SCIENTIST UNEARTHS
BONES OF ELEPHANT
DEAD 10000 YEARS
Believe Animal Roqmed
Kansas During Last
Glacial Period.

Hutchinson. Han. March What
are said to he the fossil bones of an
imperial elephant which roamcd Kan
sas. during the last glacial period,
were dug mp yesterday afternoon by
Prof. Harvey Niningcr of the bioloS-
zeal department of Mcpherson College.
and party from the bed of dry
creek OH the farm Of Jesse kagaricc,
twelve miles southwest of here.
Mr.. Kagarico first discovered the
large bones in the creel. bed four years
ago but before he could remove the
fossil from the creek bed. it was GOV
cred up by shifting sands. With the
creek bed dry. the professor and col-
lege students dug four feet before
they unedrthed the skull of the pre-
historic beast. As soon as the huge
bone was exposed to the air. it de
composed and shattered. although most
of the fragments were preserved by
the use of plaster of Paris.
Professor Nininger also got por-
ton of a tooth from the animal and
the remnants of tusk. The tooth
was obtained at the same spot four
years ago and was preserved By Mr..
kagaricc.
The discoveries will be added to the
museum of Mcpherson College.
Professor Nininger said the i'm
perial elephant whose bones were
found may have been dead for $1,000
10 10000 years. The animal closely
resembled the modern elephant only
il was a third larger and had curved
tusks fifteen tret in length.
