Walker, INS Staff Correspondent) Chicago.—The only complete skeleton of a prehistoric man, in the United States now rests in it*' Field Museum. It is the Cap-Wane skeleton of a i youth who lived in southwestern France about 25,000 years ago when the cave dwellers first begin drawing pictures of mammoths nml other ancient animals on the walls their livii g quarters. These pictures comprise the first man made hint of art so far discovered. Discovery of the skeleton was accidental according to Dr. Ber thold Laufer, curator of the Mu seum’s department of anthropo logy. ‘‘Back in 1911,” said Dr. Laufer, “while workers were excavating in n shallow cave in the Dordogne region of France, one them found some rubble about two feet below a frieze of horses carved on the wall above. Scientists immediately took over the work and recovered a complete skeleton. “The bones were covered with small stonea anil earth. Thu skele ton was lying on the left side, the left arm flexed, the right elbow resting on the right knee, with the hand covering the face. The legs were drawn up and interlocked. The face was turned onto the left side resting on the chest. “Apparently the last thing: which filled the eyes of the prehistoric youth, who was about 25 years old. was the friezo of six life-like horses, following each Ovher in line, and held to be the most im posing piece of sculpture of the Magdulenian period ever discover ed.” l)r. Luufer said that from the presence and position of the skele ton scientists have evolved a theory that the youth might have been the actual sculptor of the friese and that finding death near he decided to expir * looking at the masterpiece he created or helped to create. “The cause of the young man’s death is problematical,” said Dr. Laufcr. “Careful examination failed to disclose disease as the cause. Discovery of an ivory spear head lying on the abdomen of the skeleton suggests the youth might have been fatally iniuKed in a fight or an accident. “While the skull was crushed by the weight of the large stona, the teeth were left intact. They are perfect in structure and such is their excellence that a dentist, not knowing the antiquity of the skele ton, pronounced the teeth to be as perfect as thoi e of a healthy youth of today.” Columbia, April 6.—The senate committee on privilege* ami elec tion* today recommended that the protest of Ed II. DeCamp against the seuting of Dr. W. C. Hamrick as Cherokee county senator suc ceeding the late Senator Richmond Stacy be referred buck to the Cherokee county board of can vassers.
