A large crowd assembled at the office of
Justice Carr at o'clock yesterday after
noon. to witness the trial of the case of the
state of Maryland against Jos. A. Blundon,
contractor for the Columbia and Maryland

the charge of cruelty to animals. The

John Garner Constable Hickey assisted
by Jack Bowles and several other men,
stopped the teams of Mr.. Blundon few
days ago from work on the contract for
grading the road for the new electric rail-
way through Riverdale, on the ground that
the horses and mules were being ill-treated.
warrant was issued for the arrest of the
drivers, and the case was set for trial at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Messrs.
James c. and Joseph S. Rogers appeared
for the state, and Messrs. Jackson H. Raj

BUILDING Up A MASTODON.
The Interesting Result of Finding
and Putting Together Many Bones.

The Interesting Result of Finding
and Putting Together Many Bones.
From the Chicago Daily Tribune
Something that attracts many visitors to
Earlham College, the Quaker institution To-
Gated at Richmond. Ind, is the mastodon
skeleton recently completed. 1t was the
work of months to put 1t in place, but the
result is the college has one of the very
finest specimens of the kind in the world.
1t stands in the museum beside the skeleton
of ",rippo Sahib," Van Amburgh's big ele-
plant, which was secured at the time of the
death of that animal. For fifteen years a
part of the skeleton mas been in the posses
sion of the college. The bones composing
this part were dug out not far, from New
Paris, Ohio, and included tusk, which was
about eleven feet long, q few Verta5rae,
quite a collection of ribs, leg anu various
smaller scraps.
Later on some fra gmenJs were obtained on
the Lloyd farm, each Of this city. and also
a lower jaw with all the teeth. This latter
was from Nettle Creek, near Dalton, in
Wayne county. Several years later the best
find in eastern Indiana was made in south
ern Randolph county, where the head Gladly
decayed), one tusk, a perfect lower jaw, of
extraordinary proportions, containing its
full complement Of teeth, about half the
spinal column, nearly all the ribs, tha thigh
bones, and nearly all the bones of the feet,
were uncovered. The Randolph county find
was 1t and the New Paris remnant were SO
exactly the same scale that the lacking
parts of one were nearly supplied by the
parts of the other Parts missing were SO
easily and naturally supplied by means of
plaster and paper pulp casts that an expert
only could distinguish the real bone from the
Test.
The feet bones-about bushel and a half
of them-were sent to Lansing, Mich, to
have the missing members supplied. The
dozen or more pieces into which the great
Uranium had crumbled We're placed in the
hands of Prof. Ward of Rochester. NY,
and were so firmly put together that the
massive lower jaw, which was sound and
weighed nearly 100 pounds, could be hung
to it. 1t cost over 500 to get the head in
good shape. The skull weighs 800 pounds
or more.
A whole fossil monster of this kind is rare
One has recently been mounted fer the State
University al Columbus, Ohio and the finest
one In the world is in the Warner Museum at
Boston. Mass. The Earlham mastodon ex-
cells this in some features, however. being
three inches taller and having a much broad
er skull. The greatest height of the Earl
ham mastodon is IL feet 3 inches total
length 10 feet inches. and the weight about
LOO pounds. By careful estimate the weight
when living must have been over 10000
pounds.
