LOCKWOOD SOLD HIS FIND.
Unidentified Monster Found in North End
to Be a Circus Exhibit.
James Lockwood, who discovered a peculiar reptile near Second and Wyandotte streets Tuesday, was possessed of a spirit of commercialism yesterday morning and placed the long-tailed creature on exhibition near Twelfth and Main streets. After he had been visited by naturalists and curious ones for half a day and had cleared at least $3, he decided to sell his new found possession. A man who claimed that he was a circus advance agent gave him $15 for sole possession. He promptly took down his sign and left his place of business.
No one was able to tell what the creature really is. It was agreed that it belonged to the lizard family.
