September, 1951
Barada, Neb.-U.P.-A six and one half foot tusk, which may have been that of a pre-historic mammal, was unearthed here last week, two workmen said Saturday.
Jake Sailors and Dutch Hanika, both of Barada, dug out the bow-shaped tusk and seven-inch tooth, which weighs five pounds.
They were about buried 15 feet deep in an area cut away for a roadside improvement.
Paleontologists at the University of Nebraska have been notified.
The bone and tooth were found just across the county line in Nemaha County, about four miles northwest of here.
