Indian Relics At Delafield

A Sand-Pit Discloses Several Skulls and a Quantity of Trinkets.

A find of no little interest to the archaeologist is reported from Delafield. While digging in a sand-pit on the Pfeifer place near the village, workmen unearthed several skeletons, undoubtedly those of Indians, as a number of Indian relics were found with the bones. Among the articles found was a curious necklace made of strips of copper, copper beads and the teeth of some wild animal. Three skulls were found, one in perfect condition. The teeth of the lower jaw are in a perfect state of preservation and not one is missing. The place where the remains were found is a high sandy hill and not long ago a stone hatchet, a number of copper arrow-heads and several other relics were found there.
