KANSAS BIG ELEPHANT,

Years Ago.

He Was Found Recently But Lived Many
Years Ago.
Kansas has always been noted for the
large number Of fossil remains found
within the borders of the state, and It
was for this reason that Prof, Willis-
ton severed his connection with Yale
college to accept q position as profess
sor Of paleontology in the state univer-
sity at Lawrence. The professor has
devoted his time to the collecting and
classification OF the fossils and now he
has received notice that an immense
fossil elephant has been found In the
arid region among the sand hills In the
western part Of the state.
The measurements show that the
animal in life was a monster indeed
and that It was larger than any nam
moth remains which have ever been
discovered 1t is sixteen fect from the
sole OF the foot to the point Of the
shoulder and its length Is proportiouate
with the height. II Is the elm of Prof.
Williston to get the specimen intact and
place II by the side Of the immense
megatherium which Is now the pride of
the institute at this city. As this Is the
drst mammoth remains which hayo
been found In Kansas 1t excites much
interest among sclcntist3 as well as tho
curiosity of the general public.

In conversation with the New York

moved up to Sevcnty-second street, and
in another year we moved still one
more street uptown.
"This we continued to do for several
years. During the time was prosper

children were bright and healthy. We
got TO thinking about our even fortunes
one night ut Christmas time, and it sud-
denly occurred to my wife that we were
literally keeping pace with the time
that we had lived, since first coming to
the city, In the street which CORE
sponded to the year Of the century.
Well, we came to grow superstitious
about 1t, and kept on moving up one
street each year. We arc nearly ready
now to move to Ninety-sccond street.

Fate of u Man Who Was Evidently TAX
ing II Free Ride.
A man somewhere between % and 30
years of age, and whose name is supposed
to be George Ramsey, WAS found alongside
she railroad track by the eastbound North
ern Pacific freight yesterday afternoon. He
was badly hurt and his skull was crushed.
Engineer John Powers saw the man lying
near the track and stopped the train. Con-
ductor Andy Hogan and the other train
hands picked the man Ut. carefully placed
him in a car and tool HIM to Elliston. The
railroad doctor at that point did all he
could for the injured man, but when En-
eineer Angus Mcdonald left there last
night the case was considered hoy eless. II
is thought by the railroad people that the
man was riding on the westbound through
freight which passed Elliston at 12:45 p. M.
and that he fell Off. The westbonnd and
eastbound frsights pass at Avon. eight
miles west of Elliston. Boyd, the point
where the man was found, is about half
way between the two points. The only
thing on the man to establish his identity
was an employment pass issued by r. ].
Orris, of this city, on a firm at Wolf
Creek. The name on the pass was George
Ramsay. No one at Elliston, where Ram
say ia supposed to have taken the train, re-
members seeing him there.

BUTTE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.

The City Refuses To Pay for 1t and Is
Sued.
The Germania Safety Vault and Trust
company, Of Kentucky. as the assignee of
the Gaynor Fire Alarm company, of the
same state. brought suit in the southern
division of the United States circuit court
yesterday against the city of Butte to re.
cover 81, $50 for a fire alarm system fur
nished the city. The plaintiff claims that
the Gaynor company made q contract on
Dec. 90. 1889, to furnish the system for the
amount stated, 1t is also claimed that tho
city of Butte refused to pay on the ground
that the system had not been constructed
in accordance with the contract. An agree
ment was then made whereby tho city WAS
to trv the system for one year from March
II, 1891. Under this agreement and the
resolutions of the city council the plaintiff
claims the city became bound to pay for it
in the event it should complp during that
time with all the conditions imposed. The
plaintiff says the system proved satisfao-
tory during the year but that payment has
been refused.
