DISCOVER
SKELETON OF 14 PREHISTORIC INDIANS
Remains
of Giant Race Are Found Near Santa Monica Beach
LOS
ANGELES, July 8. - Fourteen skeletons of giant Indians supposed to
have roved this section centuries ago, have just been dug from the
sands of the beach on Malibu ranch just north of Santa Monica. The
smallest skeleton indicates a stature of seven feet, while several of
the Indians must have been been at least eight feet tall.
The
discovery was made by three Santa Monica men camping at the mouth of
Malibu canyon. The skulls teeth and bones are in an excellent state
of preservation. Many relics of an extinct race have been found in
the same locality, but no skeletons of such size ever before have
been unearthed.
