L.A. Burnside and R.O. Gardner appeared at the Mangum hospital the other day, 
bringing a box containing nearly all the bones of a skeleton of a child, 
which they had brought to submit to the attention of Dr. DeArman, county
coroner. 

They stated that on January 9, while exploring what is known as the Three 
Wing Cave, 2 1/2 miles from Duke, they came to a narrow passage which they 
proceeded to dig larger, to enable them to get through, and while digging 
thus they came on to this skeleton. The hospital surgeon says they are 
undoubtedly the bones of a child about a year and a half old, and have the 
appearance of having been buried several years. 

It is a very strange place to find the remains of a child of that age and the 
mystery suggests that a murder has been committed.
