FINDS GIANT'S BONES IN MOUND
Captain Newton H. Chittenden Makes Discovery of Skelelton of a Prehistoric Man
  Captain Newton H. Chittenden, the explorer and lecturer has proved the theory that he held for some time that the neighborhood was formerly the home of giants by finding the bones of the of the species. Captain Chittenden refuses to reveal the burial ground of this prehistoric man, but admits that it is somewhere in one of the oldest Indian mounds of West Berkeley.
    The bones found by Captain Chittenden make almost a complete skeleton, the missing parts being a number of the vertebrae.  The thigh bones are a large and measured by present day standards indicate that the owner of them must have been a man by at least eight feet high.  Half the skull is gone, but the half that remains shows that twice as many brains as that of the modern man.  This skull is like one found several years ago in West Berkeley when excavations were being made for the foundation of a building.
 " I have no doubt," say Captain Chittenden, "that ages ago giants roamed around this country.  This man was no monstrosity, such as we occasionally have nowadays, but a perfectly formed man ans possessed of great of great intellectual powers.  I intend to continue my investigation in the hope of finding more bones of our ancestors."
  Captain Chittenden will present the skeleton to the Berkeley High School.

Skeletons of Stone Age Men
Are Dug Prehistoric Inhabitants of Nutmeg State Were Flat 
Heads of Great Strength and Huge Teeth.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Aug. 19. Two complete skeletons, believed to have belonged to inhabitants of the earth In the Stone Age, are said to have been unearthed by a band of archaeologists, headed by  Prof. Warren King Moorehead, near the Housatonlc River, at Laurel Beach.
The professor and his assistants have been digging in this section for some time and claim discovery of a number of indications that the section was once Inhabited by a forgotten
race.
Both skeletons appear to be well preserved. The bones are rough, denoting great strength, the skulls are flat and both possess a perfect set of teeth of unusual size.
Prof. Moorehead said It was his belief the bodies were burled In salt water several thousand years ago, which accounts for their preservation. He also expressed the hope that he
and his assistants would soon locate a burial ground of a trlbe of ancient race.

9 Foot Nephilim Giant Uncovered Near Muncie, Indiana

Quarterly Magazine Now and Then, 1888 

The Muncie Daily Times a year or two ago stated that "One of these mounds located three 

miles from Muncie was opened not long ago and found to be a sepulchral mound and 

contained the skeleton of a man who in life must have been a giant, at least nine feet high." 

This "Big Indian Story" would be hard to believe if giants about as great in stature did not 

exist in recent times.

BIGGEST GIANT EVER KNOWN

Nine Feet High and Probably a California Indian

Measurement Well Authenticated

Other Big Men and Women of Fact and Fable Who Are Famous Types if Giantism

The corpse of the biggest man that ever lived has been dug up near San Diego California. At all events, there is no satisfactory read in the ancient or modern history of any human being nearly so tall. The mummy-for in such a condition the remains were found is that of a person would have been about nine feet high in life. This makes allowances for the shrinkage, which may be pretty closely calculated.

As to the accuracy of the estimate, there can no question, as the cadaver has been carefully inspected and measured by Prof. Thomas Wilson, Curator of the Department of Prehistoric Anthropology in the Smithsonian Institution, and by other scientists. The tapeline even now registers the length from heel to top of the head at eight feet four inches.

The mummy is that of an Indian and is almost certainly prehistoric, though its age cannot be determined with any sort of accuracy. Historical records of the part of California where it was found go back for at least 250 years, and they make no mention of any man of gigantic stature. How much older the body may be must be left open to conjecture. Its preservation, its preservation is no matter of surprise, in that arid region, the atmospheric conditions are such that a corpse buried in the dry season might very well become perfectly desiccated before the arrival of the rains, and thus be rendered permanently proof against decay.

The body was found in a cave by a party of prospectors. Over the head are the remnants of a leather hood. The man was well advanced in years.

It has been stated that the man must have surpassed in height any giant of whom there is a historical record. This is unquestionably true so far as the last two centuries are concerned, and accounts of older dates are not well authenticated. Indeed they grow more and more apocryphal as distant in time increases.

This is the actual photo that was used in the newspaper article.  Note how the mummy's arms are folded and how the man on the right is mimicking the pose.  Unfortunately, the article mentions the Smithsonian which means the giant has been lost or destroyed.  
It is also important to note the symmetry of the mummy, whose gigantic size does not appear to be the result of Gigantism or any other of the physical dysfunction that archaeologists immediately hypothesize.
