A Mysterious Find at Pierre.

While digging a cellar for a house about a mile north of the town of Fort Pierre and a mile and half from Pierre, the workmen made a ghastly find in the shape of seven human bodies. They were in a bad state of putrefaction and four of them are presumably those of soldiers and the remaining three Indians. The authorities were at once notified. Owing to the decayed conditions of the bodies it is impossible to identify them. The coroner states that they must have been placed there fully six months ago. Their identity has not as yet been established, nor the cause of their death ascertained.
