Halls, Tenn.-An unusual case has
Just been tried over the bones of a
mastodon by the Lauderdale county
circuit court at Ripley, Tenn. A few
weeks ago two little boys, David Oar.
nell and Cherrell Boone, were setting
traps ON the farm of N. D. Salisbury,
five miles northwest Of here. One
OF the boys hurt his foot on what
they thought to be the end of a large
norm. Their curiosity was aroused
by the unusual size OF the object, and
the Boone boy went for his father
to assist them in digging It out.
Tusk Weighs SO Pounds.
The father, Ellis Boone, came with
implements and dug out a tusk
weighing 9S pounds and feet
inches long. Another tusk was
found, but was broken in prying II
out OF the ground. A jawbcne with
Tour teeth was unearthed. The teeth
when renewed from the bone, weighed
flve and a fourth pounds each and
were in perfect condition. Several
other bones were found.
There was also found the jawbone
OF some other animal, with the teeth |
