Discover F0ssiliZed
Skull of Tertiary
Period in Patagonia

BucnoS Aires, Feb. 26.-(By A. PO-
Discovery Of fossiliZed human skull
of the tertiary period was announced
today by DIR. J. G. Wolf, who has just
returned after two years of eXplora-
ton in Patagonia on behalf Of La
Plata Museum.
DR.. Wolf declared the fossilization
was that of tertiary sandstone and
that there was no doubt it was former
ly the skull of a human being, not an
accidental formation.
The scientist also announced the dis
covery of ruins of an ancient fortified
town in the heretofore uneXplored re-
gion north of Lake Cardiel. in the ter
ritory of Santa Cruz. which he believes
to be remnants of civilization prob
ably earlier than that of the Peruvian
Incas.
Sections Of walls As feet in height
built of blocks each of three cubic feet
cut out of basalt, are still standing.
The walls were carved with strange
hieratic inscriptions differing from the
Aztec Inca or the Chibcha in Colombia.
He roughly estimated the age of the
ruins at from 1000 to 5000 years.
DR.. Wolf plans to return to Patago-
MIA next month. when he is to search
for the enchanted city" Of Patagonian
Indian mythology. supposed to be sit
uated in the Andes.
THE fossilized skull is, Of course,
that of man who lived some millions
of years ago." said DIR. Wolf.

jail here after being spirited away
from the Jail at Van Buren, early to-
night to escape a crowd of men, a
mob estimated at 500 men surrounded
the local Jail shortly after 10 o'clock
and demanded the prisoners.
Automobiles bearing reinforce
ments arrived at brief intervals and
the strength Of the mob grew rapidly.
County officers locked all doors to
the Jail and stationed guards at the
windows and in the corridors.
Sheriff Pink Shaw addressed the
throng and warned that no person
would be permitted to enter the
prison. To attempt TO force an en-
trance. the sheriff said. would Invite

but we want those negroes" shouted
a voice from the mob in reply to the
sheriff.
Needing the pleas of county off,

that the law be permitted to take its
course. the mob quietly dispersed

Firm Action Probable.
If the plans of certain of the lead

no measure brought forward by any

brief it lis proposed that from now on
the administration shall take the Of

placed always on the defensive by
first one bloc and then another.
These plans have been brought
forward by republican leaders who
say they are no longer concerned
about President Coolidge's nomina-

deeply concerned as to his fate at the
