Giant Human Skeleton Discovered in New Mexico
Albuquerque Daily Citizen., Albuquerque, N.M. January 27, 1902
The Giant Skeleton
It Will Be removed to Las Veaga, New Mexico
Don Gregorio Varela and Marcelino Martinez have gone down to El Nuervo. They will go out to the mesa Rica and endeavor to buy the skeleton of a human giant, which was last week unearthed by Luciano Quintana.
The giant would pay if brought here. The Smithsonian people would be proud of a giant of the dimensions of this one.
A leg is well preserved. It is eight feet in length. The skeleton will be on exhibition in the courthouse and anthropologists are especially invited o examine it.

BONES OF AN INDIAN GIANT
A member of the Logan Grays, the crack military organization of Logansport that held its encampment this year at Eagle Lake, near Warsaw stopped in this city on his way home from camp and told the following story of the discovery by the party of a cavern on an island in Eagle Lake; A.M. Jones rowed to a small island near the southwest corner of the lake and began digging for worms.
He turned over a large, flat stone near a tree, and under it was a small hole, which was an entrance to a cave. Jones called the boys up, and we began an exploration of the cavern, which proved to be twenty-five feet long, fifteen feet wide, and eight feet deep. The walls are of a natural formation of stone, branching out at the middle so as to form two rooms.
In the front room was the skeleton of a man six feet nine inches long. The bones were very large, indicating great strength. Along one side of the cave runs a small stream of water, as pure as crystal. In the front of it forms a small pool. In this were a number of bones.
