Pre Historic Bone Found Near Bronte Farm
A 30 feet long bone was uncovered last week on J. A. Percifull’s farm west of Bronte. It lay about ten feet underground, found by a Mc Guire Bros. crew digging a tank for Percifull. Percifull suspects the site was a watering place for ancient animals and plans to send a bone fragment to Austin for identification. Observers note the find is undoubtedly something large.
