A gift last week of an
Indian skeleton, together
with all the paraphernalia
that usually is buried with an
Indian warrior, was made by
William Schnabel, pioneer
and student of early Idaho
history, to the College of
Idaho Museum.
It was while on a special
trip taken by Mr Schnabel
into the Succor Creek Canyon
Malheur County last summer
for that purpose that dis
covery of the skeleton was
made. This section. Mrs.
Schnabel says, is noted for its
peculiarities, as the country
is deeply cut by small,
rugged valleys and was a
natural haunt for tribes of
Indians which formerly roa
med there.
According to Mrs. Schna
bel. the grave was found
without difficulty. Unearthed
with the body were a number
of arrow shafts, a bow of
unusually fine workmanship
and quality and the top of an
old-fashioned sheet-iron ket

piece of canvas in which the

body had apparently been
wrapped.
The canvas and kettle top
indicated that the Indian had
been buried since the white
men invaded the northwest
but the belief is the grave is
an old one. It is believed that
the brave, apparently an
elderly man. was buried in
the Hudson Bay Company
period.
In excavating the body.
Mr Schnabel uncovered
three scorpions of the blue
species, a rattlesnake and
two lizards, all comfortable
hibernated there for the
winter. The body was facing
the east, indicating that the
brave was of more than
ordinary importance. Evi
dence of the brave’s age is
borne by the teeth, which
were nearly worn away in the
lower jaw.
