FINDS RARE BONES
IN THE BAD LANDS

New York. Dec. 27.-Fragmenta-
nv evidence of unclassified prehistoric
rodents and reptiles has been found
by Albert Thompson. paleontoiogist,
in the ranchlands of Nebraska, where
in former years research workers
have uncovered the remains OF masto-
dons. rhinoceroses, giant camels, alli-
Gators. dwarf horses and other queer
beasts.
The bones of the strange animals
were uncovered on a ranch in Sioux
County while Mr.. Thompson VINO Is
a member of the archaeological re-
search staff of the American Museum
of Natural History was searching for
skeletons of three-toed dwarf horses.
Mr.. Thompson began the study OF
paleontology while employed as cow
how in the Dakota Bad Lands more
than thirty years ago. He was especi-
ally interested in the remains OF the
three-toed horse and other types OF
beasts of the same family.
In the interest of this work he went
70 Nebraska early last summer. AID
ed bv several students he began Dig
pinr in a channel bed that appeared
TO he rich in bones of all sorts. He
found bits o fthe dwarf horse, OF the
alligator and of other animals, and
then he came upon pieces of skull
the character of which was new TO
him.
He delved further in an effort to
uncover complete skeletons. His stud
emit helpers returned to their schools
and he kept on alone, but had no
further success.
Bad weather finally set in and Mr.
Thompson was compelled to abandon
his work. He had however, collected
hundreds of bones and skulls of great
research value. He plans to return
to Sioux City next year and resume
work in the channel bed.
"Western Nebraska undoubtedly, IS
the richest field in America for this
sort of work." said Mr.. Thompson re-
Gently and we hope to make startling
discoveries. l shall return next sum-
mer and make an effort to find com.
plete skeletons of the strange type OF
rodents and reptiles of which we have
fragments"

Ocean View Asks
To Be Left Out
Bayside Suburb Objects to Being
Annexed to Norfolk-Moye
For An Injunction

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 27.~Norfolk's
annexation proceedings, scheduled to
become effective January l, are
threatened with being disrupted by
action taken by the citizens Of Ocean
View, have asked an injunction re-
straining the city from anneXing that
community along with the % square
miles Of Norfolk county provided in
the annexation agreement. The argu
ment on the injunction will be heard
before Judge McLemore in the Nanse
mond Circuit Court, Suffolk, tomor-
row.
The Ocean View petitioners have
three counts, one Of which asks that
the entire annexation proceedings,
passed on in the courts July "a, last,
be thrown out. The next step asks
that Ocean View be not included in
the annexation.
City Attorney Petross said today
he was much disturbed over the sit
uation, which threatens to withhold
annexation of the new territory, even
if it does not throw the entire pro-
seedlings out of court.
The third count in the petition
points out that the annexation agree
ment was reached before Judge Holt,
appointed by Governor Trinkle from
another circuit to hear the proceed
ings, and that this act makes the
annexation unconstitutional.
In case Judge McLemore decides
against the petitioners an apneal will
be taken to the Supreme Court, it
was stated today, and this will most
likely tie up the actual annexation for
several months, it was feared by city
officials today.
