Fossil remains Of prehistoric animals
would not have been preserved and

Fortunately for the scientists Of to-
day, when these animals persisted the
rock which holds their remains was
merely soft mud or drifting sand. 1t

held 1t tight from air aud water and
during the intervening ages passed
through the various processes until 1t
became solid rock.

Is because the crust of the earth is
like paper wrapping. folding and
crumbling under the pressure Of the
gases aud fre of the interior. with the
result that here and there the crust has
been turned upside down. SO that the
lower strata Of rock are ON top.

ATTORNEY JtSSUp
A GOOD SPRIhTER
Shows a Bull in a Snow Cow
cred Field Some Very
Fancy Running.

Before a vast assemblage of snow
flakes. on a snow covered ten-acre
srena, on the farm Of Adam Howard,
Clay township, near bull fight was
pulled off Sunday afternoon.
Attorneys Fred White and Wilfred
lJessup. Clay township trustee Charles
Bond, and others, who are interested
in a petition to open a road through
Howard's farm, which came up on
hearing in the circuit court Monday,
visited the farm In order to get infor-
nation concerning the case. Mr.. How
ard. who Is opposing the opening OF
the road through his farm, because OF
the small damage assessment offered
him. had placed the bull in pasture
which had to be traversed by the at.
torneys and their party
When the attorneys and others dis
mounted from their rig, climbed the
fence and unfolded the road plat and
carefully studied the heavy red lines
OF the proposed road. they noticed a
four.leggcd animal at the other end of
the field standing by a fodder stack.

ever Mr.. Bull was so far away they
felt safe
After about fifteen minutes. the par
~ was startled on hearing long
drawn out "whoop" behind. Standing
about nifty feet away tossing great
clouds Of snow on his back and neck,
tWirling his tail in true circle, ears
back. and exhaling ten foot streams of
steam from his blood red nostrils. was
Mr.. Bull uttering his challenge to COM
bat.
The disciples OF Blackstone tried to
argue with the indignant lord of the
pasture. Nothing doing.
Then came the retreat across the
vast expanse Of the great white way.
For some unknown reason the animal
;yicked out attorney Jessup for his
lpeacemaker. II was a wild race about
the COW lot. the attorney. who is six
foot two and built for speed. showing

distance between himself and the bull

to the attorney who took 1t gracefully
