A colored man by the name of Goins came to the police station
yesterday afternoon and made the force a present of a large human
skull which he had dug up in a barn at 1519 Franklin Street. The
article is in excellant condition and after it has been polished
will make a pretty piece or ornamentation for the desk in the
office at the station.
