INDIANA SPECIMENS LIKE
THOSE FOUND NEAR MARLIN

Arrowhead Discovered Near Mastodon
Skeleton Leads to
New Theory.

       An Indian arrowhead reported unearthed by scientists of the Buffalo Museum of Science while they were digging on the Feldeiser farm near Crowell, Ind., in search of the skeleton of a mastodon may completely alter the belief by scientists that mastodons have been extinct thousands of years, it is stated.
       This recalls the fact that while excavations were being made for the new sewer disposal plant southwest of Marlin near the Brazos river, four or five specimens of arrowheads were found on the same level and a few feet from a section of the leg bone of a mastodon or prehistoric elephant.
       The arrowheads found near Marlin were 14 to 16 feet below the surface.  They were not all of the same kind.  There was a black one among them.
