A THREE HORNED DINOSAUR THE LATEST Washington, March 30.—There arc now being assembled in the United States National Museum, the bones of a very small three horned dinosaur whiqh is being made the type of a new species. This diminutive dinosaur meas ures about six feet in length and stands only about three feet high. Its head is 22 inches long. When its bones are compared with those of the larger members of this ex traordinary family of reptiles, it will be seen that this specimen is less than one-fourth of their size. In the National Museum arc sev eral skulls of one of the lange horned dinosaurs. Triceratops, which measure from 6 to 8 feet, and in one case 9 feet. The group to which this new member belongs is called the Cer- atopsia from the horns which adorn their heads; two above the eyes and one on the end ot the nose. Unlike the others, this spe cies has small and not prominent horns over the eyes, while the imsaLhorn is an outgrowth of the nasal hone and not an additional j wbere j bc burg l ar made his ap- growth as is thc case with the pearan ce were the homes of W. “I* 16 ® 8 - |W.

While the exact dates for the third annual Chautauqua in Way- cross have not been announced it is expected that thc chautauqua will open during the month of May, probably the middle of the month. The program that will be used will be that furnished by the Red- path Company, and it is reported that no better talent has ever been sent to the South than the Rcdpath Company has secured for thc 1914 circuit. Further investigation of the re ported attempts at burglary in Ilebardville 'Sunday night has disclosed that no less .than seven houses werb visited, the intruder in one place knocking a light out of thc hands of a man who was searching for him. According to the information given the Journal tho places After much preliminary survey ing and investigation by the prop erty owners interested the first petition for the establishment of a drainage district under the Georgia drainage law that was passed directly through the ef forts of Senator J. L. Sweat, of this city, was yesterday filed with amplified .the clerk of Ware Superior court. Thc petition is addressed to the drainage court of Ware, the court being composed of the clerk of Superior Court and the county commissioners. It will probably be among the matters considered at the April seasion of the county commission- era. Thirty property owners, many of them well known business men of Waycross, signed the petition. Among those asking for the drainage district are the Georgia Fruit Farm and Pecan Company, G. A. Croom, J. A, Jones, E. Seasholtz, P. L. Jones, Southern Stock Farm Company, J; B. Lewis, J. T. Myers,.the Sirmans Realty Company. The petition was prepared by Attorney Dewitt Deen. Included in the proposed drain age district are 19,500 acres, all in the eighth and ninth district* of Ware, south and southeast of Waycross. The petitioners are a majority of the land owners and own three-fifths of all land to be affected by or assessed for the im- provement desired.

This particular speciment was found with the foot and tail arti- cuplated, which makes it espe. cmlly interesting, as being thc first complete and connected spe cimen ever obtained. - The foot has fonr toes, the first with two bones, the second with three, the fourth with five, while oijly a trace of the fifth toe remains, tending to show thc loss of that member through disuse, as is'the case with the horse. This small individual is the most complete dinosaur that has been found. These fossils were found by Charles W. Gilmore in 1913, while working for the Geological Sur vey in the Blackfeet Reservation in northwestern Montans.
