ND BONES OF i
PRIMITIVE MAN
Historic Skeleton Unearthed
Near Ellensburg, Wash.
About 6 Feet 8 lnches-Two
ss ,s of Teeth in Upper Jaw
Fossil Ages Old.

nr.rsburg, Wash.-A skeleton of
tive man, with forehead slop-
,rpctly back from the eyes and
:, TWO rows of teeth in the front of
inner Jaw, was uncovered here
:. contractors were excavating for
'ls snsrtment house on Craigs' Hill.
r pp hill is of the hogback formation
III the excavation was made on the
w. y. hill about 20 feet below the sur
Y, ond about 20 feet back from the
s,e of the slope.
NJ The skeleton was found in the GEM
-ock formation, over which was a
~ ln., nj shale rock. The rock was
r,factIy dry and doctors say that the
tssetOn could have remained in that
a,mation hundreds of years without
',ttipg The jaw bone, which broke
',srt when removed, is so large that
+TiIl 90 around the face of the man
t+oday. The other bones are also
"n,b larger than those of ordinary
nsn The femur bone is 20 inches
h,c which, according to scientific
n,1 would indicate that the man was
a inches tall, or approximately six
bet eight inches.
Dr.. ]. P. Munson, Phi. D., M. S.,
rcfessor of biological sciences in the
hate Normal school, and who lectured
tpfOre the International Biological
ODgress in Austria last summer, Wis
lied the spot and, after examining the
homes, pronounced them to be those of
smimitive man. The teeth in front
are rounded and all are worn fiat al
most down to the jaw bone, which,
Dr. Munson states, is due to eating OF
Knocked foods and the crushing OF
hard substances.
The sloping skull, he says, shows an
extremely low order of intelligence,
far earlier than that Of the Indians
known to the white settler.
The skeleton, perfectly preserved,
was exposed when blast of dynamite
Oosened the cement rock so that when
N. E. Root, who is employed by Mr..
Belch, again approached the hillside
he saw, cleaning from the rock, 9
skull.
No effort was made to modest the
remainder of the skeleton till later in
the afternoon, when the small son OF
Contractor Belch was told by his faith
er of the discovery. With the aid OF
q pick the boy uncovered a perfect
skeleton.
Craig's Hill, which runs along the
eastern edge of the city, is supposed
to be of glacial formation, although
some believe that the hill is delta Of
river which once flowed from the
Nahum canyon across the valley into
Yakima canyon countless ages ago.

In spots all over my head. My scalp

the sores healed up, and crusts
formed on the top. Then the hair fell
out and left me three bald spots the

than II doctor, but could not get any
relief, so I started to use the Cuticura
