for browning or finishing gun barrels,
the following Is recommended.
Remove the old finish with an
emery cloth and polish the gun bar

cotton apply solution made of the
following:

Set the gun barrel away 10 dry
thoroughly and then repeat until
seven or eight coats have been ap-
piled. After the barrel has had
plenty OF time 10 dry wash thorough
ly with a cloth and hot water, and
polish with q piece OF soft wool
dampened with linseed oil.
For reducing barrels without heat
ing the following applies:
Wipe the gun barrel free and clean

apply nitric acid, using care TO see

license forces carry out their plans to
institute a contest in circuit court of
the election in which Aberdeen voted
out the saloons on a tie vote, and the

mediately be taken to put in a NUM-
clap saloon in Aberdeen.
The municipal saloon is operating at

that town went dry" Under the NUM-
cipal saloon plan. a company is formed
which takes out licenses for all the sa-
looms permitted under the state law. In
Aberdeen the number Is IS. and the Ii
cense that would be required from the
municipal saloon would be S19,S00, the
saloon license here being S1,100. Under
the plan, a manager Is employed who
has complete charge of the municipal
saloon. After paying all expenses, in
Guiding h licenses, the net profits

RARE PREHISTORIC FOSSIL
UNEARTHED NEAR WINNER

Winner, S. D., May 1.-The skele-
ton of a prehistoric dinosaur was I'M
earthed by a dredging crew at work on
the city waterworks, near Shoemaker
Springs, four miles south of Winner.
While the ditching machine was in OPP
GRAFTON in an unusually deep cut it sud
denly brought to the surface among the
debris several huge bones resembling
the paddles of a rowboat.
The workmen were amazed to find so
far below the surface the bones of
what they at first thought to be an
enormous buffalo. The bones were so
large that they stopped the work of
the dredger. Councilman Barnum, pres
tdent Of the Bank of Winner, who was
present, at once recognized the bones
to be those of some prehistoric animal
or reptile and had a few of them
brought to Winner, where parts of the
vertebrae and the extended shoulder
or fin structure were fitted together.
The paddle shaped structures, which
extended upward from the vertebrae,
measured in the neighborhood of six
feet. This rib was curved like the rib
of an ordinary animal. A socket in the
vertebrae allowing the rib to fit in was
found. While the large structural bones
stand above the spinal column, the ribs
extend downward. This popularity en-
abled Prof. Bruce Backus and others
versed in archaeology to identify the
find as belonging to the prehistoris din
OSaur.
