Skeleton Gives Glimpse of Prehistoric Indiana

Germany may boast her prehistoric Neanderthal man: England had her builders of Stonehenge, and all Europe turns to the earlier civilization of the Cro-Magnon, or Reindeer man. Historians have magnified the significance of Europe's early man in the thread of prehistoric events and correspondingly have winked on America’s first inhabitants. Curiously, seekers of the faint connections with the yesteryear of American history have turned to Indiana for some of the most valued archaeological specimens. Indiana’s mounds have offered treasured links to the historical fact seeker. In the State museum at the Statehouse are the hones of one of this hemisphere’s earliest men. a chieftain, perhaps, of a nomadic tribe four or five thousand years our predecessors. Found in Lawrence County Imagine a man of eight-foot stature. followed by a hand of tribesmen, far his inferior in size, yet all towering above the average man of today. Peculiarities of his powerful figure have led to many conjectures. Wili iiam H. Hershman, curator of the museum, believes he preceded the early Indian by possibly several centuries. The big fellow was found in Guthrie Township. Lawrence County, in a square mound, buried in a \ f ault formed of thin limestone slabs. His teeth are perfect and his skull indicates a man of rare intellect, considering his day. That he belonged to a nomadic tribe is indicated by the superior development of his lower limbs. That he was a chieftain is shown in the smallness of his arms and shoulders. His immense size m ide him a logical leader. His preferential burial showed the reverence of his followers. Skull of Stone Age Another interesting fact is that his left upper arm had been fractured and a growth had healed the break where surgery was lacking.

Beside his gigantic skeleton is the skull of one of another tribe, possibly one of the true stone age. He was found in Tippecanoe County. His facial contour indicated less intelligence than that of his larger companion. On the right side his teeth ire worn obliquely, showing that he had exercised great force in chewing or in doing work of a similar nature. Hershman said the fact that early American man at this stage had not learned to temper metal Is self-“rident proof this fellow used his teeth to sharpen arrowheads, others differ, saying; the teeth were worn by eating flesh or be stripping flesh and hair from the skins of animals In preparation of arrow thongs. The larger of the two specimens was exhumed by Richard Guernsey of Bedford. If you meet anyone today in unaccountably good humor, he has probably just read “THE CHOCOLATE HYENA” by IRVIN S.

BIOKNELL MINERS FIND FONV ALIVE Animal Freed After 255 Hours Under Ground, By United Press BICKNELL, Ind., June 13.—After 255 hours, the tiny Shetland pony, companion of the three entombed miners in the new mine here, slept gratefully in a stall carefully bedded down with clean, warm straw. The faithful partner of ail their experiences in the mine was given up for dead. The hole through wjich the three men had been rescued was too small to drag even a small pony through. However, so great was the feeling for the little fellow that several men asked permission of mine officials to attempt to rescue him. When the pony was hoisted to the top of the shaft, little the worse for wear, all Bicknell turned out. With hands playing, children thronging, the pony was triumphantly marched down through Bicknell.
