An Antediluvlan Monster.

Mr.. Eenry Woodward owns Q stock
ranch in the Indian Territory, in the
Peoria Nation, on which Is situated the
big sulphur spring. The spring is sur
rounded by quagmire which is very
deep and " slushy," and So soft that it
will not bear any considerable weight.
Mr.. w. lately undertook 10 curb up a
spring in order to get water more
easily, and while working in the mire
came upon what appeared to be an
enormous bone.
He ct once began an examination,
which disclosed the startling fact that
it was the head of some mammoth
beast. His curiosity was aroused, and,
with the assistance of three other men,
he began the work of excavation. For
four days they worked. but did not
succeed in bringing the monster to the
surface. They threw off the mari, but
could not lift the head Of this golitic
giant. They found the skeleton well
preserved. and the immense teeth still
set in the jaws. The jaws were both
in place, and the spinal column at
tached to the Uranium.
The earth was thrown off from the
body to the length II twenty feet. but
still the gigantic skeleton remained be-
meath. Three Of the front ribs were
forced out, and pro Sed by measurement
to be eight feet 10 length. The DIRT
was removed from the inside of the
ssseous structure. and there Icy the
skeleton Of human being. with 1902
flint arrow points and fifteen flint
knives.
The Uranium indicated that it was
the skeleton Of an Indian 1t would
have been impossible for the man to
have been inside the animal without
having been swallowed by him, and this
theory is snbstantisted by the fact that
the bones of the right side of the skele-
ton were broken aud smashed. appa-
rcntly by force. The monster, there
fore. must have been csrniverous.
which 10 also proven by the teeth. which
exhibit the marked characteristics of .
hesh-eating beast. A large molar ard
two incis0rs, taken from the upper jaw.
have been exhibited to us, the largest
ono weighing exactly eight pounds, and
measuring eight by four inches in size.
There are two large molars and two
blunt tusks on each side of each Jaw;
the teeth between the molars and tusks
are incisors, having from two to six
points. and corresponding prongs to
each tooth. In front of the tusks the
teeth are similar to those of most csrni-
verous animals in shape. All the bones
indicate that they have been buried for
an Incredibly long period. as they
crumbie rapidly when brought in con-
tact with the atmosphere.
Every circumstance goes to show that
these are the largest animal remains
ever resurrected, and the teeth. tusks
and structure Of the head and jaws
prove unmistkably that it was Of the
carniverous class.

After the objections were read, the
