Old Indian Cache Found, After 60 Years Six sacks of penmmioan, thought to have been buried asa food reserve by Indians at least 60 years ago, were plowed up near .I.rma, during the•past season by Eldon Fenton, it was learned recently. The incident recalls a ; sirnilar discovery some months ago, near Crossfield;' in the south of the province. Each sack was made of buffalo hide and weighed about five pounds. They were cached, in a hole in the prairie north of Grattan coulee, far. ed' as a buffalo run in the days when the herds- roamed the prairies and were hunted, Mr. Fenton' had brush- ed about the hole.' In breaking the virgin soil in a district first home- steaded 30 'years ago, the plow turned, up the sacks. Breaking one open with . a pick -axe, he found the meat in the 'centre soft and apparently well ; preserved. 'Chewing. some of it, Mr.' Fenton said he found It tasty, .having been preserved with wild :cherries which showed red and the stones of .which he found therein. As the buffalo were practically •ex; . tinct in 1879, it is thought this cache must have been placed some, years be " fere that.
