Jaw of Some Huge Animal Found In
New Mexico.

Jaw of Some Huge Animal Found In
New Mexico.
The fossil remains of a strange pre-
historic animal were discovered at
postmaster Nusbaum's ranch, at Tesu-
que. Alphonso Dockweiler, who has
charge of digging ditch through a
ridge on the ranch, picked up a piece
or petrlfied bone the shape of large
tongue, but with row of - teeth
along what seemed to be the tin of
the. tongue. He dug a little further
and found the remainder of what
seemed to be the jaw of an animal
that was part ichthyosaurus and part
plesiosaurus, with part of the charac-
terlstlcs Of the pterodactyl perhaps.
The Jaw consisted Of about 20 layers of
bone in the shape of a tongue, and each
layer was armed with a dozen teeth,
which showed that the animal was
herblvorous and not carnivorous.
These 20 layers were evidently the up-
per Jaw Of the animal. Mr.. Dock
weller expects to find the lower Jaw
and perhaps all of the remains of. the
strange animal AS much as he has
found he will bring to this city. and
from here ship it to the Smithsonian
institution in Washington. Two lay
ers OF the jaw were brought to the city
by j. G. Schumann and shown to
friends, who were all puzzled by their
unusual shape. It is well known that
the surroundings of Santa Fe abound
with submarine fossil remains, which
seem to prove that in long-gone-by
ages the site of the city was covered
by a sea. Only half a mile up the
arroyo and canyon that branch off
Palace avenue, near the old brewery.
pretty petrified seashells are to be
found. At many other places there are
unmistakable signs of the erosion of
waves and the footprints of gigantic
animals that probably made their
home both in the water and on the
land when: the highest peak of the
Rocky mountain range were only ISL
ands in vast ocean.-Santa Fee New
American. 80. -.

Theodore Durant,

It will be remembered was
hung a year or more ago for the
murder of two girls in IA church
in San Francisco purely on cir
cum stantial evidence, protesting
his innocence to the last. The
case was carried to the supreme
court of the United States but he
was hung. Now the preacher
in charge of the church at the
time has recently died and con
fessed he committed the murders
No man ought to be hung on cir
cumstantial evidence, as TINS
case proves.
