A GIANT SKELETON DISCOVERED IN CAYUGA COUNTY, NEW YORK
A Giant Skeleton - John White, while excavating with a party in Scipio, on Tuesday, exhumed the bones of two Indians. The location of the find is on the farm of E. P. Hoskins, Indian Fields Road. The skeletons when first discovered were entire, and in a sitting position.
Much care was taken in digging around them, to preserve them intact; but they fell apart in removal.
