FIND MARKS OF AK
ON PETRIFIED Tree
II May Be Prehistoric Men
Made and Used Tool.

Great Falls, Mont.-Going to prove
that men Inhabited this part OF the
world In prehistoric times and even
then used axes and showed judgment
In Telling trees, Solomon Abbott OF
Shelby, north of this city, has devel-
oped startling evidence In this section.
Not far from the Sullivan ranch and
near the junction of Cut Bank creek
and Two Medicine creek there is a
butte, probably 450 or 500 feet above
the surrounding country and about
seven miles In circumference. 1t has
cut banks SO steep at every point that
they are impossible for cattle and
horses and at but n point Is a fence
needed to keep the animals on top Of
the butte.
The butte Is absolutely devoid OF
timber, but at one time on the summit
there grew a fine straight pine tree
two feet in diameter and not short OF
so to 100 feet high. This is proved by
the fact that the tree now lies full
length on the ground, cut into two foot
lengths, the ak marks discernible In
every cut of the wood. which is now
petrifed.
To fell the tree uphill, as was done,
1t had to be chopped on the side to-
ward which 1t was to fall almost en-
tirely, and the petriled stump shows
that this was done. Every one Of the
cuts, which hint of commercial pur-
poses for the wood, gives indisputable
evidence OF the woodman's ak.
Abbott is a pioneer and is believed
TO have been the first white man to
have climbed to the top Of the butte.
He found the petrifed tree just as 1t Is
today, and the wonder is in what age
was the tree cut and what sort Of peo-
Pile did 1t and with what sort of an AZ.

Kansas City.-For twelve hours a
Newfoundland dog stood guard oyer
the body of a bird dog run over the
other evening by a street car at indie
pendence and Indiana The
bird dog was so badly hurt Policeman

coaxing and sharp commands had to be
used before the men could go heal the
spot.
The two dogs have been seen togeth-
er frequently by persons living in the
neighborhood. The Newfoundland was
close by when the car ran over it's
mate. Immediately after the police
man shot the injured animal the other
dog took up the watch. When the off,
GER attempted to go near the dogs body
the Newfoundland resisted. Rather
than disturb this "~grieving companion"
Policeman Lasley allowed the remains
to lie all night on the street corner.
