0hr Inland Dinosaur

A correspondent in New Bruns- wick deslrel further particulars about the Dinosaur mentioned in this column a. short time ago. All the information at hand 1a con- tained in Bairis “Natural History

(1890). and I give it as printed: "At New bondon part. of the yaw of a Dinoeallrus reptile, ca led Bathygnaflllla bltellla, was dis- covered in digging a v-cll on the farm of Mr. Z). oLeod This animal has been described as a. "moderate-sized hlligawr, scaled and crested. mounted erect on a pair of powerful posterior limbs which enabled it to leap with the agility of a frog." Its Jaws were short and powerful, and aimed with sabre-shaped teeth four inches in length, Its tlliole struc- ture evinced great strength, agility, and ferocity. ft belonged to the most perfect. family of reptiles that ever appeared on tho earth. Its length was about. tex- feet. and with a bound of sixteen cr eight- een feet it. ‘coped upon its prey." Thus says pain, and the only other person who seemed to re- collect the imirlent. said hi; thought the fossil was sent. to the 0.3 A.

In the fore part of the week. cattle receipls at WINNIPEG were insufficient to meet requirements and price increases were marked up. with practically all butcher cattle 50 cents lilgher. Later. how- ever, more liberal offering:- showed up and most of the early price ad- vance was wiped out. llil-st of the choice steers sold at $12.25 $12.50 and a few $12 60. with butcher steers cIOSIIIB around $12.25. CALGARY was active on a short supply and up '45 cents to 50 cents, with the to of the steer market at $12. whic EDMONTON was strong and generally 25 cents higti_ er on good steers. with a range of $11 to $11.25 paid. and some at $11.50 PRINCE ALBERT was higher. with wp steers $11.50.
