SKELETONS.
Bones of Two Male Hawaiians Found in the New Stream Channel.
While at work upon the new channel of Nuuanu stream near the McGregor premises above Smith street bridge Monday afternoon, Fogarty's gang of men dug up two skeletons of human beings in a well preserved condition. They were of male Hawaiians, all of six feet in length and were lying side by side. As no record of any burial in that locality can now be found, the mystery evidently originated in the dim past when Mr. Reynolds did not have the keeping of the books in his hands.
