Giant’s Skeleton at Fergus Falls

Fergus Falls, Minn., June 29. – A giant skeleton has been unearthed on the farm of County Commissioner Thore Glende, in the town of Everts. The jaw bone and the teeth were in a fair state of preservation, and the teeth were nearly twice the size of an ordinary man’s teeth. Tourists from St. Louis secured the bones and sent them to scientists in that city. It is supposed the remains are those of a prehistoric man.
