Skeleton Wore U. S. Uniform
One of the moat interesting
discoveries made in recent years
in this county was brought to
light this week when Jim Byrd,
living eighteen miles north of
Brownwood, exhumed the re-
mains of what was probably once
a famous Indian Chief, but what
lends color of historical romance
to the fact that the dead chief
was clothed in the uniform of a
United States Brigadier General.
Mr Byrd lives near the Twin
mountains about two miles from
the Bayou and as stated before
were also in the find and quite a
quantity, of number six shot.
The grave was almost at the top
and on the east side of one, of
the Twin mountains and there
is not a tree or other land mark
near.
The mountain is located about
ten miles east of old Camp Colo-
rado which many years ago
formed the onlv protection for
the pioneers of this section and
where at one time the great

this place. Several days ago one
of his boys was strolling on the
mountain, on a hunting expidi-
tion.and came upon two large
brass rings, half embedded in the
yellow clay of the hillside. The
rings had an antiquated appear-
ance and at once attracted the
attention of the young nimrod
who took them to his father. It
was decided that a father inves-
tigation of that locality should be
made and with pick and shovel
the father and son ascended the
mountain and began digging at
a spot near where the rings were
found. They had hardly broken
the surface of the earth when
the bones of a human were dis-
covered and by careful work the
earth was removed and the entire
skeleton exposed without dis-
turbing the natural position in
which ib had reposed for m: y
years. It was seen at once i.dt

lonely Twin Mountain. Camp
Colorado was abandoned more
than thirty years ago and the old
settlers have no recollection of
an Indian fight near this place.
It is supposed that the Indian
had killed a United States officer
in a battle or from ambush and
obtained the uniform and saddle,
and when the savage died he
was buried with his spoils.

The Waning Hardwood

Although the demand for hard-
hardwoods is an almost certain
indication of rich agricultural
land,and when the hardwoods
are cut the land is turned per-
manently to agricultural use.
