Road construction workers in the Garden Springs area let loose a dynamite blast – and were showered with human skulls and bones.
Apparently, they had blasted an ancient Indian burial ground. They found the remains of “probably a dozen bodies” as well as arrowheads and brass decorative items.
The workers said they had no idea that they were blasting a burial ground. There was no particular uproar over this, as there would be today. The workers simply gathered up the bones and reburied them nearby.
