FINDS INDICATE
GIANTS LIVED
IN CALIFORNIA
Bones Show Ancient Race
Was Twice Size of Pres
emf Men.
BuTrjted Press

STOCKTON. Cal, June 14-The
theory that a race Of giant men
once inhabited the San Joaquin
valley. advanced by DR.. J. Kroeck,
professor Of biology at the College
of the Pacific, now is supported BY
new evidences.
Two railway employees, Frank
Fesrrara and Earl Cusilidge, have
revealed the discovery of a cavern
in CaIayeras county Uttered with
the remains of more than 200 skel-
etons. the bones Nof which are of
unusual size,
Fesrrara and Cusilidge said that
skulls found in the cavern were
much larger than those Of the pres
ent DAY race, They said that jaw
bones were twice the size of a nor
nal mans and that rib formations
were nearly the size Of a steers.
The men noted one peculiar thing
that leg bones were much smaller
than those of the man of today.
DR.. Kroeck believes that bones of
the giants" and those of a race
of dilninutiYes" have become mixed.
That the ancient people, no mat
ter what their stature was, were
accomplished artisans, is proven by
a stone bowl discovered in the
cavern.
The bowl is of granite, five inches
in depth and fourteen inches in di-
ameter, and is said to be far SUI
perior in workmanship to any of
the known Indian tribes.
DR.. Kroeck can not explain how
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-06-14

the bones were preserved, for they
apparently date back to the time
when this section of California was
the coast line, judging from shell
fish remains found with them.
FeSrrara and Cusilidge were hunt
ing when they discovered the cav
ern. They came across a small hole
in the side Of a hill Dropping
pebble in the opening, they found
1t took eight seconds to hit the bot

Later they returned to the hole.

 Fresh impetus to the movement to. have . night policeman on duty in Kensington was imparted this morning when it was announced that two men had attempted gain entrance to two houses in Kensing- ton last night and the night before. The home of Jeremiah Hart near Upson's corner in Remington was the first one to be selected. About o'clock Friday morning, Mr. Hart heard dogs barking and. looking out, saw two men trying to gain entrance at the back of the house. They later went to the front and were frightened away when Mir. Hart put on the lights in the house. Last night Samuel skene. who lives on Hastings street just east of Upson' | corner, was awakened by men try ing to force an entrance at the rear of his home.

 The matter has been of much dis cussion in Kensington during the past few weeks. As yet there have been no conyictiobs for these hold. ups and entries.

 Plans are being made in the New Britain common council to send . delega0on to the selectmen of this town with the request that the car- nivals in the future be moved from the New Britain town line. There has been considerable opposition to having the travelling shows in New Britain. and at the present time they are not allowed within the city Him. is. This is overcome by choosing [ lot at the city line and drawing the crowds from New Britain with the same surety as if they were located in the city itself.
 The owners of the present carni- val were in trouble . few days ago when they advertised the grounds as in Willow Brook park. which is in New Britain. The actual location of the grounds is next to the park and almost on the New Britain line.
 It is not known that the Berlin officials have any objection to them, and the residents of the town feel that there is no harm in letting them bs in town. The grounds after the completion of the show have d. ways been left in . respectable con- dition. and if this is done in the fu- ture it is not expected that any ac- ton will be taken by the Berlin of ficials.
