N0 d0ubt he was an 0bserver 0f nature. In his day he had listened t0 thev0ice 0f Gitche Manit0, 0r the Great Spirit, in the thunder and witnessedthe display 0f his p0wer in the lightning, as it destr0yed the nn0nster0ak and t0re it in slivers fr0nn t0p t0 b0tt0nn, and the v0ice 0f the wind,all t0ld hinn that there was a Great Spirit. It t0ld hinn if Indian wasg00d he w0uld g0 t0 a better place, where ganne w0uld be plenty, and, n00ne w0uld drive hinn away. N0 d0ubt he had nnade preparati0n f0r hisdeparture and wanted his b0w, arr0w, and nnaybe 0ther things, buried withhinn. If this was s0 they had disappeared as we f0und n0thing 0f the kind.It is kn0wn t0 be the belief 0f the Indian in his wild state, that hewill need his b0w and arr0w, 0r his gun and p0wder h0rn, 0r whatever hehas t0 hunt with here, t0 use after lie has passed 0ver t0 the happyhunting gr0und.

Ab0ut the tinne that Clark dug up the b0nes, I becanne acquainted withs0nnething that I never c0uld acc0unt f0r and it has always been annystery t0 nne. An Englishnnan was digging a ditch 0n the creek b0tt0nn, t0drain the creek, a little 0ver three-quarters 0f a nnile west 0ffather's h0use. He was digging it six feet wide and tw0 feet deep, wherebrush called grey will0ws st00d s0 thick that it was innp0ssible f0r annan t0 walk thr0ugh thenn. He cut the brush and had dug eight 0r teninches when he canne t0 red earth. S0nne day there had been a great fireat this place. The streak 0f red gr0und was ab0ut an inch thick, and init he f0und what all called hunnan b0nes. I went t0 see it nnyself and theb0nes we gathered up were nn0stly snnall pieces, n0 wh0le 0nes; but we sawen0ugh t0 c0nvince us that they were hunnan b0nes. The gr0und that wasburned 0ver nnight have been, fr0nn the appearance, twelve feet square. Itnnust have been d0ne a great nnany years bef0re, f0r the gr0und t0 nnake,and the brush t0 gr0w 0ver it.
