for The Dalles Woodmen, their Portland
brethern did not make the discovery in
time to warn them to stay at home also.

On Saturday evening the little ham
let of Columbus was suddenly thrast
into a state of excitement by the finding
of a skeleton embedded in the sand al
most in the heart of town. Cbarlea
Tupper, while endeavoring to catch his
horse which had bee a turned into an
enclosed lot between the postofBce and
the store, noticed as tbe horse plunged
through a drift of sand that something
of a peculiar shape was unearthed by its
hoofs. On close examination it waa
found to be a human skull. Several of
the neighbors sooon assembled and the
entire skeletoa was exhumed, although
so badly decomposed as to make it al
most an impossible to determine the sex,
but from the length ol the thigh bone
the person must have been about six
feet tall which would naturally lead to
the conclusion that tbe hones were thoee
of a man. The skeleton lay in a position
to substantiate an opinion of foul play,
as the limbs had evidently been doubled
np on the jicknife plan in order to place
the body iu a hole iiiiii h too short lor it.
From the contour of tiie skull it is
thought to be the skeleton of a white
man, although no white man now living
at Columbus, nor even tho Indians, re
member of any incident that might lead
to an Identification or even a "shady"
solution of the mystery. Goldindale
