.TRIL LOBIIE IN CONNECIYCUT? NIX!
HIS VOTING PLACE is INDIANA
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press
NORWALK, Conn, March 18.-
It looked for awhile as if Norwalk
was about to write a new chapter
into the geological history of the
United States. when layman last
month discovered near an old
quarry what was found to be the
perfect remains of a trilobite.
Librarians translated "trilobite'
as the fossiliZed remains of king
Crab who ruled the waters of the
earth millions Of years before the
advent of man. 1t was thought
that the discovery might throw
bright CLEANS on the extent of
animal life in North America in
the days when glaciers were in
fashion.
How Comet How Comet
Then the geologists. backed with
store of knowledge and a deep
reserve of skepticism, began to
cast doubt. How Gomez" they
asked.
Trilobites worthy OF social recog-
milton usually nestled down to be
be preserved for posterity in Cam
brian, Ordovician or Silurian
rocks. Yet Connecticut boasts of
no rocks of this age. Neverthe-
less. the triIobite was sure

enough, I00-carat king Grab
whose regality was not to be dis
puted.
So Ben T. Nash, the layman who
innocently picked up the fossil
without intending to bring FUR
rows to scientific brows, again was
consulted. All he could say was
that he had just found it and that
he couldn't be expected to supply
a family history of this particular
kind of crab.
He Came From Indiana.
Then newspaper men. who first
had wrestled with the scientific
polysyllable, focused their atten-
tion on the trilobite. They came
to the conclusion that he never
was a resident of Connecticut, but
was entitled to vote in Indiana.
In this manner they came to
their conclusion:
A few months ago there lived in
Norwalk a man who once had his
residence near the Bedford lime
stone quarries in Indiana. He
also was known to have had sew
eral specimens Of trilobites.
When he moved away from Nor
walk he left a number of his be-
longings behind him. These later
were thrown on a dump near the
spot where the trilobite waved a
merry claw.

There were no pronounced tidal
