Citizen of Moundridge Finds Tooth of Prehistoric Monster in Twenty-five Foot Sand Pit
(Special correspondence to the Kansam).
Mountdorpe, Sept. 25. — Frank Davis, an 80-year-old citizen of this community, more commonly known as "Dad" Davis, discovered in a graveyard a small tool of some prehistoric beast that to room the Kansas priests.
As yet no scientist or paleontologist has been given the opportunity to examine the specimen. The find, however, is unquestionably a fossil tooth, measuring five inches long by three and a quarter inches in size is perfect and not broken as so many are when found in isolated places.
The tooth is remarkable from a scientific angle in that the upper or grinding surface has not been worn smooth from long use by its original possessor. Instead the tooth still has enamel, which provides protection, indicating, some believe, that the animal shed the molar in youth or never lived to a ripe old age.

Porker Trapped in Cave; Food Carried to Anima
Residents of Shepherdsville, Ky., are telling of a story which was brought down from the sparsely settled regions of Bullitt县. A hog is a prisoner in a cave in the hills, and no way has been devised to liberate the animal. The 300-pound pearl, owned by Jesse Mann, is said to be trapped 80 feet from the entrance of the
Mann is to be carrying food into the cave regularly and feeding his animal. His neighbors have suggested that the hog be allowed to go hungry in the hope that it may shrink enough to work free.
Practice Intra-Mural Basketball Practice for the Intra-mural basket ball teams is being held every night for those who wish to try to play. There have been definitely chosen yet, but those for the tournament will be selected soon.
The discovery is of further interest as it came from an immense sand pit which is supplying the material for road improvements over a large section here. It is entirely possible that the wheels of autos and wagons are grinding to dust fossil specimens of great scientific value.
Regulations for the members of the freshman class were published in the first number of "The Dartmouth. Dartmouth university. Dartmouth to active part in these activities, and must check his activities by the use of a number.
No other find has been made in the sand pit which with one other near by is the property of the city of Mountdurridge. The workers have not deepened the hole much beyond the 25-foot level and it was at this lowest point where the tooth was found. It remained at depth for a depth more specimens may be found in addition to the single one now brought to light.
The sand pit contains, along with a high grade of pure gravel, some sand mixed with clay, streaks of lime stone and some soap stone or blue clay indicating conditions very similar to those in which fossils have been discovered in other portions of the state.
Practice of Organist May Prove Fascinating
Have you, in your spare moments so far this year, gone into Fraser chapel and listened to an organ student practicing? It would be well worth your while, for the contortions of an organist are fascinating, regardless of the musical pleasure you may derive.
Music from an organ seems to have an ethernalness that while you are listening to it, makes your thoughts pleasant and you less reluctant to get to work on that next assignment in the class. And this is why the University must feel this more than the women for a greater number choose the chapel for study.
Alaskan Insects Received
Exceptional Collection Arrive From Kobuk River
