Giant’s Skeleton

Dayton, O., Nov. 25. The skeleton of a human giant was found in the gravel pit east of the city by W. C. Fry, the owner of that pit. He found it measured about nine feet in length. The skull was six times larger than that of the average Caucasian. Professors Metzler and Foeste of the Steele High school believe the bones are those of a member of the primeval race.
