Des Moines river about three miles east
Of Ogden, yesterday, Attorney Frank
Porter and S. P. Clark, of Ogden, dis
covered the mammoth skull Of some
great prehistoric animal.
While walking up the creek bank
they saw where the recent heavy rains
had caused the earth to cave and wash
away, leaving exposed the skull and
some other bones of some gigantic an
imal; they secured the skull and
brought it to town, where it has been
placed on exhibition in the State Bank
window.
The place where it was found was
about sixteen feet below the surface
of the ground, which shows it had
been imbedded there for ages.
The skull resembles the skull Of
some gigantic buffalo and measures
twenty two and one-fourth inches be-
tween the horns, and altho it has un-
doubtedly been imbedded in the grav-
ely bank of the creek for thousands
Of years is in good state of preserva.-
ton and is almost petrif1ed.
The place where it was discovered is
only about mile and half from the
mound recently opened by the Iowa
Historical society.

torical value and the State Historical
