Scientists Find Fossils of Human
Being Said to Have Lived There
4,000,000 Years Ago
Lincoln, Neb., —Harold Cook s re
cent discovery on his fossil bed
ranch in western Nebraska of the
tooth of a man who he and other
experts in natural histoiy sa> ex
isted 4,000,000,000 years ago right
here in this country has caused a
jot of excitement among the an
thropoligists who have been has-1
tening this direction from all points j
to examine the other fossilized ie- j
mains and piece out his history.
Dr. Cook says that these remains
prove conclusively that the history
of man runs back at least 4,000,000-
000 years, but that it is not pos
sible to link up the inhabitants of
this section then with those who
are now on earth, and that there is
no resemblance between the phy
sical characteristics of the ancient
and the red man who was found
here when the white came conquer
ing.
The finding of fossilized bone
weapons indicates to the anthropo
ligists that the first men lived on
the flesh of small animals they
were able to stalk and kill. Other
signs point to their having lived
in trees, not only because these
were safer from predatory ani
mals, but because any cave or man
made dwelling would always run
the risk of being smashed in from
the feet of a giant bear of those
days.
Crushed marrow bones in great
numbers found near the rude tools
of hunting proved the carnivorous
character of his appetite, and the

It restoreth my license dues; it

shadows of the night, thou are
with me—the jolting of thy

Thou preparest a string of bills in
the presence of my creditors;

Fast get-away ... easy, smooth operation ...
high speed roadability.,. unfailing power

exactly the type of performance that every

And the source of this matchless perform

dependability and economy.
In addition, there is all the finger-tip steer
