charged. Lamothe was wanted as
a witness on a divorce case and Dep
uty Sheriff Davis was sent after him.
Lamothe received word that the

ran into the woods and hid. Mr..

A Surfe;t of Fossils.

1t is, says Prof Eenry Fairfield Os-
borne of the United States Geological
Survey, an extremely slow and diff
cult matter to prepare a fossil for ex-
hibition purposes The collections of
a single season may require more
than two years TO work out The re-
suit is that all Of our museums are
collecting much faster than they can
digest, and every cellar is full or
boxes of fossil treasures not avail
able to the public simply because there
has not been time 10 mount them.
Obviously, this is a difficulty when
every year increases, fer if it requires
two years to work up one seasons
collections, when thee axe bat half
done another two years supply Eas
been accumulated. Thas has
been going on in some museums .vr
a number of years, and their exh:bi-
lions are now from ten TO twenty
years behind their collections. Prof.
