INTERESTING FOSSIL
PRINTS.

From tie Punxsutawney Spirit.
Perhaps as fine specimens of the
fossil footprints Of the labyrintho-
dant reptile known as the cheirotbe-
rum ever discovered are to be seen
upon rocks taken from the quarry Of
Ephrair Adams, just north of Punk
srteuney. The name Of cheirothe-
rlum wrs given TO this animal he.
cause Of the fact that its footprints
resemble somewhat Il rude and stubby
human hand. The impression that
ore not versed in the scierce Of pale
ontology would naturally receive
from lookicg at the tracks is that the
feet that made them belong to an
animal resembling the bear. But
these who make a speciality OF this
subject have determined that the
tracks were made by huge amphi-
bian of the lizard family. These
tracks are to be seen in solid gray
sandstone rock in Mr.. Adams's quarry
eighteen feet below the surface.
Every track, as the animal walked
across thirty feet of exposed r. ok, is
plainly visible. The rock stratum in
which these footprints are found be
longs TO the reptilian sge, before
there were any mammals upon the
face of the whole earth, and SO long
ago that il makes one dizzy to think
OF it.

TURFMEN UNDER THEIR
HOR = ES.

An Accident took place on tie
Hollidaysburg race track last Friday
afternoon that was thrilling in it's
nature and in all probability will re
suit i'll the death Of bold rider. 1t
was the occasion of the Blair county
Fair. Two Altoona turfmen, Samuel
Shaw, ard S. b Barnes, were riding
their own horses in running race,
in a half mile race. While the
horses were running like the wind
Barnes horse stumbled, and executed
a complete somersault, "throwing
his rider and also the horse ridden
by Mr.. Shaw, and the horses in the
rear running on to them.
1t is thought that one of the other
horses jumped upon Barnes side.
Mr.. Barnes was picked up upcon-
scious and removed to the Altoona
Hospital with little hopes of bis re-
covery. Shaw was less seriously in
jured and was taken to his home in
Altoona"
