OXNARD, Cal.-It remained for the

% and Customs.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. = A lost
world, inhabited by birds with leather
wings and teeth, and thousands OF
other strange and weird creatures. has
been found In the Usage hills in a
wild and only partially explored sec.
ton of northwestern Oklahoma. The
tale Of the lost world was brought here
by John Bruno, a member of the Usage
Indian tribe, who has a reputation as
an explorer,
The story told by Bruno Is as
strange as that related by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle In 1.-THE Lost World" and
II has the advantage of being possible
Of verffication.i Bruno, himself, is now
making plans to equip a large explor-
ing party and next spring he will go
again into the Usage hills determined
to bring back concrete proof OF his
story. Wt q
The lost world, according to Bruno,
Is located on a plateau about a mile
high, the sides of which are so steep
that tits impossible to climb them un-
assisted. He was alone when he found
the plateau and was unable to scale
the precipitous cliffs
But what convinced him that animal
life on the plateau was the same as
that which existed several hundred
years ago was the result of hunting
trip. Bruno saw a bird, OF strange APP
pearance, and he. shot 1t. He found
that 1t had leather wings without
feathers and that its mouth was fur
nished, with a complete set Of teeth.
Altho he did not know that the bird
answers>to the name of pterdactyl In
science, he did realize that II was a
strange species. islaR SESSIONS g.
h So steep were the cliffs leading up
to the plateau on all sides that the
animals on the summit were unable to
descend and the men below were SO
far away that they could not distin-
guish their characteristics except that
they were different from all animals
known to the huntsmen.f - '5ti'
So Bruno decided to return to civili-
cation and get an outfit which would
enable him and his friends to return
to the Usage hills. scale the cliffs Of
the mysterious plateau. and see at
first hand the mysteries of the life
existing there. ..s
Z The plateau is completely isolated
from surrounding country. But Bruno
says that with the aid Of ropes and
plenty of men he believes the cliffs
can be scaled. EF q
Heavy rifles will be carried by the
men making up the party n the ex-
pectation that they may meet with
some of the great animals described
in books devoted to prehistoric animal
life.
Bruno only talks Of his experience
to those who are intimate with him.
He fears he will not be believed be-
cause of the strangeness of his story.
But he swears he tells the truth and
he is determined to prove to the most
cynical that the lost world really
exists. He is determined to bring back
to civilization specimens of strange
animal life, carcasses, and skins.
