STONK GRAVES ON THK BLUFF. 



These are situated on the bluff, just within the Eandolph county line, 

 at the mouth of the first large ravine on the road from Glasgow to 

 Prairie du Rocher. They are probably the graves mentioned by Dr, 

 Wislizenus.' 



They are located more than 100 feet above the bottom lands, on the 

 point of a narrow steep spur. The cliff's immediately south of them 

 are perpendicular. Their respective positions, with sections of the 

 spur, are shown in Fig. 09. 



As all but three of these graves had been opened previous to the 

 visit of the Bureau agent, and nothing peculiar was observed, a detailed 

 description is deemed unnecessary. In one of the three which was 

 undisturbed the skeleton was bundled, in the other two they lay at 

 full length, heads east, faces up. The skull of the bundled skeleton 

 was in the east end of the grave.
