McKay Creek Farmer Digs Up a
Skeleton That Puzzles.
McKay, Feb. 21. (To tho Editor)
Who was It? what was It? and how
came It there? aro tho questions that
bother McKay Creekers, about the
skeleton dug up on Tom Adklns'
place about 10 miles south of Pen'
dleton.
For tho last 30 or -10 years there has
been a pile of rock near the old atago
crossing on McKay, about 200 yards
from tho creek.
Last Wednesday Mr. Adkin and
Dick Hakor thought they would see
what was under the rocks. They
found tho rocks were packed In a bolo
the shape of a grave. The rocks
were as largo as a man could lift.
After going through about three feet
of this rock tl'.ey found tho skeleton
of a man.
It was that of a short, heavy-set
man, but very Inrgo bones tho Jaw
bone was exceptionally large, with
large wide teeth. Tho bones from
the elbows out nnd from tho knees
down were missing. Tho Joints of
tho backbone were as large as that
of a yearling steer.
Hut the queerest part of all was the
skull. Instead of being smooth, on
either side of the head were smnll
horns about t ox two Inches long
Now these aro facts that cannot bo
disputed as the skull will show for
itself. ZERO.
