Police harvest marijuana
on paper company grounds
United Press International
KOUNTZE — Hardin Coun
ty police officers have harvested
two pickup truckloads of mari
juana found growing on land
owned by a paper company.
Sheriff H.R. Holzapfel said
Monday the marijuana was
planted on windrows left after
timber was cut from the land
owned by the St. Regis Paper Co.
“The tops were already cut
out of the plants. We know that
they’ve already been harvested
once,” Holzapfel said.
Members of a local hunting
club spotted the plants and noti
fied authorities last week. The
harvested plants could have
yielded about 150 pounds of
pot, Holzapfel said.

Jthe University of Califor-
j instantly recognized the
t jaw bones and attached
as belonging to the ancient
als.
hatterjee joined William
ister of Ohio State Uni-
By, Woodbourne and
from their place of origin in the
Americas. Chatterjee said the
find indicates the marsupials got
to Australia by crossing Antarc
tica when it was warm and habit
able.
The expedition, which ended
March 9, also produced evi
dence of the first mossasaur, a
marine lizard that lived 70 mil
lion years ago, the fossil bones of
a giant, 6-foot tall penguin,
skeletons of large marine re
ptiles and the first evidence of
bony fishes of the late Cre
taceous period.
Chatterjee, who said the dis
coveries should present an accu
rate picture of animal and plant
life on the continent before the
onset of glacial conditions, cal
led Seymour Island a fascinating
place.
“You can see the extinction on
this small island,” he said. “On
one side of the island, there are
large, prehistoric reptiles and on
the other side, only smaller, later
animals.”
He also said the island pre
sented a unique place in which
to study the theory that
meteorites crashing into the
earth caused the demise of the
giant animals.
Chatterjee, who alsojoined an
expedition with a team from the
University of Maine studying
glacial deposits in Antarctica’s
Dry Valley, said he planned to
return the frozen continent this
fall.

He said he believed that rock

Gondwana strata hold evidence
that Antarctica was alsojoined to
India in the distant past.
