Prehistoric monster

Dan Sinkey, living near Iron Hills, recently found in a small stream near his house, three ribs and part of a leg bone of a prehistoric monster, probably a mastodon. The bones were found near where a large tusk and several teeth-some of them weighing fifteen pounds each-were found several years ago. Professor Ellis of this city heard of the find and drove out and secured the bones for his museum. -Record
