The long continued drought in
central and southern Iowa has
brought to light the petrified re-
mains Of some antediluvian mon
ster, over which the waters of the
Des Moines river have rolled for CEN
turtles. The resting place ofthis orig
inal first settler is in the little vii
lage Of Percy, in Marion county.
During the great drought of three
years ago, when the river was lower
than it had ever been within the
memory of the white men, S. R.
Dawson, a gentleman living near
Percy, claimed that ne had found a
"queer thing in the river near
town. The present dry spell proves
that Dawson was right, and that
his ''queer thing" is an extinct mon
ster Of gigantic proportions. The
head has become detached and lies
forty or fifty feet from the body,
which is now about fifteen yards in
length, Notwithstanding the fact
that several joints are missing At
q distance of thirteen feet from the
tip of the tail the stony monster is
four feet nine inches in breadth.-St.

be established he was sent off as a
free exile" that is, he was not kept
a prisoner or bound to penal service
in the place Of his destination. For
thirty-eight years he worked in Ok

wolves. At his old home he has a
