Police: Digging workers find human bones in Cheyenne yard

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Police say workers found human bones while digging in a back yard in Wyoming’s capital city. Investigators don’t suspect foul play.

They learned the home in downtown Cheyenne was built on a burial site dating to the 1870s. The workers discovered the bones during sewer work Tuesday.

Police referred the case to the local coroner and state anthropologist.
