Sixth Corpse Under One Building Lo cated at Elgin. ,, Encased in a decayed buffalo robe, the remains of an Indian have been dug up by excavators building an ad. dition to the City Drug store, owned by F. E. Harris of Elgin. The dis covery proves conclusively that the building stands upon an Indian burial ground for this is the sixth skeleton to be found within a few feet of where the bones were found this week. ' In 1896 four graves were unearthed by the excavators when the drug store building was erected; shortly after- wards sewer diggers found the fifth, and Tuesday the sixth came to light when an addition was desired to the building. These particular bones indicate clearly that the brave had been laid away with Indian ceremonial because trinkets and tools such as follow In dians to their graves, were fouitd along side the remains. Chief among these was a long chain of copper thimbles. Elgin pioneers believe that the corpses were of warriors slain in the last skirmishes with the Walla Walla regulars along about 1852 or . they may be a portion of Chief Joseph's band, dead because of natural results. II is pointed out that it would be un likely that warriors slain in battle wherein history asserts the foes were victorious, would be given "decent" burial. The bones have been reinter red and the trinkets are held by Elgin people who found them. . .
