DISCOVER BONES 81
100000 YEARS OLD

Iowa City, Oct. %. - In the asphalt
beds of Rance La Brea, place eight
miles from Los Angeles, there have
been discovered the bones Of ground
sloths which lived two hundred thuos,
and years ago and we're as big as the
modern street car, according to re-
port Homer Dill, taxidermist, of this
University Of Iowa, has prepared on
the Investigation he made at Rancho
La Brea this summer.

In addition to the ground sloths, the
fossils of other extinct animals are
found. Among them are specimens Of
the great sabre-tooth tiger The ex-
cavations have brought to liglst also
the skeleton of human being.S This
type of man lived so long ago that the
scientists have to estimate the age of
his fossil in thousands of years. They
are sure that he came early in the evo-

SHERMAN CASE TO

TRIAL OF MAN ACCUSED or
TAKING MONEY. ~

Newton, Oct %. The criminal
cases for this term OF court begin on
Oct, rs and the first case is that 81
the state VS.. l., H. Sherman, who 10
accused of obtaining $32,5O0 from the
defunct bank OF Sully by false pre-
lenses.
The state alleges that l.. H. Shet
man traded stock In a mausoleum
company to the bank for notes which
he had given and an effort will be
made to prove that the stock wa
worthless.
Much interest is taken In this on ac
count of the fact that the hank waA
closed by state authorities and depos-
itors lost large sums.
Sherman was at one time associated
with his brother In the conduct and
ownership Of the bank, but later went
to California. He drew heavily from
the funds Of the bank and gave his
personal notes and these were cancel
led later by the transfer OF the mauso
leum stock.

STATE GEOL0G|sT
SOLVES PROBLEM
SAYS RISING OF TRACKS NEAR
RED OAK Is NOTHING PHE-
NOMENAL.

Iowa City, Oct. 20. There was
much excitement in southern Iowa last
summer over the bullying up of the
earth beneath the tracks of the Bur-
lington railroad. Many and varying
causes have been assigned In news
paper articles. One explanation was
that the bullying was due to pressure
Of an oil and gas field in the ground
below.
Professor George F. Kay, OF the Uni
versity Of Iowa, state geologist, tramp
ed over two hundred miles of the Bur.
lington right Of way during the latter
part Of the summer investigating the
phenomenon. Now he has issued q
statement explaining that the cause OF
the bullying is simply the pressure OF
the higher ground on each side OF the
track.
AS matter Of fact there Is moth.
Ing remarkable about such phenom.
ena under conditions such as prevailed
In the southern part of Iowa during
the past summer" Dr. Kay says In the
statement. "The material upon which
the track Is laid is clay, which, during
seasons of average rainfall, is fairly
resistant to pressure but during an alb
normally wet season such as the
season just past, becomes very plastic
and responds readily to pressure. The
rising ground is confined to where the
tracks are laid in railroad cuts, some
of which are more than sixty feet
deep The material in the slopes OF
the cuts is chiefly clay, some parts Of
which are gumbo like. During the
season just past these clays have be-
come extremely wet and soggy and
hence very heavy. The vertical pres
sure on either side OF the track at the
base of the cut is very great and &C
companying this Is lateral thrust
which causes the clay beneath the
tracks to rise.

COAL CITY PEOPLE
ARE IN SCHOOL FIGHT

\ Centerville, Oct. %. - The people OF
Coal City and vicinity are engaged at
the present time in dispute as to
whether or not new school house
should be built in the township The
people who favor the move say that
the school houses are now too far
apart and as a result many children
drop out of school in the winter. The
opposing side claims that all this could
be remedied by merely redividing the
township into different districts so
that the children would be nearer to
the school houses that they were sup
posed to attend. The debate is waxing
hot and in order to bring the matter
to close in the near future, COM
mittee came into Centerville for talk
with County Superintendent Janet
Wilson. She has promised to visit the
vicinity this week and thinks that the
matter will soon be settled to the sat
isfaction of all concerned.
