
ently been placed corner wise in
the box
There were no surface indica
tions that a body had ever been
buriied at this place the buffalo
grass being grown over and the
tojp of the ground being firm and
solid
There were no evidences that
there had ever been any clothes
on the body but same bits of pa
per were found in the bottom of
the box
