Two were granted full pardons,

Yates Forrest d. Sebastian and JEFF

EARLY MAN FIGHTING ANIMAL
Ancestors of Present People Were
Called Upon to Face Beasts That
Inhabited Plains and Rivers.

The first houses were caves. Early
man was a fighting animal, and had to
contend against the huge and fcrOci-
)us beasts that infested the plains and
rivers, observes a writer. His dwelling
naturally had to be place of security
rs well as a habitatiOn. Caves were
natural and artificial the latter being
followed out of solid rock by rude flint
Instruments. Most of them were form
ID in the sides Of cliffs and among
high, rugged hills.
To those early ancestors of ours, the
primevul men and women VINO secured,
Is one would think, but scanty shelter
md protection from these stone caves
md holes in the rock, we apply the
generic term of cliff dwellers.
They were entirely ignorant of agri:
"U'ture, and subsiSted by hunting and
iShing and on the natural products
hey found growing in a wild state.
What is very remarkable, at our
| very doors can still be seen the typical
| louseS and handiwOrk of those pre-hiS-
;0ric tribes in the caves of the LancOS
river in southern Colorado. These, in
most instances, are as we'll preserved
IS when their ancient occupants de-
,erted them-perhaps 10000 years
ago. When inhabited they were reach
cd quite frequently by nOtches cut in
the rock, and at other times rope lad
ders must have been used.
